Canada did this too, and looks to be creating conditions for illegal incarceration again (Bill C9, if the feds decide that you speaking for Palestine is an ‘offence’, for example)

Canadian women wait up to 8x longer than men for life-saving surgeries; Doctors are paid LESS to operate on women.
Who do you think is going to do the ‘FREE WORK’ (millions of dollars’ worth of unpaid/volunteer/caregiving) done by women whose lives are being cut short?!

Life tip: If a spray bottle doesn't work and still has liquid in it, stick your finger over the nozzle and pump it a few times and it'll create a vacuum and start working again.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

The only reason we can’t jailbreak devices is because we agreed we wouldn’t.
Repeal the laws that stop our RIGHT TO REPAIR !

Weld the door shut, and we can get on with rebuilding.

They're not building a ballroom, not for $350 million. They're building a bunker in preparation for endless global warfare, as 3C of global warming threatens to halve the global GDP and kill billions. Vance wants it, too. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/its-not-a-ba...
