The PDF is FREE. If you buy a print copy, $2 will support food security initiatives through the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre.

Please spread the word! 🍗

I'm 1 month into my 3-month asynchronous online course. I've tried 3 times to watch the video of this week's course content and have fallen asleep every time. 😴

Does not bode well for the remaining 8 weeks.

I want to learn—I'm just so exhausted.

I have, however, given up caring if my continuing to talk about COVID makes people feel bad.

My mother died of COVID complications this year. And one thing everyone told me was "I didn't realize COVID was still around/could do this" and it still makes me angry enough to spit teeth.

Can anyone recommend an academic audiobook that was well done? Looking for a good example of how to handle citations, footnotes, bibliography, etc. in audiobook format. Ideally an academic monograph. Please only recommend if you've read the audiobook and thought it was well done.

I didn't realize it's world mental health day.

I can't say it any better than Janis.

I know it's hard, but help is out there. It can take a few tries to get the help you need. Don't give up.

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of everyone who is struggling right now.

If the world feels heavy, know that you don't carry its weight alone.

If all you do today is exist, it's ok.

You are loved. You matter.

Your mental health matters.

And I'm so grateful you're here.

PM Carney announced that automatic tax filing is coming for people on fixed incomes! I made this video in March 2024, explaining why this is such an important poverty-fighting initiative. So many people are going to keep their housing and be able to feed their families because of this.

"The officer then asked Raghu for consent to search the car, the report said.

“I gave him consent because when you see a cop, you’re a little bit scared,” “Like, ‘Why are all these blue lights on me when I did nothing wrong?’”

Please start saying no to cops.

MAGA is so far in the throes of full-blown hysteria over autism that they're boycotting Tylenol. Meanwhile, American children are getting systemic organ damage from repeated COVID infections.

Long Covid is more prevalent in children in the US now than asthma. We are fucking destroying the next generations w/our behavior. (And adults.)

If you do care about resisting eugenics maybe start by not being the vector that disables a kid in RFK’s US. That is not too much to ask. It really isn’t.

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years?

A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
