Maybe it's because I'm a survivor of domestic violence or maybe it's because I've spent my entire career working with other survivors but if you think Canadians going on the radio & begging Americans to see our humanity & not annex us is going to be effective, then I have a bridge I can sell you.

I created a custom feed for #OntarioNativePlants & #OntarioNativePlantGardening: pin & like it here bsky.app/profile/did:... It will also catch #SouthernGreatLakes (±Region) if #plants #gardening #landscaping are also mentioned. Looking to re-build local community after leaving #facebook.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

The proper framing, and this is how CBC News is describing it, is "Trump's threat to Canadian sovereignty" These aren't just "comments".

Try replacing ‘comments’ with ‘threats’ and that is much more indicative of the serious situation we are facing as a country.

Ive said it before but Ill say it again Gardening is a lot of fun and growing things is nice but also you learn a valuable lesson which is: I would absolutely starve to death if I needed to grow all of my own food

at the Grand Canyon earlier this week we accidentally trailed a creationist group on a guided tour about how the canyon proves that the earth is just 6k years old. wild to see the confidence of a dude with a binder proclaim that mainstream science is all lies. anyway that’s our federal gov now

With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95. They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more. It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

Have you ever heard of a limnic eruption? Probably not, since only a few have occurred in recorded history. Here is a thread on one of the wildest natural disasters that almost never happen, and the “invisible tsunami” that claimed over 1,700 lives in the middle of the night, without a sound. 1/10🧵

Update on my life: Last year, I joined my kids' school's PTA, because they needed a treasurer and I'm good enough with numbers. It was a straightforward, self-contained job: balancing the checkbook for an organization that only did a few fundraisers each year.

It's a weirdly patriotic experience to go grocery shopping in Canada this week. Just aisle after aisle of people angrily reading labels while occasionally exchanging knowing glances.

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧵

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

This is a threat of annexation from a President of the United States who isn’t taking our Prime Minister’s calls. “AND POISONOUS DRUGS that are allowed to so freely flow into AMERICA” is doing the work of “Canadians are ethnically Americans!” here. Appeasement is not an option.

Trudeau is making it damn clear this is going to be a trade war, not a trade shakedown.

At the very least, pause it. And consider going Telsat. If ford is serious this is a key step.
