It's National Lie Down For A Bit Day

PM Carney just said 🇨🇦 is prepared to wait until Trump is OUT OF OFFICE rather than accept a bad trade deal. Think about how much has changed. A year ago, they thought they could bully 🇨🇦 into submission. Now we're ready to hold out as long as possible.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

This guy is talking about literature and science?!

Many of Charleston's roads, buildings, docks, and infrastructure were built or maintained by enslaved artisans and laborers. Their work shaped the city, yet their names were forgotten—omitted, or never known. The badge system remained in force until slavery ended in 1865. (cont)

Montreal police might start wearing body cameras within the next year, but the public will likely never see the recordings. What’s the point? Surveillance, critics say. zurl.co/fc1ej

On October 21, 1976 NY Mayor Abe Beame placed this letter in a Staten Island facility time capsule. NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani opened it fifty years later. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

You guys in the US need international election supervisors like they do for super unstable backwoods countries. Ok. You ARE a super unstable backwoods country bec of your morally unstable GOP.

40 years ago: Little Richard announces that he used to do so much cocaine 'you could have driven a limousine up my nose.' from "Little Richard is a Reformed Man," by Robin Smith; Record Mirror, 26 October 1986

I figured last federal election PP spent so much time and money criss-crossing BC because they needed another Conservative province to open the constitution. It had Harper’s fingerprints all over it. Also Mike Roman (former IDU inner circle and indicted for US fake electors scheme) was in town too.

make stuff. even if it sucks. go draw or write something even if it completely fucking sucks just do it and keep doing it

For 25 years, @greenparty.org.uk has been campaigning for car-free zones, cleaner air, and safer neighbourhoods for Londoners. Now in 2026, Labour is finally getting on board with major pedestrianisation projects. #OxfordStreet #LondonGreens #Pedestrianisation #CarFree

In the midst of a BC election with not much discussion about the climate, Vancouver writer @johnvaillant.bsky.social wrote a scorching opinion piece in the NYT about how fire behaviour is evolving in frightening ways around the world as a result of rising GHGs. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/o...

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

A man raped a woman at knifepoint in Central Park in NYC on Saturday night. An estimated 383 rapes are reported to law enforcement each day in the U.S., according to FBI figures. That’s just the reported cases. Many more go unreported. Every day. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-tric...

Trump hit Brazil with a 50% tariff and sanctioned a judge to save his coup-plotting friend. Brazil convicted him anyway. 27 years. Sunday, Brazil got a vote on the son. The son's reaction came straight out of Trump's 2020 playbook. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-foug...

Hey #vss365 friends! Would love to see you at my #tarot and online writing workshop on Thursday. Pay what you can. www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticket...

Question: I can't be the only one who writes about explicit seggsual violence, not for "gratuitous" purposes but to purge it, to poke holes into it with my words. But which magazines accept it? #writingcommunity

Because of #LongCovid, my 10k steps a day have tapered down to 2k. That's a good overall measure; I'm down 80% for everything in my life. Fortunately, because of decades of working on my mental health, emotionally I'm fine. Acceptance, love, and gratitude are my backbone. #vss365 #truestory

One way to spot a hitter is to look at his clothes. You'll see tight sleeves and #tapered trousers to avoid grasping, desperate fingers and jackets just big enough to hide the unsightly bulge of a pistol. It’s a distinctive silhouette we in the biz call killer couture. #vss365 #microfiction

#bcpoli Of the 3,738,182 eligible voters in 2026, 861,258 (before mail ballots) voted Conservative, electing one of the largest majority governments in BC history. Important for that government to always think about the 2,876,924 (77%) who did not vote for them

The alternative? Don't grow, at least not by building more things we don't really need. Grow socially, instead. With everyone in on it, from the kids in Congo to New England prep schoolers. That's what the degrowth movement is all about.

Oh how i hope she's wrong

The future for BC for the next four years. #bcpoli

little bit of a tangent: i once had a department chair who physically threatened me because the graduate student he was having an affair with was struggling in my class. i ended up resigning a few months later. so dating a student can have far-reaching consequences beyond the abuse of the student.

The few vegetables and meat that are available are being sold at a high price. And what happens to Gaza after that? Families cannot afford food and the kitchens operating are closing. Famine isn't at the door it is already here.

FPTP strikes again, where 23% of the population get you a majority government because when only 48% bothered to vote and only 48% voted for the winning party, it still worked out. “Strong mandate” is a myth in #BCPoli

When the BC NDP is sending you their leader, they’re not sending you their best.  “How the BCNDP establishment stole the B.C. leadership race A ‘culture of cheating,’ party insiders say, stopped climate activist Anjali Appadurai from becoming premier.” breachmedia.ca/how-the-ndp-... #bcpoli #eby
