Theory of Water - Leanne Simpson
Tomorrow, we fight for a piece of Canada.
The CBC isn’t just a broadcaster. It’s part of our lives, our identity—our connection to one another.
It’s where we hear our own stories, told in our own voices. It’s where Canada sounds like Canada.
If we lose it, we lose more than a channel...
When Idle No More started, before it became a national movement, it was started by four women who who were reading and paying attention to the massive omnibus bills Harper was pushing through that were going to have terrible negative impacts on the environment and Indigenous people. #BillC-69
Grab a coffee and head to Willows beach. It's one of my favourite places. Go to The Ruby for breakfast. (There may be a line so I recommend early). Go to Fisherman's wharf for fish & chips and to check out the houseboats.
Poilievre voted against boosting seniors’ income—while locking in a $230K/year taxpayer-funded pension for himself.
CBC reported it. He wants it gone.
Defund hypocrisy, not journalism.

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects.

The group saying Water Protectors and Greenpeace committed acts of “violence and vandalism.” static.politico.com/1d/31/e55b1c...
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.
The wholesale erasure of history in real time.
I’m in.
There's no point posting, and tbh it seems no point reading. It's all been said.
Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Right there, acknowledged in the 15th amendment, are the words of US oppression based on race and/or color. The very words, scenarios, and questions I am not supposed to engage in my Intro to Human Geography course. #censorship
I am experiencing a strange cognitive dissonance effect stemming from simultaneously reading of the dismantling of government by Trump over the past few days (I mean, really, he's staging a coup) and Via Rail advertisements encouraging me to "have fun" and "book your trip now."
Just kidding. Where do you think the Nazis got a lot of their ideas from?
Just registered for an online songwriting workshop with @jlmusiccanada.bsky.social! Time to write another song. My brain has been stagnant in this area for awhile.
This post made me laugh.
At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids since Wednesday, according to Navajo Nation officials.
I don't know how I'm supposed to focus when everything seems to be going to shit.
Working on my research proposal is making my head spin. Will I ever get used to this? #AcademicSky @academic-chatter.bsky.social
The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
Yes, that's why I'm following.
Depending on how your friends have identified themselves on here, you can do searches for them. Once you've found one friend, it's possible to look at their followers and possibly find mutual friends.
A country founded on violence will scorch the earth to get what it wants.
Aming the Haudenosaunee, the corn husk doll was a treasured gift for children, since the dawn of corn agriculture. Each doll is unique but faceless, invoking that we are all equal.

In Oct 2024, I traveled with Witsuwit’en Likhsilyu to Quai Branly Museum in Paris, France, as they reunited with the K'egit Totem Pole. #Witsuwit’en #FSUgeography
