This reminds of an old Usenet friend’s story about how he became a vegetarian: he watched Babe on acid and wound up standing by the open freezer cradling a package of bacon and apologizing
In the wake of Travis Dhanraj’s testimony about CBC’s biased practices I can confirm that they do blackball ppl and I am someone who is currently blackballed for life from CBC, which should be a banned practice. I am currently blacklisted from CBC I can guarantee that the blacklist is real

A 3 colour risograph print using blue, yellow and fluorescent pink ink featuring a raccoon. It is walking across some grass covered in flowers, dragging a grocery back which is spilling out food. We see the words TORONTO in bright yellow letters above the critter.
Quick little 3 colour risograph I printed today - I will be hiding these around a park in Toronto tomorrow for Art & Found Day!
Carney fans, rationalize away! He is *exactly* who we said he is.

Went back and forth on posting this, but the culmination of me talking to my work about the vast difference in how I’m treated by people at my job has resulted in me being pushed out. In case anyone’s wondering why I’m pissed off about people pretending transsexuals have some magic authority.
READ HER WORDS AT THE END, and make sure to miss me with that "person of their time" bullshit y'all try to pull about white people in the olden times.

Laura Haviland was one of many women who worked with both Levi and Catharine Coffin during their years in Cincinnati, Ohio. But she is probably one who had a close relationship with the Quaker couple. Haviland was born in Ontario, Canada, but spent much of her childhood in New York. Raised a Quaker, she was a child who loved education and reading, Haviland learned of slavery by reading the works of John Woolman. Several years after marrying her husband, the couple moved to Michigan where she became involved in anti-slavery work as well as opening a school where all children were welcomed, regardless of color. That school became known as the Raisin Institute. It is also during this period that Haviland became involved in the Underground Railroad, with her home becoming one of the first established Underground Railroad depots in the state. Levi may have been the first to meet Laura, when he came through Michigan on his way to visit Canada West in the fall of 1844. But his first mention of knowing Laura comes during the second trip to Canada, this time with Catharine, in 1854.
Laura speaks of her relationship with the Coffins in her autobiography. "My dear friends Levi and Catherine Coffin had given me a very cordial invitation to make their house my house whenever I was in Cincinnati." As a houseguest at times, she was aware that the Coffins hid freedom seekers on the fourth floor of the home they occupied on the corner of Walnut and 9th Streets. Haviland had no fear of going into Kentucky to aid slaves north into Cincinnati and faced potential jail time for her actions. Yet she never waivered in her determination. "I would not for my right hand become instrumental in returning one escaped slave to bondage. I firmly believe in our Declaration of Independence, that all men are created free and equal, and that no human being has a right to make merchandise of others born in humbler stations, and place them on a level with horses, cattle, and sheep, knocking them off the auction-block to the highest bidder, sundering family ties, and outraging the purest and tenderest feelings of human nature."
