Privatization yet again proves its foundational principle — adding a profit motive cannot provide better service for less money because the profit will eat up more than any potential efficiencies. Privatization ALWAYS results in less & worse service for massively higher costs.

Alongside tax breaks to corporate landlords and private jet owners, Carney’s Liberals have repeatedly violated the constitutionally-protected right to strike when workers stood up for liveable wages and safe working conditions.

hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

And to be fair, I think Bluesky always comes across as DOOM because it's full of people who go 'Okay let's game out some of the worst case scenarios; oh wow holy shit those are bad so let's work to prevent those.' It can just come across as full doom because hey it's skeets and what is nuance.

I've read antifeminist and conservative works to write my essays. They were tediously repetitive, poorly written, and insufferably smug, utterly sure in the infallibility of their own worldview as axiomatic. Mocking the idea that people held different views was often passed off as an argument.

Happy #MacroMonday / #MothMonday. This amazing little moth is the Granitose Fern Moth, Callopistria granitosa.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

We need to start treating these glasses with absolute disgust. Start screaming ‘pervert’ at anyone wearing them, make them so socially unacceptable that the product crashes and burns.

Add "disabled neurodiverse person needing to calculate exactly how to use the right language to the person at the right layer of authority when saying 'ouch that ableist exclusion hurt, I'm sorry my protests of pain are uncomfortable for others to hear, please don't kick me off the team for it'"

Peachy skies above a golden iceberg with three peaks, which looks a little like a mini mountain range. There are little bubbles visible inside, catching the light.

A little Icelandic mountain range (well, actually just a close-up abstract of an iceberg at sunset). My entry for this week's #ShareMondays2026

Hi - what’s your timeframe? I might be interested (though I’ve never done a beta-read before.)

Black‑and‑white photograph of a cat walking among the legs of undressed mannequins, its front paws resting on a typical 1920s-30s plaster mannequin head.

A single small bird perches on the thin stems of a low shrubby willow against the blurred backdrop of a snowy wetland. Its belly is toward us so we see mostly the underside which is whitish in centre with buff sides, the light grey underside of the tail and a distinct black cap and black throat like two triangles that meet at the tips where the beak is, white triangles extending out across the cheeks between the two black patches. It has a small pointy black bill and a laser focussed black eye.

Two small birds perch on the thin stems of a low shrubby dwarf birch in a snowy wetland area, while a third launches itself from centre toward the right, its wings extended downward as it flaps. The wings are grey and white, undersides whitish to buff and heads have a distinct black cap and black throat like two triangles that meet at the tips where the beak is, white triangles extending out across the cheeks between the two black patches. Farther back there are more bits of dwarf birch and willow with a dark mixed wood farther back still.

We've fed Chickadees on some cold days + they've become very bold: approaching us very keenly to beg for more food. This little bunch actually mobbed me when I was out in the bush to get firewood a few days ago-swooping close enough to land on me #birds #nature #Alberta #Canada 🌿📷 #BorealForest

A black cat is sitting in a square thredup box, with tissue paper inside she looks like a gift 🖤

Isn't this @thredup.com box just the perfect size! Milky tried at least three different boxes for this #kittyboxsunday, and this one is the winner!

Do you remember the pattern or designer name? Thanks!

Welcome! Have you found the QuiltSky feed yet?

Absolutely gorgeous!

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

It’s gorgeous! Do you have a link to the pattern?

Supurrrvising!

Amazing work!

Love the crumb hearts!
