The attack on the oil depots could be construed as chemical warfare, which violates international law, because the aggressors likely knew the hazards the civilians who live in Tehran would face, one scientist said.

An important article by @readtheorchard.org on how Canadian governments are not adapting to independent media and journalists. Corporate media receives special treatment and that should scare us all.

Once again noting that Canadian legal precedent is that the Canadian Parliament can remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession to the Canadian Crown via normal legislation *separately and distinct from any UK legislation*. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...
i’ve watched this three times. VERY satisfying.

Taking myself offline for most of the rest of the day because I’m on a deadline. I do like how the yoke turned out.

Protecting women in sports somehow constantly ends up at creating barriers for women in sports

Last night I went to the B.C. Housing led meeting on the “Tiny Home Village” proposed on 20th Street in New West. The meeting was filled with coordinated attendees who came to spread misinformation drilled into them by the bigoted chaos agents known as NWP in #newwest. Some of the misinfo incl: 1/
An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.
For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1975—or so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workers’ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to women’s rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around women’s rights called “Woman’s Day” in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand women’s suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Woman’s Day into an international day of action—International Working Women’s Day—which, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

One thing we should be taking away from the fascist crisis is that careful research on the real world is extremely fucking important. Bare minimum that work needs to be funded & expanded for us to have the information & tools necessary to cast off this regime & create a livable world from its ashes.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.

Vancouver’s Chinese community says mayor’s apology isn’t good enough
The social cost of carbon tells policymakers how much climate change is costing humanity. But until now, calculations disregarded the ocean almost entirely.

Oh, I have been waiting for this piece. The BAFTAs generated a whole mess and tons of stigma and hurtful stereotypes about Tourette's. @slooterman.bsky.social interviews Black women with Tourette's around it.

Hard not to see this as deliberate political disinformation central to a key wedge issue targeted at a large voting block with potential language limitations early in a municipal election season.
In other words, lying on purpose so you can win.

Still working on my friend whose wife is an obstetrician!
A few months ago I sent an American friend a list of small-mid-sized BC cities with maternity ward staff shortages that I thought would be her vibe. She picked one she thought would be good for her kid and applied. Within two days her application was fast-tracked.
This is the Vancouver you get when you vote for Ken Sim.
This October, get your ass out and vote against this fucker who only has time/money for real estate, cops, and cryptocurrency.
I am here to tell you that British Columbia effectively moving to Mountain Time is bad and wrong. The Yukon has already taken this leap and friends, it makes no sense!
Truly dystopic.
"we are witnessing the fullest expression of the most inhumane weapons of the century: Autonomous bombs and missiles. Their “autonomy” refers to fact that humans need not be in the loop in any meaningful way when deciding where to target or whether to launch such weapons."
