🇨🇦 All right, my fellow Canadians!!! 🇨🇦 What are we going to do when fascism begins to rule the USA? How will we take in refugees? How will we feed & shelter people? How will we deradicalize ppl? We need to start planning now. It will come quickly when it comes. What are you prepared to do, and how?

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

Remember that a big part of necromantic #magic is awareness of the sort of ancestor you’d like to be for those who will one day call ~your~ name in times of trouble.
This is the moment when that future #ancestor is forged in fire and honed to a razors edge—make good trouble.

I've been screaming it for years: the right in Canada is headed down an American-style path on almost every issue because the right-wing media plays that tune, and the right-wing pretend media plays that tune. It's headed in one direction, and we have never had a clearer view of where that leads.

I'm old enough to remember back in the early 2020s when the US federal government provided free breakfast & lunch to children at all public schools for like two whole years, and also expanded the child tax credit causing child poverty across the entire country from sea to shining sea to fall by half
“Childhood hunger in the U.S. is solvable. There is no shortage of food, only of moral courage. But it shouldn’t require much courage to speak up on behalf of kids,” writes @billshore.bsky.social in an op-ed.
Op-ed: Food and Moral Courage Are Needed to End Childhood Hunger
Studies have documented the advantages to kids, schools, and the economy when students receive nutritious school meals.

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA.
Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death.
Here they show:
* restrictions on divorce
* restrictions on abortion…
both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) 🛟🩺

If you lived on a planet more than 65 million light years away, if you had a powerful enough telescope, if you looked at Earth, you'd see dinosaurs roaming the world~
Quote this skeet with a random fact you love, that brings you joy, I'll start:
Otters have pockets. The skin under their armpits makes a natural fold that they keep things in.
