Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat, laying on his back and facing the camera. He overall looks as flat as he can be for his size. He presses his head into the bed he is lying on, and closes one eye. His canine teeth poke out from behind his cheeks. His front paws are tucked closely towards his chest.

Why is the #misinformation spreading that Canada is crime infested?
Because scared people vote for strongmen and they want the false narrative to be baked in before the election.
We need to counter this now before itβs baked in.

The cover of Sarah Leavitt's book, "Something, Not Nothing." Along with the title and author's name, the cover features an illustration of wilting flowers, two people laying beside one another with gentle, loving smiles on their faces, and behind them, what looks like a crocodile's head with sharp teeth, lurking in the shadows.
In April 2020, Sarahβs partner of 22 years, Domino, received #medicalassistanceindying . Shortly after her partnerβs death, Sarah began drawing again. The result is a beautiful, impressionist rendering of her journey of #loss and bereavement in the two years that followed Dominoβs death.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes β so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

Spent a small chunk of yesterday deleting all my posts from my Xitter profile and making sure it's locked up. I'm not deleting the account out of fear of bots claiming the name and impersonating me, but I'm not going back.
Did the same for my employers. We all feel better now.
