Not sure anything I’ve done professionally, as much as I wish it were, has been as important as the Cat Political Compass I just created

In a few days, Mark Carney will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. Carney just gave up his entire portfolio to help grow Canada's economy. Pierre PoiLIEvre won't even get a security clearance. The choice in the next election is crystal clear #NeverPoilievre #noPoilierveforCanada #VOTELIBERAL

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

Always makes me smile when somethjng reminds me of @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

I saw this on another platform and thought it was spot on: The mass deletion of stuff from US websites *is* a 2025 version of book burning. And, as when Nazis did it in the 1930s, they are removing information about (and useful to) marginalised groups. Stop Nazis early. Resist. Don't collaborate.

Rabbit-Rabbit & Imbolc Blessings, Everyone! On the eve of Imbolc, when winter & spring join hands, the rabbits gather in the sacred ruins to summon the turning of the wheel. But these aren’t ordinary rabbits. They are the Firelight Rabbits, the keepers of an ancient rite. ~ Carrie Paris #WitchSky

If you have Apple TV, tomorrow would be a great day to watch Come from Away, the musical about the people of Gander, Newfoundland taking in the passengers of 38 planes on 9/11. Thank you Canada and Mexico for all you do for us every day.

I've just learned the existence of Breathable, an app that assesses air quality: breathable.app Apparently it used to have a cost to download but is now free. 💜

Instead of "I apologize for the delay," write "thank you for your patience." In lieu of "sorry for the oversight," write "if you're so perfect, why don't you fu*king do it, Marsha." Follow me for more etiquette tips. 😁

2025 is a square number, but 45 is also a Kaprekar number in that it's square, 2025, can be split apart to sum to the original number, 20+25=45.

In their own words: residents of Fort Chipewyan talk about their experiences — and fears — downstream from the Alberta oilsands’ trillion-litre tailings ponds, full of arsenic, mercury and lead:

Nasra has been on my list to get back to for a long time and I just haven’t had time but she is @noorhassan.bsky.social’s sister (who was on Bluesky before October 7) and she needs help.

Truth. 👇

ICYMI.

I'm glad that my summary of my biographical research into Elon Musk has gone viral on multiple social media platforms (see my pinned post if you haven't already). It's extremely dangerous that so many people in America—including in our media—don't yet know the harrowing story of who Musk is. I do.

THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING PEOPLE, WAKE UP.

After 25 years in the classroom, I've learned that following routines is very important in the last week before winter break. I've also learned that every routine has been lit on festive fire for the season and you'd better buckle up for the ride, bébé. Happy last week of teaching in 2024, #OntEd.

Underlines why Bluesky is so important.... the only social media site not controlled by these billionaires.

I just realized there were exactly 1400 days between Jan 6, 2021 & Nov 5, 2024 1400 days & Merrick Garland couldn't be bothered to show up for even 1 day to do his job & ensure no American is above the law. 1400 days of apathy. 1400 days of cowardice. 1400 days—& now an insurrectionist is POTUS.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees? We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share. We escaped hell to be here. Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)
