Public Health To Drop ‘Health’ And ‘Public’

Writing my responses was cathartic. I bet it will be a hoot reading the responses.

CANADIANS! Our government is once again trying to convince us AI is good, actually, and they have a whole big survey about how we can use AI. I pretty much just said "we can't until we can do it without mass theft and poisoning the environment" over and over again, and you can too

After spending the weekend rereading Canadian and BC Human Rights laws and precedent, I'm on the hunt for a Human Rights Lawyer to challenge my sport competition ban. Pro Bono would be amazing. I have some leads but any other recs for BC lawyers would be appreciated

We Have to Move "There are living, breathing people all around you who need your sense of decency to be made material. Don’t give up on them, or on you."

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

Ontario peeps: Starting Monday, you can get your Covid booster for free. Just sign up at your local pharmacy—I made my appointment online, super easy. Protect yourself and your peeps from a virus that causes long-term damage to your system every time you get it! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, DANG IT

This thread seems like excellent promotional material for the horror track!

Gather thee round.

"2025 Winners Announcement" with Ignyte Awards logo overlayed on artwork by Nilah Magruder featuring a young Black knight in profile, kneeling with gloved hands on the hilt of a sword surrounded by orange flames. An eclipsing sun is in the background, giving the character a purple halo.

Oh, hello

I made this same point internally in Gov: “since when is it okay for us to use stolen goods?” (I also took a dig at land theft over centuries of colonialism)

For at least the past 15 years, my colleagues in academia have grappled with angry letters to university officials for doing their jobs. They have weathered campaigns for their firing. They have contended with an internet army obsessed with doxxing them, their parents, their kids. I’ve been contacted by the F.B.I. more than once in my career. Not because I hold any important state secrets or know a biker gang but because one of my colleagues has lived with so much sustained harassment from right-wing “activists” that it has become a matter of federal concern. Watch lists (one of which was constructed by Kirk’s organization) do not distinguish between public intellectuals at wealthy enclaves and hoi polloi who teach popular classes at cash-strapped schools. In either case, an army of trained provocateurs stands ready to destroy their lives to prove their bona fides as conservative activists.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Spread Me by @sarahgailey.bsky.social delivered all the promised horniness and squick. I feel they took the concept of “monsterfucking” as a challenge. Highly enjoyable and unnerving! Also what a great title!

I managed to include myself in an ethics discussion wherein I will ask Why are you pushing such an unethical tool when you know its downsides? Are you just going to keep not talking about it?

Really enjoyed new game @prosperwithdragons.bsky.social Turns out our biggest obstacle to recruiting dragon friends is not the disasters but ourselves. Weird! Love the art, concept, and the wild look in our eyes as we flip the card hoping an EF5 tornado spares our beautiful city.

Past Erin was also seen eating the good snacks that were specifically for today

Send them to @derekkunsken.bsky.social and we can also see if he is prepared

🧵I’m putting the MRM contract ordeal behind me to focus on making more art, but I just had 1 more thing to say related to this. Throughout the past several months many writers have reached out to say things like, “I wanted to push back, but I’m a nobody” or “my piece was just a little poem.” 1/5

KATE! NONE OF HIS VOTERS CAN SPELL POLIEFVRE

The Politics of Humiliation The politics of humiliation has moved to the center of the reactionary project under Trump II.

This is a fantastic piece on how central the politics of humiliation are to understanding Trump and the MAGA movement.

The right is currently engaged in an all-hands-on-deck effort to *publicly humiliate* everyone who they dislike or assumes dislikes them.

As Ruth Wilson Gilmore noted, "[Karl] Marx observed that tax struggle is the oldest form of class struggle."

Given the "Big Beautiful Bill," it might be useful for some of us to become more familiar with tax policy.

Here's a thread about U.S. tax policy and politics.

Oh, well if it’s made of cartilage, there are a few more possible locations I could check
