want to feel old? this is caillou today

While Premier Tim Houston runs his mouth about #NovaScotia being open for business, Mi’kmaq Chiefs have been clear that any gas or minerals to be found here are NOT his to sell. The Mi’kmaq are no “special interest group” but the inherent and legally affirmed caretakers of these lands and waters.

!!! 📣 🐺 @suegoyette.bsky.social

BREAKING: Israel says as of this morning, it has laid siege to Gaza and two million Palestinians, preventing entry of all food supplies and other goods. This is GENOCIDE

If covid was a conspiracy by Big Sweatpants to get me to only wear sweatpants for the rest of my life then congratulations to the most goated conspiracy of all time

Signing this feels like a no brainer. #NSpoli

Emblematic of the Canadian apology tbh 🙄

Saw this one briefly while I was driving back from an assignment yesterday, near St. Croix #novascotia #canada #bigcrop

More than 200 attend Halifax town hall to push back against ‘corporate agenda’ By @mmughees.bsky.social

Tonight’s town hall in #Halifax was legit. Was beautiful to be in a room of over 200 people organizing together against profiteers, bigots and other scoundrels 🔥 #nspoli

"I view the conduct as extremely serious involving racism directed towards Indigenous women, that is a group that has been systemically disadvantaged through all sectors of the criminal justice system for generations," said Tammen.

Honestly fuck this Insulting to Mi’kmaq land defenders and settler co-accomplices in #NovaScotia and beyond who fought so very hard to have their rights respected and voices heard to get the fracking ban in place. Good luck getting anywhere w this, Houston

This DIY PARODY CYBERTRUCK omg 😆

Please - I beg my suddenly flag-waving friends and neighbours. Take a second. Look around. Listen to Indigenous people. Here’s a good 🧵-

I’m not leaving the bathtub until spring… or at least until I finish this fun lil spy novel

Is it racist regression or has the veneer just been scratched?

“During a speech to crowd of about 500 people gathered in a Halifax hotel ballroom, Houston said his government would not allow special interest groups and ‘professional protesters’ to hold back efforts to expand the province's economy.” #NsPoli #Mikmaki cbc.ca/amp/1.7454354

"We as Mi’kmaq have rights that predate the existence of Canada. And as settlers began to move into our territory centuries ago, we made treaties with them—not to create rights, but to remind settlers that we had them, to protect our rights." niche-canada.org/2020/10/19/s... #cdnhist #treatyrights

From ‘Skyhook’ (1971) —Lindsay Smith #PoetryAotearoa #poetry #poems

“Calling Houston’s statement ‘a shining light amid 40 years of darkness,’ the veteran prospector said lifting the (uranium mining) moratorium would send a clear signal to investors & mining companies that #NovaScotia is open to all types of exploration.” BUT Mi’kmaq & NS citizens already said NO

"So much of the work of oppression is about policing the imagination." - Saidiya Hartman

Midwinter in Mi’kma’ki

Black & Indigenous students at Acadia + allies, are demanding equity, transparency & support after a series of poor HR & policy decisions. Demands include retracting an egregious new policy curtailing student rights to protest. Coverage & petition here: theath.ca/news/african...

Having grown up in boom & bust Guysborough Co, I can attest to the long, shitty tradition of #NovaScotia gov overselling energy projects, getting local hopes up for jobs & services that fail to materialize, benefiting noone in long run but politicians & speculators, & often leaving a mess behind.

What working on my weirdo PhD (exploring methods for unravelling settler structures of feeling as part of how to support Indigenous resurgence) looks like on the day to day:

OpenAI right now

Yes there are horrors…. But at least there are also cats-on-lap:

Black & Indigenous students at Acadia University are demanding transparency, policies, support, dialogue & to revoke the school’s chilling new protest policy- Valley community & beyond, let’s show solidarity. There’s a protest 10:30 am tmrw & a petition to share: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Examiner asked Halman how opening NS up to mining for lithium & uranium would have any impact on the construction of the new wind farms needed by 2030 to comply with legislated renewable energy targets. His reply: “There are a lot of moving parts with climate change & energy policy.” 🙃

Houston gonna find out that Mi’kmaq sovereignty is not a “special interest”

Seems like a good time to remind folks of the ordinary ppl in the Kenmore St area of Glasgow, Scotland, who prevented the police from arresting a couple of asylum seekers in an early morning immigration raid. The protestors remained until the men were released www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021...

These images of return are so moving

Oh yah definitely not nazi stuff… 🙃

the rate that people are deleting social medias is not matching the infrastructure built to create alternative ways of organizing, fundraising, breaking news, etc. :/

Mi’kmaq women can teach us a good few things about justice, if we have ears to listen. My heart is with the family and community of Annie Mae Aquash, pictured here on a Kjipuktuk billboard created by Tayla Paul and Rebecca Cope. #LeonardPeltier

My algorithm in the other place has increasingly felt like I’m rummaging through tabloids and screaming through a garbage fire. Will I find some comrades here? *testing*
