feels typical of how i’m regarded in canada that despite co-writing a white paper on digital sovereignty, speaking around the world on the subject, and even writing about it for ccpa, there’s a new open letter addressed to mark carney on just that subject that i’m only hearing about at publication
I appreciate Pritzker making this point very clearly. Yet again, we arrive at another moment where we need our media outlets to step up and call out what's happening. This is using "crime" as an excuse to deploy the military in American cities. This is authoritarianism. CALL IT THAT.
super interesting and data-driven piece, I love this newsletter, one of my favorite subs
Mummy cat bolo tie! You need to buy it, then take a pic with you wearing it! (Sorry, no US sales due to tariff shenanigans.)
Y’all know I loved Knives Out. Glass Onion was fun too. I feel less excited about this cast? Maybe it’s just the Mila Kunis and Jeremy Renner of it all?
If you are in the Edmonton area Fiasco is still missing - please check garages and sheds and engines! Let's get him home, please share x
I want to believe the NDP won’t biff this leadership race so we can get some actual leadership but my hope is running low
I FEEL THIS.
I expect we will see Carney’s numbers drop because he is following the same playbook too, while also not standing up to Trump like he claimed he would.
Bluesky has killed the outrage marketer grift. When everyone was confined to one place, plausible deniability existed. One could have happened across a comment from a usual target. But to carry comments from Bluesky over to Twitter to enrage one's audience makes one look like a stalker or weirdo.
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
Loblaws engaging in fraud? Imagine my surprise that the company which had previously been found guilty of price-fixing bread should do such a thing!
Good work from The Maple here for creating a timeline of Canada's implicit and explicit connections to the genocide in Palestine. Their journalism has been right on top of the arms deals and obfuscation. www.readthemaple.com/canadas...
And for all my winter locations, have never owned chains.
I think they are only allowed in the winter months? But I could be wrong.
I'm devastated I can no longer get orders from this shop in the US (the bats are EXTREMELY up my alley), but if you're in Canada, you should absolutely go take a look
Not just Canada, I can ship most places in the world. Admittedly I’ve never gotten an order from North Korea, but I sent one out to France this weekend.
The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.

I will never understand why more people aren't disgusted by the rightwing's obsession with children's genitals. It's creepy. It's weird. It's disturbing. It's the kind of political stance that should make a party anathema to any voter who isn't pro-pedophilia.
All the dudes in this show are dummies or terrible. The women aren’t great either but they give us ups and downs.
Hunting Wives is by no means a great show, but it is entertaining. I have binged almost the entire show today.
I love all my Loxy earrings. The hardest part about getting dressed now is picking out my earrings because I have so many good ones to choose from. 😅 #BuyCanadian
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

The fact that as a society we have done nothing to improve ventilation and filtration in all public building (as well as private communal ones), is madness.
Michelle Obama: "please I'm begging you feed kids just one (1) vegetable" RFK: "some children deserve to die. there's a healthy way to eat deep fried burgers" Media: "these are the same, to me"
I’ve ordered my Bigfoot and Mummy Cat pins!
Earrings, pins, hairclips, and even some mini-vase magnets. Everything is now uploaded. (sorry it took so long, Hunting Wives took way too much of my attention.) Loxythemaker.com Tell your friends. Especially those not in the US because I can't deal with the hassle and cost of shipping there now.
Seriouly my upload speed is so slow due to this show.
Today in #NAdrinks - fancy sparkling tea. I quite like it. It has a dryness that reminds of my favourite ciders. I thought there would be a bit more floral or fruit notes but it is very tea. I think there are other kinds to try?
I have already added it to my list - whatever they call it there.
So I’m uploading new stock to my website while watching the Hunting Wives and it is very distracting? Compelling? Terrible but great?
I spent so much of my childhood in various fabric stores and the fact that all the ones we went to have been wiped off the map- along with the products they sold- makes me deeply sad and worried for how we can keep folks coming into these crafts.
I post a lot about Palestine, but I also want to say that I am very empathetic to how difficult things are for my Jewish friends right now, and that I deeply respect those who have spoken up against the genocide being committed by the state of Israel with US and other western backing.

If you'll all excuse me, I have to go help set up for the Nanaimo, Duncan and District Labour Council annual Labour Day Picnic at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith. Free hotdogs, chips and drinks if you're in the area. Also, a bouncy castle, a band and speeches. Happy Labour Day to all!
unironic use of the phrase "purity test" is the best way to signal to everyone that you're a selfish amoral piece of shit who would eagerly sacrifice any marginalized community you aren't part of in order to preserve your own comfort
I use them for all my big seedlings before they go in pots and then I also use them to cover things early on if there might be frost. I have a whole stack!
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
Woooof
Those ones are from a large garden but I also grow them in bags in my small yard…
Ughhhhhhh
Adelaide’s Izak Rankine gets a four game ban for his homophobic comments and then Snoop Dogg comes out with his ridiculous take on LGBTQIA+ parenting. The AFL supposedly promotes equality and inclusivity yet CEO Andrew Dillon is doubling down on having Snoop Dogg perform at the Grand Final. Unreal.

Sounds like something my husband would watch but I’d give it a try.
And the Pee Wee doc.
I’ve fallen off drag race. I will watch the pit stop on YouTube but I don’t love the whole eps anymore? And I have finished succession last time I had crave.
Also this is a hot tip if you’re like me and just rotate through streaming services, waiting for them to give you a deal to sign back up. And then unsubscribing before the price goes up again.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of Warrior but I do see that Juror 2 has Nicholas Hoult…
Yeah I’m caught up on old HBO that I liked. Though I’m realizing that I rarely watch serious stuff anymore.
And the Righteous Gemstones
And the new season of Hacks
Of course I will watch The Hunting Wives
Crave just sent a reactivate for $3.99/month for 3 months deal so I guess I have Crave now. What’s good there these days?
Not that I know of.
But it's a reminder that as this laptop approaches 10 years old(?), that I might need a new one. Which is great news whilst unemployed.
Anyways, I typed this update on my laptop. The R key mechanism was truly broken, so I've taken the innards of the "End" key which I rarely use and made the R work again. End is glued together so fingers crossed that holds.
And they go FLYING. There are pieces strewn all across our living room. Orgle is cleaning up all the pieces. I'm trying to prevent Lubo from accidentally eating one, while also trying to find the R key that was also on the coffee table as this was happening.
As we are trying to inspect the laptop, Lubo seemingly falls off the couch, across his ramp and onto the coffee table - and onto two bins of the earrings and stuff I make. One is of the pieces I was finishing and photographing earlier (posted the pins). One is all the wood pieces that I'm painting..
So this is my last 30 minutes. Lubo, for some reason, decides to walk across my laptop while I'm on it. In the fray, the R key, breaks and disappears. For some time, Orgle and I are searching for the R key. We finally find it (and the broken parts). Then...
IYKYK
So many more options for this kind of stuff in the last couple years.
Haven’t posted any #NADrinks lately but I’ve got another win from Belicious. This one is a strawberry daiquiri, and what I like about all their “honey infused sparkling drinks” is that they aren’t too sweet. 35 calories is a good indicator, as I don’t want zero calorie sweeteners nor do I want pop.

Junior high was rough for me but I keep them all. Never know when someone you were in grade 8 with turns out to be a serial killer.
Report the post.
Some pins coming to my site tomorrow by 5pm PT. #bsnm Loxythemaker.com
The fact that people keep sharing that Marlon Wayans quote even though it has no source, alt text… AND WAS NEVER SAID.
I’ve been tracking May for the last 10 years and yeah it usually has a couple warm days but it’s not that far below average to not.
Oh I know. It was a bit of a below average summer but things have really picked up for August.
Our highs have been better in August than July which is unheard of.
Or our own missing degrees from May and July. ;)
I'm no meteorologist but there is no way it hits 27 this week. It feels warm right now and it's 18.
The average temperature this time of year: High of 15, low of 4. Our forecast:
Non-disabled people specifically were not listening to autistic people who RFK Jr has gone after the hardest, in my opinion, because they're fine with quietly villainizing autism too.
gif that finger snap
When Dom scored, I shouted “that’s in” before it even went off the post. Orgle was like, “did you see that he scored online?” And I was like, “no, I just knew.” ❤️
That was the best I’ve seen the back line this season so far.
Spectacular from Szoboszlai
Fantastic to go into the international break with 9 points and being the only team left who has won all their matches so far. Also feels fantastic to beat Arsenal this early in the season. A tough match, but the mentality and drive to win it was there and they got it done like champions do #YNWA
He was so solid.
Big shout out to Gomez coming in and doing a great job.
With all of Liverpool’s huge signings this season, who knew that right back Dominik Szoboszlai would be the best player. #YNWA #LFC
*HOT DOM
HOT DAMN
For @charminggrump.bsky.social
I know all these players are fit, but then you see ol’ Joe Gomez changing shirts and dude is RIPPED.
I remember when words had meanings.
You’ll never woof alone. #ynwa #lfc
Love the people who are returning to Twitter for lack of engagement here. We didn’t leave because of engagement levels. We left because we didn’t want to be on Elon’s nazi site. And while things aren’t perfect here, it is what you make of it.
James Milner is now the 2nd youngest goal scorer in League history and the 2nd oldest goal scorer in League history. From prodigy to icon.
Deleted the Marlon Wayans post because there is no source for it that I can see.

It’s my birthday coming up so here’s my gift list so you have some ideas of what to get me. giftster.com/gift/public/... But the best gift you can get me is to help promote my mini biz. Like don’t share this, write something nice with my website address. HBD.
