oh yeah, just like how our modern existence is just to train AI even if we didn’t ever opt in

why must apple intelligence and siri default have approval to learn from every single app on my phone—even if I have it turned off—and there’s no option to revoke that permission en masse 🙃

My friend Ahmed from G*za needs $400 USD to buy food and blankets for his family.

I’ve sent $50, and could use some help making up the rest. Please donate directly to his Paypal: www.paypal.com/donate/?host...

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

The Truth of Reconciliation | The Walrus The TRC report, released in 2015, laid out ninety-four clear Calls to Action. Ten years later, Indigenous writers reflect on what has and hasn’t been achieved

It was very special to work with six brilliant, thoughtful Indigenous writers — Michelle Good, Julian Brave NoiseCat, Eva Jewell, Janelle Lapointe, Anna McKenzie and Riley Yesno — on this series about truth and reconciliation, in print & online for @thewalrus.ca. thewalrus.ca/truth-and-re...

okay word for sure

me with also an edible kicking in rereading this a dozen times and trying to figure out what it means

“…the Canadian government has failed to shift the foundations of its economic system in a way that would truly make space for Indigenous self-determination. Instead, Indigenous people are told to be grateful that they have a seat at the table, with the menu already set.”

In 2015, Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued ninety-four Calls to Action for repairing the Crown’s relationship with Indigenous peoples. A decade later, most remain unfulfilled. Seven Indigenous writers reflect on the work still to be done: thewalrus.ca/truth-and-reconc...

A piece I wrote reflecting on the 10-year anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report, and the government’s strategic choice to (over)focus on economic development, is out now. You can find it in the November issue of The Walrus magazine or online thewalrus.ca/trc-economic/

I’m still feeling so honoured to have kicked off a lineup of such POWERHOUSE speakers. Seriously, legends!

And it’s really good practice to make the candidate “cry rivers” at the beginning of their campaign. Vote for leaders in touch with their emotions only. 🤪 @avilewis.ca #cdnpoli

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!"

Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

may I one day learn the limits of my luteal phase

Emily Lowan has just been elected leader of the B.C. Green Party with 61% of the votes.

Proud is an understatement. Progressives in BC now have political home, under the clear, bold vision of @emilylowan.bsky.social.

Moderate politics are not enough to stand up against the oligarchy. Her campaign shows that people are ready for a true leftist vision. The movement is growing! ⚡️🌿

a phone, in the ocean, surrounded by sharks.

ok I lost my phone and I'm running on empty and there are shaks. if people could chip in a few bucks, it would be a big help in sorting this out.

Approval on Ksi Lisims destroys climate credibility and violates Indigenous consent Ksi Lisims is not a low-carbon solution, nor is it leadership—it’s reckless, harmful and leaves British Columbians exposed to the costs of another project that is likely to strand, while private entit...

Once again, opposing nations are expected to carry the extreme burden of legal battles and police violence, while provincial leaders reward a singular treaty government for backing a gas export megaproject fully owned and controlled by U.S. corporate interests.

davidsuzuki.org/press/approv...

Several Indigenous nations have not consented, yet Ksi Lisims is approved under the banner of ‘economic reconciliation.’

By cherry-picking which Indigenous voices should be listened to, the government falls short on FPIC and sets the stage for inevitable conflict in the region.

“We have to “draw the line.” On one side, the billionaires; on the other, the rest of us. On one side, the deportation judges; on the other, the rest of us. On one side, the war profiteers and the climate destroyers; on the other, the rest of us.“

See you on the streets, this Saturday! #DrawTheLine
