🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Fuck, what now?

NEW: A couple days ago, Breakdown host Nate Pike announced that he was being court ordered to wipe the Alberta politics show from the web as part of a libel lawsuit from a well-connected Alberta businessman. This development should concern all journalists. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

The Public Health Agency of Canada says it has purchased an "initial supply" of 500,000 doses of GSK’s human vaccine against avian influenza. The vaccines will be targeted at "people who may be at increased risk of being exposed to the virus through animals infected with avian influenza."

The Snow Queen of The Hinterlands.

An important thing to remember re Trump and Zelenskyy is that in addition to everything else there's also the fact that his first impeachment was over trying to blackmail Zelenskyy into opening an investigation against his political rival in exchange for aid

Humbled that our project, The Life of the Mother, has been recognized with a George Polk award. It was truly inspiring to watch this team of women persevere through the most difficult reporting to tell the story of how abortion bans are costing lives. www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Hmm. Well. Good morning, then... We've got wild winds from an unusual direction today. My rental door is uhhhh...well, it's definitely a farm house door.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

LAST CALL: Digital nerdfighter art submissions, video voting, AND the Tiltify campaign close in TWO HOURS! #P4A2025 Submit art: projectforawesome.com/art Donate: projectforawesome.com/donate Vote: projectforawesome.com

Living in this farm house be like:

There is something doggedly hopeful about starting seeds. Little pots of earthen maybes. Maybe, spring will come and we'll plant fuzzy fronds of sprouted strawberry plants. Maybe, in the summer, we'll share the fruits planted in winter. Maybe, we'll still be here because we're here.

I'm so exhausted from the @projectforawesome.bsky.social but also so grateful for it--and especially grateful to the thousands of people who come together to make it happen every year. From chat mods to chat itself, from producers to perk designers ... SO MANY PEOPLE make the p4a awesome. Thank you.

THANK YOU to everyone who liked, donated, and shared during P4A 2025! We had so much fun and, most importantly, raised money for charities with our favorite people. You can get perks on Tiltify until 2/19 at noon EST! projectforawesome.com/donate #P4A2025

i have one more slot open if anybodys interested!

Posters. Stickers. Flyers. “Handbills” although lol nobody says handbills except in academic text. Marking the public space as the home of the public and not the property of the guys who bought up the buildings

When people ask how those without access to systems of power might combat the rising fascist tide — think of graffiti. The radical orgs of the 70s knew this. It’s visible, it sticks in the mind, it establishes the presence of the speaker not as an individual but as a representative of the collective

Biggest day 1 in the 18-year history of @projectforawesome.bsky.social. We've already raised $1,930,000 and we have 40 hours to go! projectforawesome.com/live

Does the moon look upon the mountain in the same manner it looks upon the wild hedgerows? Little bits of nature, earth, us, run wild. At times, you appear so near to me, in that cold sky; and yet, like the spring, the distance feels unending.

So what exactly is the Project for Awesome? Since 2007, my brother @hankgreen.bsky.social and many friends and online creators have come together to host an annual 48-hour livestream in support of great charities. Over the years, we've raised over $22,000,0000 for a huge variety of charities...

thank you, @hankgreen.bsky.social

Their time has come. Pirates of Saskatchewan rise up!

The allegations contained in former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos’ statement of claim are absolutely shocking. If these claims are true, this is the worst scandal and biggest cover-up in Alberta’s history. Today, the Premier must fire the Health Minister. /1 🧵

Increase awesome before Project for Awesome starts! Join us for a Pre-4A "call your representatives" session Friday at 11:30 ET/8:30 PT to demand an end to the foreign aid freeze. Then hang out with fellow #TBFighters & get your memes ready until #P4A2025 begins! calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0...

This video by @hankgreen.bsky.social covers why the Galilean moons are so amazing.

The Survivors Circle for Reproductive Justice has created a fund to assist First Nations, Inuit and Métis Survivors of forced or coerced sterilization. But to access up to $70,000, Survivors must apply by March 31. #TyeePresents #Sponsored

Today on the blog I wrote about how we keep telling the same, boring, wrong history over and over again, instead of doing more complex and interesting work, and why. Like, why are we talking about Magna Carta *ever* let alone in the Temple Church? going-medieval.com/2025/02/12/o...

Just in time, the @projectforawesome.bsky.social Lore Guide has been updated! sites.google.com/view/p4alore... #p4a2025

Hey Gang! The incredible people at @distributeaid.org are putting together kits providing desperately needed supplies for trans people across the country. Me and 19 others have bundled some outstanding games together to raise money for this incredibly necessary project! itch.io/b/2889/hrt-h...

“You can’t negotiate and end to the war without Ukraine, ya jagoff.”

European capitals need to get their act together. The United States is pressuring Ukraine into a settlement that preserves much of Russia’s power and rewards its imperial ambitions—all while pulling back from the European continent. 1/2

After Trump put out an executive order targeting gender identity, the public lost access to many Census Bureau data tables and research reports for days, raising concerns about the data's integrity. By @hansilowang.bsky.social

There are new allegations that the Minister of Health, Adriana LaGrange, was involved in dictating the price that AHS was to pay for multi-million-dollar contracts and ordered AHS to shut down and cover up its internal investigations. 🔽🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
