I’m not even going to dignify that with a reaction.

Like @chanda.blacksky.app says - Supergirl was good. “Is God Is” is now up on my watchlist…

This is HUGE win for tenants in MB we have been organizing for since at least 2020. West Broadway Tenants Committee & @r2hmb.bsky.social tireless work: holding Kinew to account, building ally relationships, debunking landlord myths, organizing tenants - all of it made this happen #movementwins2026

A call from Premier Wab Kinew’s office reduced Aidan Wilson to tears Monday after learning tenants of a West Broadway apartment no longer face hundreds of dollars in rent increases next month.

Protect the right to strike. Important rally to oppose bills C-39 and C-37 this Saturday 2pm at the MB Legislature

I like MMP for a certain kind of reading experience w/ a certain kind of book. Something appeals about both their disposability & evidence of past mass appeal. One of my fav 2026 reads was a ratty free library Lonesome Dove MMP. Excited for MMP finds: The Lottery (collect.), Dhalgren, Libra, Achebe

Manitoba tenant advocates want immediate government action on rent control www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The province is amending legislation to allow landlords to be penalized if they breach the confidentiality of tenants who break their lease by obtaining a domestic violence certificate.

The ear bug scene in Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan. I was in grade 2 I think.

Inspired by the many tenants who spoke so intelligently, bravely, & eloquently -with real fire!- about the lack of real rent protections at today’s MB Leg Committee Bill 13 hearing. Premier Kinew must keep his promise to end huge rent increases. Every month he delays more renters are made homeless.

Yes! That would be amazing.

National interest and such

West Broadway Tenants Committee and tenants in Wingpsan buildings call on the RTB to freeze rent in renoviction fight. Premier Kinew can’t blame the PCs for this - it’s his problem, his responsibility, and he made the promise to ‘strengthen rent control and end big rent hikes.’

Amazing turnout at Wab Kinew’s consistency office in solidarity with Winnipeg tenants facing renoviction by Wingspan.

Winnipeg! Show up in solidarity with tenants facing renoviction by Wingspan Property Dev. Friday Sept 25 - 565 Osborne at 12pm. Organized by West Broadway Tenants Committee.

Celebrating 20 years of advocacy by @r2hmb.bsky.social to end homelessness, support social housing, and protect tenants in Manitoba.

Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.

NEW: Do you live in Canada? Are you impacted by pro-landlord policies? Want to know if your MP is a landlord or invested in real estate in some way? I’ve released the 2026 version of my landlord MP database. Find out if your MP is a landlord now! www.readthemaple.com/mp-landlords/

Every time you assume good faith from people who have done nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt, you will lose. The project to remove Black people from any position of authority and leadership is an open secret. They’re gloating at your naivety.

I want us all to become more intolerant to bullies in our daily lives.

After years of tenant organizing & advocacy, MB is bringing more units into rent regulation (good!). Unfortunately, because they continue to stall the fix for unfair above-guideline rent increases, newly protected tenants could still face huge rent hikes www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

books can be about bad people. the characters are not your friends. the protagonist is not you.

Always a treat when my (now) home province shows up in fiction. From the crime-y 1970s vampire novel COFFIN MOON by @keithrosson.bsky.social (author of the manic, unhinged & brilliant Fever House/The Devil By Name).

Some great books on here (esp French, Abbott, Locke, Price, King, and ofc Cosby!). My own top 10 would add: Hawthorn & Child-K. Ridgway, and several books by authors we’ve lost: The Killing Circle-A. Pyper, Ghostman-R. Hobbs, and the final Parker book(s) by R. Stark.
