The government shutdown is undermining the Office on Violence Against Women 🚨🚨🚨

More than 100 of their 120 employees have been furloughed, bringing their lifesaving work to a halt. This will have devastating impacts on women across the nation.

Gaza is starving, why do I not see more about this in my bluesky feed? Not in the trending tab at the top either. #FreePalestine #FeedPalestine email and call your representatives, or make noise in other ways. Canada is complicit in this. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

Why We Quit Spotify Enough is enough

Just when you think there couldn’t possibly be any more reasons to quit Spotify, the brutal news keeps coming

It’s always funny to me when I see upper middle class folk (mostly white) say they need to go do psychedelics in the boonies in order to learn β€œempathy” or something.
If you need to learn that then just go volunteer at a homeless shelter. I promise you’ll learn it for way cheaper.

OPINION: Council readies its most disgusting attack on the homeless yet This week's Market Squared is outraged that the message from council about Downtown Guelph is increasingly profit over people

β€œGoller and Klassen will fight to the death to protect trees or view corridors of an old heritage building, but they fold like cheap lawn chairs for the moneyed interests in their district when it comes to helping the homeless” - @adamadonaldson.bsky.social

A reminder that you can email foreign minister Melanie Joly and tell her to take action on genocide in Gaza, or at least condemn Israel's bombing of an aid ship. I emailed the other day. It wasn't an amazing email, it was 1 paragraph long but it was something. Anything! melanie.joly@parl.gc.ca

Chiefs to press Alberta premier to back down on separatist rhetoric Cold Lake First Nations Chief says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will have some questions to answer at a May 6 meeting with Treaty 6 chiefs

AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse-Nepinak with the best message to separatists:

β€œYou can take the dirt that maybe your ancestors brought with them when they came over here from other places but that’s the only piece of land you are going to take.”

I know I'm burning my vote for Prime Minister of Canada by crossing off all the names and writing "the KD Lang cover of Hallelujah is the only way forward" in sharpie underneath , but it's what I believe

Anyway that's my random thought today, which I'm sure there is much information and research on if I actually took the time to look into it. But instead I achieved my first thread on bluesky! Wow.

So also, can AI ever reach human levels of thought without having a life to think about?

That sparks memories, judgements etc which influence the direction of the conversation. Then there's the third layer of, sort of distracted, thought, which is just random things like "oh yah, i gotta clean the bathroom later" which can change the direction and/or effort of a conversation as well...

Random thought: can AI ever reach human levels of thought without having real relationships? When we are in conversation, we're not just thinking about the content of the convo, but there's that second layer of thought that's analysing how the interaction is going 🧡

Gaza-based photojournalist Fatma Hassona was the main subject of the film "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk." She was killed with her family this week in an Israeli airstrike, just a day after the film was selected to premiere at Cannes.
