New story up on the site!

The aurora is one of my favourite things, I'm so glad folks all over got to experience it!

This is a story I wrote about aurora, and the deep northern winters, and community.

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for reading!

A debt of gratitude owed to @anhedoniaoakley.bsky.social for bringing this issue to public attention.

There are so many bad decisions made by the federal govt around Canadian Disability Benefit and they keep compounding rather than solving them.

Carney rode into power claiming nation-building project of pipelines & ports & profit for corporations.

Canada-Alberta pipeline MOU today proves what nation-building on these lands always is - devastating colonial extraction on Indigenous lands without Indigenous consent

No consent, no pipelines!

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

We're poor and disabled, and are currently using a tarp for a roof, in the Yukon winter.

If anyone can donate to Storm’s cause — a literal roof over their and their partner’s heads — please do, and please share Storm’s post around. They’ve been struggling hard far too long already.
If anyone has a buck or two they could spare to help us, it would be much appreciated!

Even if we can't get a proper roof, if it only gets us a replacement tarp for next year, it helps immensely, and we appreciate it so much.

Well, winter is well and truly here (hit the minus teens), & we just have to hope the roof-tarp holds up until spring; 2" of ice on it is wild.

Down to the last option for help, & expecting a "no"; we're poor & disabled in canada, there's no help.

We need about $3000 for tin by spring.

Before the genocide in Gaza, the UN called the ongoing famine in Afghanistan "the largest humanitarian crisis in the world". Parents buy their children prescription sleeping meds to keep them unconscious through the pain of hunger because they can afford that but not food.
before we re-litigate the Afghan withdrawal, and subsequent relocation efforts

before people who don't know what the fuck they talking about offer hot takes,

before using a shooting as a hook for talking points,

i'd like everyone to take a deep breath

and then shut the fuck up

The absolutely awesome Canadian author, Robert J. Sawyer has written quite a few Indigenous characters into his books. He has even waxed philosophical about Indigenous relationships to land without ever needing to present himself as Indigenous. (apihtawikosisan.com/2012/01/ques...)

Counterpoint:

Character limit, & more accurate. Ppl from usa aren't from "america", they're from usa.

Also, it's funny. Like, it's good for a chuckle, & we need that these days.

Poking fun at that violent, imperialist, white supremacist shithole state is necessary in this world we live in today.
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh
