I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

🚨 LIBERAL MINORITY GOVERNMENT CONFIRMED 🚨

Poilievre continues streak of achieving nothing #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Canada! Tomorrow is election day! Do you know where your polling station is? Do you know what ID you need to vote? Elections.ca has your back!

Fresh Hardcover alert for new book coming out. The galaxy is dying. A robot and a thief are trying save it. Part 2. DARK PROPHET. May 15.

happy april 25th aka the perfect date ✨

Buy books responsibly!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Canada! Next Saturday (April 26) is Canadian Independent Bookstore Day! There's a contest you can enter by buying a book from your favourite indie bookstore on the 26th. Info here! www.indiebookstores.ca/cibd-contest/ Your local indies might have some events planned, too!

Hey Canada! Advanced Polls are now OPEN! Friday to Monday you can vote from 9am to 9pm - go to elections.ca to find out where and how. After all, the Easter Bunny might not be real, but threats to our democracy are! (I asked Carney to make this his slogan and he refused for some reason) 🐣🍁

Tariffs xkcd.com/3073

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs. Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.

My trade deficit with Costco is wild.

We're funded! In under an hour! * Kermit the Frog flailing gif * Now, can we hit the first stretch goal by the end of the day??? www.kickstarter.com/projects/kot...

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen: theatln.tc/UHOLqA9E

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada called for a federal election to take place on April 28, as the country navigates threats from President Trump.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Here we go: the rewriting of history has formally begun "Oklahoma proposes teaching standards suggesting 2020 election ‘discrepancies’" www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

America has tried to annex Canada before. It didn't go well then, @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes, and it probably won't go well now.

Though a certain ~boycott~ ends tomorrow, indie bookshops need our support all year long. We're not going anywhere 💓

Oh, Insta isn't showing the preview? here you gooooooo
