Just letting you know that today is the last day of the CKLU pledge drive. Pleas if you are able to go to cklu.ca and pledge anything you can. it all helps.

Ford wants as few people to vote as possible. Let's disappoint him. Please vote, so we can take him out of office and put him under investigation, where he belongs. All the ID, poll location, accessibility, candidate information you need is right here: www.elections.on.ca/en.html

I keep seeing American media saying Canadians are pissed about tariffs. I think they are wildly underestimating the effect of all the "51st state" comments. My rage is fueled by existential dread not economics.

The NDP is the party of universal public healthcare 🍊We have a plan to FIX it, to connect every single Ontarian with a family doctor. You deserve to have the care you need, when you need it. You deserve a Government that cares about YOU.

Apathy is boring & overrated. Giving a shit about others, showing up for your community & banding together to keep each other safe? Très chic. Very cool. Let me teach you bystander intervention - for free! Feb 17 noon - 1pm EST Cameras/mics muted Open to anyone anywhere aged 12+ Register!

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

Floof.

You can vote on the new baby hippo’s name! the choices are: Poppy Juniper Hammie Mae Omi I am interested to know what you vote if you do 👀 metrorichmondzoo.com/newsroom/pyg...

anybody hear about this?

Santa Claus is my favorite cryptid. Unless chibi mothman is an option. Can't resist chibi mothman.

Lost an uncle to COVID three days ago. It doesn't seem real that he won't be at holiday gatherings ever again. He was the kind of person that shone a light wherever he went. Rest in peace Uncle Ron.

Listening to a 90's playlist that has everything from Bare Naked Ladies to Rage Against the Machine to solo classical guitar. The whiplash is real.

Accidentally ordered delivery to a friend's address in another city. Someone is getting surprise chicken dinner tonight. Someday I will learn to double check the address in the delivery app. Someday. 😮‍💨

I still remember being a kid and reading We Have Always Lived In The Castle thinking it was a book for kids. Shirley Jackson, children's author.😆😭

OMG this is up to magic number 42! Can we get 50 followers? That would be so incredibly rad! 😎

This is the one that broke me. Thank you, Nikki Giovanni.

Blue Sky is feeling like good Twitter used to and it's reminding me how fucking addictive that was. Ruh-roh.

Just a reminder: A strike is supposted to be inconvient. If it doesn't apply pressure from the public on the employer then the employer will not give a shit. If they did give a shit then a strike would not be happening. Don't get mad at the workers be mad that the boss doesn't care about the staff.

Eeeeee!!! I've been approved for an arc of The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older!!! I already pre-ordered it, of course, but now I don't have to wait to read it!!!

“I have too many books” -judgemental -boring -implies impulse-control issues “The books... they have me.” - mysterious - occult - implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage #readingcommunity

Canada Post is a public service and we should NOT expect it to make a profit. Do we expect parks to turn a profit? Or emergency services? Do roads turn a profit? Canada Post provides a broad service to Canadians and SHOULD be government funded and maintained.

Public service announcement: Andrei Tarkovsky classics #Solaris, Stalker, The Mirror and more besides are now available in full (and legally) on YouTube.

Like Tom Holland's Lip Sync battle, we repost this every time it comes across the TL.
