I just like how people say “you'll become more conservative as you get older” basically admitting it's a degenerative condition.

We’ve been gaslit into believing "Personal Responsibility" is the answer to systemic collapse. You can’t "recycle" your way out of corporate pollution, and you can’t "budget" your way out of a housing market owned by hedge funds.

1st 5 months of 2026, calls for suspected opioid poisonings increased by 20% in Thunder Bay & 199% in Hamilton from January to May compared to the same period last year. Non-fatal OD calls rose by almost 115% in Toronto; Ottawa a 52% increase

We can’t even explain to you how bad everything has been. Workers are responding to ODs constantly outside closed safe injection sites!!!! People ODing right out on the sidewalk. The toxic drugs, the heat, peoples medication all create dangers for ppl. Many ppl at once going down

gen ai could disappear overnight and not only would it not do damage but it would actually be a massive positive for the entire world

[Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation @OKWildlifeDept]

every person is fighting an inner battle you don’t about, except for us. we are clearly complaining about people who pick up baby wildlife

everyone knows this

@kananaskinyeti @jsessf01 Thanks, but also no thanks!! 🤣 Being in charge of education isn’t on my current bingo card! 😷 😷 🤣

libraries literally aren't just places to obtain books for free. they're some of the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without the expectation of spending money.

Just a friendly reminder:

Minimum wage exists because they would pay you less if they could

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.

Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.

you can make a little oasis, right where you are. And it matters

Anthony Bourdain died eight years ago today.

The most important “data centres” to invest in will always be public schools.

Only in a corporate media landscape does theft of food become a crisis, instead of people’s inability to afford food

[Bev 🇨🇦 @Garnet_2203]

Ontario's education unions have officially served notice to bargain.
They're asking for smaller class sizes, more special education supports, and an end to mandatory e-learning.
And this explains exactly why Doug Ford is shutting down Queen's Park for the summer until October.
We've seen this before.
When it comes to education, Ford's government has a history of fighting teachers instead of fixing classrooms. Larger class sizes. Fewer supports. Labour disputes. Constant battles with the people educating our children.
Teachers aren't asking for luxuries. They're asking for the resources needed to help students succeed.
Doug Ford has failed teachers. He has failed parents. He has failed students.
If Ontario is heading toward another work-to-rule campaign or labour unrest this fall, nobody should be surprised. The warning signs are already there.
Instead of showing leadership and investing in public education, this government appears content to disappear until October and hope the problems go away.

The only union Doug Ford supports is the police unions.

Ontario's children deserve better.

Socialism doesn’t work because as soon as a state turns socialist they randomly get invaded and bombed

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

Ford works for 29.5 days.

The same guy who complains about teachers getting the summers off.

Cool, cool.

Nothing to see here.
