Now that there's pinned posts, I figure i should introduce myself.

Most call me Doc, or Googly Doc. I'm a freelance RPG writer, humourist, voice actor, podcaster, novelist, public speaker, and TTRPG GM.

I am also a neurodivergent omnisexual progressive humanist who is quick on the block trigger.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

According to Pollievre, treason and insurrection shouldn't be punished.

I hope he remembers that if Canada is stupid enough to put Conservatives into power so they can implement Project 2025 here and sell us to Trump.

And we know the percentage of "Canadians" willing to sell out Canada so they can have their bigotry, hate, and cruelty go mainstream.

“Trump also wants Canada to join his ‘Golden Dome’ missile defence system for a cost of US$71 billion.”

A majority of Canadians oppose the idea as part of any trade agreement.

Yup. Too many conservatives in charge of too many provincial governments, right now for it to be possible.

Pat @pat112.bsky.social · 18h

That would be the ideal situation but that would require

" the House of Commons, the Senate, and at least seven provincial legislatures must pass a resolution, with the seven provinces collectively representing at least 50% of Canada's population"

Get rid of the notwithstanding clause altogether. Conservative politicians just use it to trample on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on a whim.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire
