How #ADHD makes me excellent at consuming large amounts of data and coming up with patterns... but incapable of sharing that information without dropping a Wiki-hole's worth of tangents and associated context. Brevity

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canada’s Governor General calls for Hudson’s Bay artifacts to be returned to Indigenous communities

(Contact info for Hudson's Bay is below)

"β€œThese are things that belong to the people,”
Earlier this year, a court ruled that Canada’s oldest company can prepare to auction off more than 4,000 artifacts and pieces of art. HBC has been facing pressure from The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, the Assembly of First Nations and the Assembly of Manitoba Chief to halt the sale of art and artifacts that have cultural and historical significance to Indigenous communities."

This regal AF Norwegian goat wishes you a happy Midsommar 🌞

A black and white male goat with long slightly curved horns and a long white beard lays on top of a small hill in a patch of green grass. In the background is a Nordic forest.

This #Summer #Solstice I am grateful I took the time to wrap up work early, grab a lychee soda and soju, and reach my neighbourhood beach at just the right tide.
I am now digging my toes in the sand, searching for interesting shapes in the shells as I let go of weeks of stress.
For just a moment, I can forget all the problems and projects waiting for me.
For a few hours, I have a book about space octopi and interstellar spiders who have outgrown their Humans. It gives me hope. #ChildrenofRuin

Americans held likely the largest protest in history and, apart from the blessed @guardian, it's all but forgotten in so-called mainstream media, which try to silence us.
Were the No Kings protests the largest single-day demonstration in American history?

I'm meeting with my BC Member of the Legislative Assembly tomorrow to specifically ask him to work with me & others on championing the use of the fediverse among elected representatives.
I'm inviting you to write a reply to this Mastodon post, which I will deliver to MLA Botterell. #yyj #BCpoli

Many constituents don't use the fediverse, so why do you think this topic should be of concern to MLA Rob Botterell?

You can also send him a message:

Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.

What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.

Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.

(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)

The image shows a social media post with a black background and white text. The text of the post reads: "I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren’t the one to pushed out into the ocean next year. Is that radical enough for you?"

When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an
attitude” and "acting out”.
It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities-
one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.
It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".

When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was
toxic and abusive, and the β€œattitudes” I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.
It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.

Noticed the fabulous LEGO store Brick By Brick carries zero new Harry Potter sets. I asked the person behind the desk about it and she said, β€œoh, we’re never going to give any money to that franchise.” β€œThank you.” β€œHappy Pride.” βœ¨πŸ’™βœ¨

Since this has taken off : bxbtoys.com

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husbandβ€”and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wifeβ€”fear was the official message.

But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #press

At the protest today, we walked past Sarah Jacobs (our congress woman) standing on the corner shouting "Thank you for doing this!" to the crowd.

Very classy.

No press, no "event", no "vote for me" signs, no spectacle... just an elected official showing support.

More of this please.

Just got home from the protest at the Minnesota State Capitol. It was somber, it was passionate, it was angry, and it was peaceful. So fuck the bastards trying to scare us out of demonstrating and protesting. #NoKings #Minnesota
