Even if you didn’t intend to hurt people, even if you didn’t have control over it, why not feel sorry that people were hurt? I think I am fundamentally confused by this allergy to empathizing enough to want to apologize and say I’m sorry you were hurt

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

it’s so corny and the product placements are so jarring?? though I did cry at the end of tonight’s episode…

An image in muted colours showing vague aesthetic animated illustrations of a light-brown-skinned man with curly hair, Black woman with a short afro, and red-headed white woman sitting in various poses on, respectively, a reclined chair, a bench, and a stool, in front of and facing an abstract geometrical image, as if considering it and mid-discussion about it.

The People's Consultation on AI launched today! Whether you have in-depth expertise in AI issues, or don't consider yourself an "expert" but have firsthand experience with AI or its impacts and want to have your say, this is for you. Participate by March 15, 2026: www.peoplesaiconsultation.ca

Something I hope happens more in the discourse about AI-enabled harms and violence is disrupting the notion that we need AI at all, or that using AI is inevitable. Part of the problem is the overbroad use of the term that has rendered it meaningless/mystified.

every day is a mix of parenting-related exhaustion and guilt that I get to experience such mundane reality of life as the world crumbles and fascism takes over

As I watched my strict mom and dad soften as grandparents, I was reminded that the world does not treat parents gently My parents’ gift of intergenerational childcare for my daughter taught me that people have the capacity to change – but that they need to be freed to be their full selves

Not sure if anyone reads my updates (skeets?) anymore, but here is an essay I wrote recently for @theglobeandmail.com on watching my (once strict) parents becoming gentle grandparents & what I learned from it:

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

No words.

I guess we are just openly being eugenicist now, cool!

Indian Act's ‘second-generation cut-off’ poses an existential threat to treaty people in Canada Thanks to the Indian Act’s ‘second-generation cut-off,’ First Nations people face a baffling and offensive equation when it comes to their status rights.

The "second-generation cut off" has been described as a genocide “in paper form;" as "an evil that threatens our very existence;" as an act of "retaliation;" as discrimination, and, as assimilation. Yet it remains a part of Canadian law. Why?

Excerpt from Columbia's agreement/bribe to the Trump Regime: 20. Columbia will uphold its commitment to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by providing safe and fair opportunities for women including single-sex housing for women who request such housing and all-female sports, locker rooms, and showering facilities.

Buried in Columbia's agreement/bribe with the Trump regime (and not reported by the news) is a section which agrees to segregate trans women from women's housing, sports, and bathrooms. Functionally, trans women are no longer welcome at Columbia University.

The Emerging Problem of "AI Psychosis" AI may be fueling psychotic delusions in a phenomenon known as "AI psychosis" or "ChatGPT psychosis." New research explains the risks.

I keep reading stories like this and then want to scream like the one clip I watched where someone just says, what happened to just having a think?!

85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.

I think this is the most horrifying post I have ever read.

If you have time I’d recommend! There’s a really great pizza place, and lots of other cute coffee shops and restaurants

Nooo I’m back now!! Missed you by a week 😭

Montreal in the summer is truly glorious, and Villeray feels like what the Plateau was 20 years ago?

It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)

Canada currently has almost 40,000 climate refugees, and it's only June.

Manitoba: 18,000
Saskatchewan: 15,000

Alberta: 2,700

(~38,000, and growing daily)

Update — It’s been 15 hours since the Freedom Flotilla Coalition last saw or heard from their friends on board the Gaza Aid Flotilla.

They have not been allowed any contact with them.

Their exact statuses are not known.
