Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

BREAKING NEWS: “Do geese see God” is a palindrome

I am disgusted by the appearance of white nationalists on the Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc reserve. This is happening just days before the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. I stand with Indigenous communities & all marginalized communities in the fight for a future free from racist intimidation.

I am a mom and scientist begging everyone to look closer at the muck. We’ve been conditioned to see wetlands as wastelands. But three decades of research, I see a fiercely defiant wilderness. The boreal mire is a dynamic carbon-trapping vault that in some places has outlasted ice ages. 1/

this is what counts as worldbuilding for me

My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”

The thing is, they may not realise how many of the people affected are romance authors, and relatedly that we have a paramilitary wing.

Environmental groups say there’s a reason why the federal government quietly released its latest climate report, which finds that average temperatures in Canada are set to go up by at least 3.5 C by the end of the century.

This kind of report should be accompanied by a press conference—not with some low-level bureaucrat, but with the prime minister. Flanked by all of his ministers. In prime time, with technical briefings. This report says we're facing unimaginable disaster, yet we didn't even get a briefing.

Global warming will exceed 1.5, "likely in the next few years." Canada is doing this. We are the 4th largest producer of oil in the world, and the 5th of gas, and have set a goal to become the 2nd largest producer of gas - a 7-fold increase. @mark-carney.bsky.social you should be ashamed.

It's time for Canada to follow @doctorow.pluralistic.net's advice and repeal their anti-circumvention law. This asshat of a trade representative won't know what hit him. pluralistic.net/2026/01/29/p...

Again and again, people have been asking for a national map. So we made one. Other maps exist, yes. But they're either out of date or woefully overinclusive. I don't need to see every hospital's tiny datacentre. stopthedatacentre.ca/map

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Carney has been broadcasting to Canada that his government’s former plan to tackle the climate crisis was “too expensive,” but the reality is that climate disasters have become too expensive to ignore. (🧵1/4)

This book is legit great. Cathartic. Necessary. Beautiful and terrible. Character driven and believable near-future eco-fiction masterpiece.

We are living in a dystopian state in Ontario. Look at these ads that our province is running. people don't have anywhere to go anymore - and if you aren't a moment or two away from being in the same spot, count yourself fucking lucky.

Fits perfectly into KJ’s ‘Heyer but gayer’ category, queer historical romance with comedic elements and social commentary and fascinating historical details. The MCs are quirky and endearing, the supporting characters are vivid, and the plot is fun with a soupçon of bonkers. Delightful!

Today I called on Anton Boegman, commissioner for Foreign Interference A to launch an investigation into American interference in the Alberta separatist campaign. Which White House officials met with the separatists? Who put the offer of $500million on the table? This requires investigation.
