@rachelgilmore.bsky.social you are absolutely killing it these days. Keep being scrappy!!

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop

Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

Lilly sniffing Yukon wildflowers (actually she’s sniffing per but we can pretend, right???)

They don’t care and don’t worry about cleaning the blood stains off their clothing- that’s someone else’s job.

The sad truth.

I loved those images of Indigenous leaders taking centre stage at the G7. But I would love it even more if this new government wasn’t trying to push through a Bill that would give way to much power to the federal government while stripping it from everyone else (First Nations included.)

Everything about this is horrifying. I wish it was just a sick-ass sci-fi story…

Anyone know if “protecting democracy,” human right etc. is on the agenda at the G7????

Hey USA! I’m proud of you! #nokings

Today in Boston.

Over a million people turned out.

Even the drone couldn't get it all.

NYTimes loses the plot again by writing on fashion of soldiers uniforms at Taco’s birthday parade.

Thanks for the update.

When we flew away -a novel of anne Frank before the diary

Current bedtime reading with my kiddos feels guttingly real right now. Israel is gleefully committing genocide while the world looks on. ICE agents are disappearing people. I’m safe in bed, not trained in resistance.

'Televised Slaughter': UK Doctor on the Devastation He Is Witnessing in Gaza Surgeon Tom Potokar in Khan Younis says he’s ‘sick and tired’ of describing the horror on the ground to international media while seeing no action from Western leaders.

"I am getting very sick & tired of having to go onto news programs because journalists aren't allowed in to point out what is happening here... this is a televised slaughter. History will not judge us kindly."

I’m about 1/4 of the way through David Copperfield, as I wanted to see how Barbara Kingsolver played off Dickens. I loved Demon Coperhead so much… but feeling less engaged in the original. I’m seeking encouragement here, or someone to tell me it’s ok to move on…

Writing from Canada… every day I miss pre-fascist USA a little more.

That is actually hilarious.

Poilievre Stop in Fish Plant Smells | Canadian Journalist Conservative Party of Canada election campaign stop in a fishing village in Newfoundland turns into a spectacle of party animosity towards media coverage.

So, here is an interesting piece to read, which happened in Newfoundland April 1,2025. Brought a bunch of thugs with him.

What does the end look like? Is there even such a thing?

This is what freedom looks like…. Apparently

If Trump Can Deport Mahmoud Khalil, Freedom of Speech Is Dead It’s illegal to deport people for political speech, but that’s exactly what ICE is trying to do to this Palestinian Columbia student.

I’ve been thinking about how they should be eating Chinese food on the couch, under a cozy blanket, half-watching Severance while folding tiny clothes, waiting for their baby to arrive. But instead, their family was ripped apart.

Is Tesla going to start making diesel vehicles in order to get their market share back? How does this mesh with “drill baby, drill”?

I wish I could watch PBS! (In Canada)

After driving 15 hours south with no reception I know more about the sun rising over the mountains than the unfolding shitshow of the daily news cycle. It’s so so good to take a break.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
