like centuries of widespread aggressive demonization of class conscious philosophies such as communism and socialism for example

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

Maybe the groups of people fascists want to kill the most should be the groups of people Democrats defend the most instead of the exact opposite like how they do now

The attached pdf is for Canadians preparing to resist US invasion. I'm retired RCMP and Canadian Army Reservist. French copy to be posted too.

Yay! D! I love you Wakan, but I missed D too.

"More and more evidence is accumulating that [COVID-19] damages our immune system, making us more vulnerable to future infections."

Wear a mask, clean the air, wash your hands.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

In BC, Canada, this has been allowed for years. Mostly they prescribe refills for meds that you are already on, but will also prescribe certain requested meds, such as birth control. It eases the need for drs, clinics, & urgent care centers, allowing them to focus on more complex or urgent cases.

Hey just fyi, we may export a lot of heavy crude but we import a lot of light sweet and we don't have enough refineries in Canada for all the fossil fuels we produce to provide for all Canadians.

I'm all for a concerted switch to renewables but freezing people in the winter is not the way to go.

Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favourite authors. The Lions of Al-Rassan is my favourite of his books. I went to a reading of a new novel and brought my copy of Lions for him to sign.

Only for *him* to discover that I had bought a signed copy.

Reader, I died.

The climate crisis is also playing a role. When droughts, floods, & rising temperatures play havoc w/ coffee, cocoa, wheat, rice, corn, olives, etc you get shortages - & it's only going to get worse. Richer nations who can pay + for food will hurt less, but food inflation will still cause pain.

I'm $200 for a 1 bedroom apt shared by 5 people on the ground floor above a stairwell that people peed in at night years old.

Sothfastly thou art a wondirful wellespring of mirth and wordplaye!

Now this is a news story of a province going the right direction.

Oof yeah. It's fine for work but at home it can go the hell away. I fought to remove it from my partner's computer but it keeps sneaking back and stealing all his files and I have to go in and force onedrive to give them back to his computer

Granny Weatherwax has experience being tempted w/ magic & power. As a girl she crossed into Faerie. She understands temptation & knows full well that she wouldn't be able to withstand the temptation to do good with it, leading to evil. She fights this fight w/herself everyday. (Lords & Ladies)

Happened to me. I had an auth app on my phone (that I chose over a text or email as my auth method) and then in Sept it stopped sending auth requests but won't let me log in with just my password.

I'm pretty choked and tried all the suggestions for fixing w/no luck. Pls post if you find a solution!

My answer was "Asthma". Just wasn't diagnosed until I was 40 (well before covid arrived.)

I LOVE Firefly and was one of the contingent fighting to get Fox to do a 2nd season.

Of course in 2002 we didn't really have any idea about anybody's politics or behaviour, so Baldwin's & Whedon's misbehavin' slid under the radar for most.

I think the Train Job was the best series premier ever.

Friday the 13th isn't so unlucky after all!

For us Canadians, anyway...

It's more like my sibs and I were practically feral children so I knew full well we were way more capable and responsible than the kids described in LoF. I don't think I caught it as a metaphor, I thought he was talking about himself and his peers and what they would act like on a desert island.

Lord of the Flies made me so angry I refused to finish it, despite it being assigned. As oldest child of a large family w/working parents, I knew in my bones that LoF wasn't the result of a shipwreck involving any kids I knew. I thought it was deeply insulting to kids & said more about Englishmen.

Sure. It took 40 years for my winter cough to get diagnosed as asthma triggered by allergies. But I only developed a chest infection from the whole situation once.

While this is certainly a thing, covid is a much bigger one. (And hey, masking has also helped with my allergy triggers.)

Waving at the 30% of my colleagues who have had pneumonia after having covid weeks or months previously...

I can minimize their chance of infection within the office (strategically placed air purifiers) but the purifiers can't beat the lack of masks on buses and planes...

tbh I'm Canadian and I still just glossed over the statement like it was the usual bilge spilled by Trump (ie stupid & uninformed) and I had to read it a second time before I realized why people were pissed off. I read it as tho he had no idea what he was saying and you read it like it was a threat

Also One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

My brother was in the ICU 2 weeks ago. They insisted that we carefully wash our hands when we entered the unit.

I was there for a week and I was the only person to ever wear a mask of any kind, despite my brother having a collapsed lung ie: a respiratory infection would be very bad.
