Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.

It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post.

If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

🎉✊❤️ Congratulations to the Uber drivers of Greater Victoria — the newest members of @ufcw1518.com!! This is spectacular, history-making news: a global first for workers in the gig economy. We're proud to stand with you and behind you.

Congratulations to Uber drivers in Greater Victoria on winning your union - and welcome to our movement. We're beyond thrilled to have you. This is spectacular news: a global first for workers in the gig economy. To UFCW 1518 and the workers who put in such an enormous effort to make this a success, huge congratulations on this historic achievement. We know you'll do a stellar job of representing these new members - and showing workers throughout the gig economy what a difference a union can make. We're proud to stand behind you and with you. A victory like this is why we fight so hard for single-step certification. Employers like Uber would love the law to throw roadblocks and delays into unionizing, so they get more time to interfere in a decision that's none of their business. Instead, in BC, when workers say they want a union, the law takes them at their word - and that's exactly the way it should be. Congratulations and solidarity all around. We're proud of all of you.

On the blog: I doubled the wordcount of this piece about the awkward place my queer, wholesome, cozy porn game "Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story" has on the spectrum of Wholesome™ games, and the cowardly hypocrisy of erasing sex from visions of coziness. #biggblog

www.bpgamesinc.com/opportunity-...
Splash art from Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story showing main character Jacqueline coming upon her daughter Aster and Aster’s babysitter Shruthi engaged in a game involving cat ears and makeup. Excerpt from linked article that reads "This, combined with its cast of multicultural queers and its warm, friendly color palette of pinks and oranges and deep reds, would seem to make it a natural fit with the ever-growing crowd of Wholesome(TM)-brand titles – but, of course, it isn’t, because you see the dick going in. Which is sort of the beating heart of the issue, isn’t it? I didn’t write Opportunity to try and chase wholesome/cozy trends, but if I had I would be eternally disappointed because of the inherent “family-friendly” baggage forever grafted to any designation of wholesomeness. That really sticks in my craw, since a huge part of Opportunity‘s central thesis is an exploration of the shifting ways in which “family” is defined and preserved. Jacqueline comforting her son as he grapples with his understanding of his father’s departure will never matter to the kind of people who make Wholesome Directs because at other points we see Jacqueline with cum on her. Olive threading the needle of her extant marriage to her husband with her burgeoning partnership with Jacqueline will never rate because at another point we see Olive on a wild extramarital fuck-bender. And so on."
