Oh, I’m sorry that’s happening 🫂

Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands

“As worries about the health impacts have grown, so have the number of new youth centers and community projects in the Indigenous communities, each of them branded with an oil company sponsorship.”

What’s happening in the tar sands is an abomination. (Gift link)

It is A LOT!! And shocking to see what people will do and believe!!! Birds aren’t real?! Helen Keller was a faker?! Plantations were like communes?!? WUT. By design, like you said. Information & Psychological Warfare are here, so we need to protect our little head calculators. System overload!

Agreed. From here it feels like the shit that got swept under the rug has reappeared because it was never dealt with. It also appears to be so much worse because the worst people got together on the Internet with a fake currency to crime and try and take over and bring on the rapture

Yeah, I was a deep fan of my daily Auntie Oprah time then. I have a hard time faulting her. It does feel a lot like the early 2000’s again rn. Except the internet got broken by hijackers lol 😂😭

Agreed. One large underlying factor - changes in mass comms + weaponization of the internet and Facts - needs to be wrestled with to truly change anything. Oh, and the $$ part. That also needs reeling in. Corporations, foreign interests & billionaires involved in elections really accelerated things.

I’m trying to remember when he came on my radar up here - I think Oprah might have had him on lol

We had so much Obama envy here. We had a conservative leader then and I remember how excited I was for the US, for the future. It can come back as the messes get sorted. I have faith.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! that was INTENSE. A dash of Islamophobia added in to this damn day

They sure did. And most just ignored it. Anyone paying any attention all could recognize the wound was not healing and get to the heart of it

That’s why I kept it. They really did try. They really did have hope for a new way forward! Sweet summer children, all of us (me!) Festering rot still festers underneath, tho. Time to finally flush that wound

Right?!?! 😂😭

Good morning

YES. Nails it exactly.

Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

B.C. RCMP has renewed calls to the public for help locating missing 34-year-old Rosemary Harry, who has been missing since January on Vancouver Island.

IT'S A NICE DAY FOR A

How lovely :) Disproportionately excited about this, ngl. Starting my seeds this week. Growing stuff is The Best!

That essential idea - that a lot of conservatives want simple answers to complex problems - is endemic, and not limited to America. A lot of the stupid conspiracy-soaked rejection of knowledge and modernity stems from that, or at least, is reflected in that.

How Their First Library Card Teaches Kids Responsibility How Their First Library Card Teaches Kids Responsibility

To kids, a first library card can symbolize the power and responsibility of adulthood.

Really enjoying the Paralympics, especially since I found the replay feeds with full commentary. :) Visually impaired skiers have "guides" but it still sounds completely terrifying. Imagine being blindfolded and hurtling down a steep slope with a guide calling out the turns.... Huge achievement.

Cover of Newsweek’s Who’s Next special issue. It has a picture of a young smiling Barack Obama on it with text: 2005 Barack Obama A Rising Star Who Wants to Get Beyond Blue vs. Red Seeing Purple

Found unpacking my stash, from late 2004

oooo that side eye lol

An Amazon listing entitled: “Flymind Safe Keychain Set for Girls with Personal Safety Alarm, Hand Sanitizer Holder, Whistle and Pom - Rating 4.5” There is a circle of images surrounding an image of the keychain itself. Those images are captioned anticlockwise as follows: “For students For gifts For women alone For elderly For outdoor sports For potential murder” All the images are stock photos apart from “For potential murder” which is an unsettling illustration of a wide-eyed face being gagged by a hand from behind.

Was just browsing handy keychains for my daughter and this took a dark and unexpected turn.
