— Antonio Gramsci

I am so glad I’m not stoned right now

Highly recommend this training!

I *cannot* fucking stress this enough:

The threat of AI is *NOT* making movies for us, but the hundreds of jobs it will be able to easily eliminate from crew positions. VFX. Drone pilots. Color timing. Sound mixing. Clerical staff.

If we don't move to protect jobs NOW, they WILL go away forever.

Remember Elizabeth Holmes and her blood grift? She was defrauding investors, vamping and saying, "it's just around the corner, I promise!" That's exactly what the Artificial Generative Intelligence is. There is no credible evidence that it's coming and yet they're taking billions.

Stopping vaccine development is another example of "eugenics is everywhere."

Expecting survival of the fittest when one gets infectious disease and cancer is eugenics.

disrupt “A.i.” - by not fucking using it

Many women of color I know are taught their entire lives to work twice as hard but not get mad when they are still underpaid, under-promoted, under-recognized or had their ideas outright stolen. But many don't turn to conservatism in response.

Motherfucking wind farms…

No - I started working with Pete at the Old Trouts after the film was made, but I have seen it and think it is pure magic!

It’s a phenomenal film! Reach out if you have specific names or questions you want to confirm - I work with Pete Balkwill who is on that team

Regardless of today's decision in the Hockey Canada trial, these are agreed upon facts :

- There were two beds in the room and she was the only person on the floor.

- The players stopped at one point to document her saying she was okay.

- Hockey Canada believed her and paid her a settlement.

Every day, I am reminded that I live in a society that will believe absolutely anything about a woman to ignore the obvious about men.

A good rule of thumb is to try and give more money to creators and less to middle man tech bros. Sign up on the website or buy direct instead of through an app store or ordering from some aggregating monolith. Read the newsletter instead of relying on algorithms. Call the spot instead of door dash.

Plea for ppl to stop treating Gen AI like it’s Zoltar the Fortune Teller and can make all our dreams come true. Get a grip. Read a damn book. Stop giving goo goo eyes to the climate-destroying plagiarism machine. It’s not your buddy

BREAKING NEWS. Alberta Court of King’s Bench grants injunction preventing Alberta Government from banning gender-affirmative care for minors citing “irreparable harm will be caused if the Ban comes into force.”

A victory for human rights and trans youth! 🏳️‍⚧️

Nope, nope, nope. #America #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli

The major AI industry leaders stood next to Donald Trump at his inauguration. They talk about replacing artists and writers and creatives as a feature, not a bug. AI is deeply conservative and it astonishes me that people who are opposed to the conservative project would rely on it so carelessly

"Your punishment is the person you will become."

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020

once again I must tap my own sign

THEN FUCKING PERISH YOU ASSHOLES OH MY GOD I AM OVER IT

It’s comforting stepping out of the gaslighting where Canadian media are telling us the public torture of a rape victim is actually a good thing hockey fans— to women on TikTok lighting Hockey Canada jerseys on fire and putting hexes on the defence team.

i need yall to stop thinking that shitty people who do shitty things must be doing them because they’re being blackmailed. almost always, they do the shitty things simply because they’re shitty people.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down
