Solidarity is a word we all need to lean into hard and fast. We need to embrace an ethos of sticking together. We all get out of this together or none of us do, there is no other way.

“requesting to understand “. Did a ten year old write this?

Unsurprisingly, the billboard was paid for by a group led by Peter Downing, founder of the Wexit group. I wrote a few weeks ago on Daveberta.substack.com that separatists like Downing and former WCC MLA Gordon Kesler are now calling on Alberta to become the 51st state. 👎

Under the Lesser Moon is now available on Kindle Unlimited! Grimdark with hope. Stone Age setting. Dragons. If you like heart wrenching reads with unique world building, we’ve got you!

New covers for the Ramsbolt ebooks. Paperbacks coming soon!

Actionable Moment: If you're neurodivergent without a formal diagnosis, I would hold off on seeking one for now (if you can tolerably manage.) I've had some luck getting low level accommodations using vague language like "I got a sensory thing" or "I'm an introvert."

An important point to keep in mind.

Bears repeating yet again that if/when the next pandemic starts ripping through the population we will probably only become broadly aware of it when the hospitals and morgue trucks start overflowing

Easily my favourite book of the year. Misplaced explores consumerism, capitalism, dysmorphia and identity—and how much of our identity is tied up in our parts. This was a fascinating, tender read with found family, diverse cultures and terrifying cults. Are you the sum of all your pieces?

Writers are full of anxiety because we’re very good at imagining in excruciating detail every possible thing that could go wrong.

Wanna see ALL the interior art for the entire Dark Walker Series? Here it is in one gratuitous video trailer. Enjoy! #GulfShellyCampbell #BreachShellyCampbell #SeedShellyCampbell @eerieriver.bsky.social

I’m so excited to wrap up the Dark Walker trilogy this summer! I’m so proud of this coming-of-age horror/sci-fi series. And I’m honoured that @eerieriver.bsky.social allowed me to not only design the covers but include interior art too! Here’s a sneak peek of book 3 SEED! #seedshellycampbell

He said this a while ago and nobody I knew took it seriously. You bet your ass he's serious. This is how they manage the loss of migrants doing agricultural work - they send everyone with mental health concerns to do it instead.

According to Musk, single moms are part of the "parasite class." Disabled people are part of the "parasite class." Veterans are part of the "parasite class." Poor people are part of the "parasite class." You know who is ACTUALLY a parasite and a drain on society? Billionaires.

"This is a government that has no money for essential Alberta workers, but lots of money for their friends." Bullseye 🎯

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

I am a grown ass adult but I still have these moments when I'm gazing outside into a falling snow and thinking, if only Aragorn were real because the world of men is falling and he'd be super helpful now. Let me just live in this fantasy until I drink this cup of tea, okay?

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Assume no one else will speak. Assume no one else will march. Assume no one else will fight. Assume it has to be you. That’s how we stop fascism.

One of our friends had been a fully remote federal worker and is now leaving the house at 4:45a four days a week to work a 4-day/10-hour schedule, with two hours of commuting, because his wife works Monday nights and he otherwise can no longer do dropoff/pickup of his elementary school-aged children

Very much agree, with the caveat that some people are beyond inviting in :) Well said, Kendra.

Putting medical debt back on your credit report. Letting banks charge ridiculous overdraft fees again. These are but a few examples of how Trump is fighting for the working class

This is just incredibly sad. A reminder that flu can be severe in even the healthiest. It took a whole team effort to get my 7 year old nephew (with needle phobia) his flu shot. Me hyping via video call, parents on hand hyping in person. He got his shot +a lollipop. We were all proud and grateful.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down... (IYKYK) 🌿🦊

This is incredible reporting and an important read. WIRED has been absolutely running circles around NYT and WaPo. I bought a subscription. They're going to need our support when Musk and Thiel try to sue them out of existence Gawker-style.

Costco is definitely the place to shop. Pass it on.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

It really says a lot about the state of the world when this is one of the least alarming headlines I've read all day.

sorry i've been so testy lately. it's just because of every single thing in the entire world

The Department Of Government Efficiency was given $7M for a weeks expenses. WOW. Y’all Are Getting Played. Bigly. rollcall.com/2025/02/04/w...

Many people have heard that Doug Ford “ripped up” the Starlink deal with El*n M*sk. Not many people have heard that the Starlink deal was back on mere hours after Doug’s blustery threat to rip it up. globalnews.ca/news/1099566... Flip Flop Ford strikes again. #OnPoli #CancelStarlink

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
