Granules of the dried resin olibanum/frankincense

Today's #fragrance is from Olibanum, a niche French brand.

Their line is all about simplicity blended with their star ingredient: olibanum! Olibanum is a tree resin from the Boswellia genus of trees. It's silky & slightly citric, and has been used for millennia. You might know it as frankincense.

Harper endorses Polievre for PM

Poilievre said he would follow in Harper's footsteps. "Always and everywhere he was solid, competent, honest, decent, down to earth"

In 2015, The Tyee called Harper a Serial Abuser of Power and documented 70 of his abuses

You guys, they're not stupid

They're doing propaganda

When they lie through their teeth, they are doing propaganda

Do you think the people behind Big Brother in 1984 were stupid? Big Brother says lots of nonsensical shit.

It's called

The question you should be asking yourself isn't "why are stupid people in charge?" It's "who is susceptible to this messaging and why is it working?"

KINGSTON ROAD’S PROPHET OF JUSTICE Standing Up to Genocide in Gaza

The mass execution of paramedics by the Israeli army has been barely mentioned in the media.
Students who speak up against the genocide have been targeted.
But there are those who shine a light.
My latest reflection on Ted Schmidt, the Kingston Rd. prophet.

There are too many, especially in Alberta, who think they do. Much as I saw when Ford first got elected, ppl have swallowed the lie that they’re paying for slackers and believe they’ll never need the systems and services they vote to cut. And then they’re shocked when they do, in fact, need those.

I could not agree more. One of the biggest challenges in BC is the health authorities and navigating between them. The BC NDP have been working to address some of the biggest issues but goodness it’s not great yet.

“We must do what they fear--tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most power weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it.”
— Alexei Navalny

To think this is applicable today, to us in the USA is simply unimaginable.

This is a way better idea. The best, in fact.

every person online who thinks the tariffs are a good idea are people who are trying to figure out how to take their first step as a huamn being

We wanted to reshare this with more details—please help spread the word! This is getting out of hand—they just can’t accept a loss.

Go Mark! So glad you’re running again.

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Same! I had no idea!

Under Fascism, the state makes sweeping changes (sold as an attack on waste, fraud, and abuse) in the name of efficiency…and “the trains will run on time!”

Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.

A statement about how Katy brand told a producer that she believed Russell brand was an abuser but producer didn’t care

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

The police said the preliminary investigation indicates the marijuana was contaminated with fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that can be lethal even in small amounts.

Police in Rhode Island are saying someone died from fentanyl-laced cannabis based on preliminary drug testing done by the police, and I just want people to remember law enforcement is not qualified to perform drug testing or determine cause of death. It helps nobody to create unfounded drug panics.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
