If you love cannibalism books and medical science and research and anthropology you might really enjoy Deadly Feasts. It is about linking cannibalism to prion diseases and the competitiveness of science.

I met them through a mutual you and I have and they seemed really cool. I haven’t read their stuff but after a talk with them about books and writing I would consider it now.

Pierre Poilievre is misleading the public about refugee healthcare
YouTube video by The Breach Pierre Poilievre is misleading the public about refugee healthcare

Pierre Poilievre says refugee claimants are undermining Canada’s health care systemβ€”but it couldn’t be further from the truth.

@desmondcole.bsky.social fact checks his misinformation and explains how blaming the most vulnerable distracts us from fighting for good health care for all.

Just an add on. The American Plastic Surgery announcement came without ANY consultation with membership and the actual physicians who work with trans patients most of whom highly disagree with the statement.

Kansas Secretly Spent Years Making a List of Trans Residents. Today, the State is Taking Their IDs. An investigation from Transitics has revealed that, under a Democratic governor, Kansas built a list of the state's trans people. Now, Republicans are weaponizing it to revoke their IDs.

Without the right to privacy, trans rights β€” and most other fundamental human rights β€” cannot exist.

An abstract digital art piece with circles and ovals of various sizes inside circles inside circles. Kind of like gobstoppers cut in half is what someone said. Or like a slide under a microscope. Colours are green, pink, purple, blue, grey, yellow, orange, red.

Added yellow triangle outlines in the blank spaces around the circles. Makes it look busier but also more like a tile inlay on a floor. I think.

Which do you like more. The fun thing about Procreate Pocket is the layers so you can experiment with adding more things or return to without.

Mark Carney and Canada’s premiers are trying to buy off Indigenous resistance
YouTube video by The Breach Mark Carney and Canada’s premiers are trying to buy off Indigenous resistance

Mark Carney and the premiers are offering ownership stakes to Indigenous communities to make mining and oil projects more attractive.

@janellelapointe.bsky.social explains that it’s just modern-day beads and trinkets to buy off resistance to destructive resource projects.

2026 was the year that we took our power back from the billionaires & supremacists. The year that we rediscovered the practice of revolutionary & radical love. That we stopped trying to punish ourselves into being better people. 2026 was the year we embraced the end so we could find the beginning.
