Trying to find a kind and patient way to explain to friend and family that I don't ever want to see that AI garbage ever. Most of my terminally online friends already know but I don't really know how to explain to my normie loved ones that what they sent me is an affront to life itself

We started DULF because we knew nobody was coming to save us, so we had to save ourselves. It worked. But right wing politicians made themselves famous off scapegoating us. The government de-funded us. The cops raided us. But our day in court is here. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

In a sane world the BCNDP would court him to run for them and scale up the DULF model into a province-wide service. Instead, they're trying to send him and Erys to jail. What a waste of time, money, and freedom.

I've had the honour of working with Jeremy in harm reduction roles before DULF and he is among the most compassionate, intelligent and wise people in the field. He cares deeply about the people he serves and knows how to act on that care

> Read about how DULF's co-founders discussed their compassion club with the VPD. VPD reps offered their support for the project. Then the VPD abruptly raided the compassion club and arrested its co-founders:

I am entering Week 3 of having "Barrett's Privateers" by Stan Rogers stuck in my head, and watching Toronto take heavy casualties while losing to a group of Mariners from the U.S., well it's not helping matters

The Province is speeding the wrong direction down a one-way street. Making access to driving easier and cheaper while stripping away safety measures in the name of "efficiencies". This is the opposite of Vision Zero. www.biv.com/news/comment...
