The only positive thing about OneBC is they give me ample content for teaching about Dis-, Mis-, and Mal- information. And their residential school denialism gets the kids all riled up.

By threatening to get rid of prison librarians, Canada is not going by the book www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Eliminating educational programs and the jobs of federal prison librarians hollows out potential rehabilitation services – not to mention Canada’s humanity

Celebrating 15 years of Incidental Comics! In 2011 was experimenting with color in my strips for the first time, inspired by the iconic Bob Dylan poster by Milton Glaser. This comic appears in my first book, THE SHAPE OF IDEAS.

This is a history lesson in why the incompetent drunkard and the brain dead pedophile shouldn’t be allowed to replace human judgment with AI.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

No taxes this year but we’ll force you move next year bc the tax burden for those in cop city will be exorbitant. Gotta love the needless militarization of cops that grew of of those south of us unloading their β€œobsolete” weapons after W’s war. Meanwhile the crime stats show serious crime is down.

Freedom to read can never be taken for granted. Even in Canada, a free country by world standards, books and magazines are banned.

From February 22–28, Freedom to Read Week asks all Canadians to think about and reaffirm our commitment to intellectual freedom.

I know this could have been done faster, but not with more love. I hope that is what reaches people.

More than 19,053 British Columbians have been killed since 2014, when fentanyl started being added to the unregulated drug supply.
This is the first time since 2020 that less than 2,000 people per were killed.
The death toll of this crisis is absolutely staggaring. Catestrophic. Horrific. Terrifying

Thankfully these are not books for keep students. It would not take long for that cover to be shreds with unread pages!

3.5% β€” A Small Number With HugeΒ Implications Just 3.5% of a population engaged in nonviolent resistance can change everything. 150 yrs worth of data show it would take, say, 12 million Americans committed to civil resistance to create real and lasting changeβ€”even the change of government. The data are real. This is doable.

It's easy to believe the world is full of hate, to feel overwhelmed and that change is impossible. But 150 yrs worth of data show it takes just 3.5% of a populationβ€”12 million Americansβ€”engaged in nonviolent civil resistance to create real changeβ€”even the fall of administrations. This is doable.
