I would love to hear the freedom/academic freedom banshees holler about how the Trump administration is crushing Harvard right now. Doesn’t sound very free to me.

Not a good look for someone running in an area that has been all but fished out entirely. When I hear people talk about their "marine assets", it's rich people's docks. Our real marine asset is a healthy and functioning marine ecosystem.

I was working in Gibsons during the quake and we were hearing them all morning! We got to site at 8 and heard 3-4 deep, extended rumbles (kinda like a fighter jet) until finally the rumble was accompanied by a shake. Pretty surreal when you are kneeling on the forest floor and it starts to move.

Great (and short!) article on the repatriation of Indigenous ancestral remains in America. @cpqathet.bsky.social will be collaborating with the qathet Museum in April to screen a film on this issue. Stay tuned!

A new law signed by Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah prohibits unions from negotiating wages and other terms for teachers, firefighters, police officers and all other public employees, joining just two other states that have banned collective bargaining in the public sector.
Utah Bans Collective Bargaining for Public Workers
Utah joined two other states in prohibiting collective bargaining for teachers, police officers and other public employees in a move that was seen as a possible blow to the country’s labor movement.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

I made a substack! Do I hate self promotion? Yes I do, but I enjoy writing more 🌟

My Notion blog still exists (I adore Notion!) but it’s not the best platform (it’s not searchable) so I’m slowly moving everything over.

Working on a computer all day after spending most of your life engaged in manual labour is a different kind of suffering at work. I miss being a builder a lot these days.

I’m so glad a local finally wrote about this struggle from a different perspective than the WRS. I am tired of the lies and misinformation about this issue. Nobody is coming to take your land and the only people at risk of losing a fraction of their luxury are the ultra wealthy- and their realtors.

Police tried to protect a small group of armed neo-Nazis from angry community members today on a freeway overpass in #Ohio, people managed to push through police as the Nazis escaped in a box truck.

Young people then set fire to a stolen Nazi flag.

I wrote a critical review of one denialist’s shitty, racist work. Her writing has been upending some great collaborative work on Lasqueti Island and fomenting anti-Indigenous racism and hate in our communities.
