I was at MISTI-Con, I played quidditch and water polo, I am an archivist, and I was at the U of S. That should about cover the people who need to know where they know me.

Ohhh mannnn. I try not to post things I haven't seen the original of. But this is too silly if true (just like their app excuse).

Yay, 2 out of 3 Canadian football national championships are completed with Saskatchewan wins.

Let's go U of S Huskies next weekend so we can get 3 of 3!

These are prisons.

The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here.

This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

"Protesters are expected to absorb violence but never inflict it—to function as shock absorbers to be acted upon, whose sympathetic value is nullified by any deviation from that standard ... under capitalism, 'peace' is the maintenance of violence on the state’s terms."
"If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because 'violence' is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as 'peaceful' are, in reality, quite violent."

May Palestinians have a moment to breathe, gather, mourn, rest, and live.

A reminder for the rest of us. Korea has been under ceasefire for 70 years, technically still at war, and still occupied by the U.S. Empire.
We are not yet free. I wish more for Korea.

I wish more for Palestine, too.

I know this is a joke. But what specifically would you do if you got a surprise "grandma" money or care package in the mail? Doesn't have to be from your actual grandma but like, the idea of the surprise cash or care.

What's in your ideal care package? What's in the realistic one?

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans just shut down the government to push their extreme agenda. They’d rather strip Medicaid, eliminate SNAP benefits, and close rural hospitals than keep our government open.

It’s appalling.

England played better today, but it still seemed like some great rugby from Canada. Especially after Apps got on the field -- way to bring the energy!

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Apparently one of my favourite flowers will come back as a volunteer. I had no idea, and without the climate and zone change creating a longer growing season here, I may have never have discovered this.

It doesn't belong with the potatoes but it makes me happy. Way to go, flower!

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.
