I recently picked up @nolore.bsky.social and @sandela.bsky.social 's new books ("Corporate Control" and "Defund: Black Lives, Policing and Safety for All", respectively). Both sober, sharp and critical, full of weighty insights. Highly recommended.

This is savagery. The Liberal government of Canada has been providing cover and spreading the genocidal statement that “Israel has the right to defend itself” which means exterminate Palestinians.

Apparently I am not posting enough bread! So here is some Freshly Milled Einkorn Sourdough.

I have a c. 1985 Toshiba stereo system in need of a few repairs (the right speaker isn't working, and also cassettes play too fast!). Does anyone have any recommendations for repair shops in #YEG that service vintage electronics like this? I've already sent an inquiry to Sigma!

This is a gallery of what went into our netzero house in frigid Edmonton, Alberta. There are many ways to do it, but we did it as economically as possible in 2015/2016. It's easier and less expensive to do it now. #netzero #yeg photos.app.goo.gl/2A4p1L3hGD9a...

I’ve been thinking about canoes a lot lately. I’ve decided to take a whimsical turn with “Paddling Bear”. The bear will be black and you will have a choice of a red or green canoe. It is a limited edition of 8 pieces. It is 11”h x 17”w x 4”d. Message me to reserve one.

The whole recent blah blah blah around food safety has the stereoscopic vision of a mole.

He just came to this now?

Not quite sure Canada's elxn is as stunning of a right wing loss as many are making it out to be. Conservatives won huge % of popular vote incl significant inroads in certain immigrant communities. And Libs didn't even "campaign left, govern right", they campaigned right esp on economic policies.
