can't imagine anyone looking at the US & thinking "I wAnT tHaT!" anyone who detests creating a better society for everyone through community as paramount over a fascist police state is bound to be oppressive.
Make sure you download your Nova Scotia Summer Bingo for Better card! "Celebrate, explore, and support Nova Scotia’s communities and culture with Bingo for Better this summer." bingoforbetter.ca
This is still happening today #halisky Clothing swap at Aurora, 5666 Sebastian St. until 2pm. Lots of free clothes and cookies!
can't wait to spend all summer taking psychedelics and listening to the Grateful Dead with the 9-year-old
Unfortunately, many sectors are supporting the autocracy. Higher Ed keeps announcing mining programs while suspending courses in other faculties & cutting important students supports. Arts education, and history in particular, is seen as a threat to autocracy. As @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains:
going through books for potential donation, but this one will always get to stay. all you need to know about my family is that i recieved this 1985 collection of former New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield cartoons in my xmas stocking one year.
lots of houses for sale in the north end right now. and, i recognize this is probably digitally rendered, but should you set up the living room like this, i'll be standing at the window with a bag of chippers watching whatever's on your tv.
love that the bluenose race weekend shirts make everyone a breath king this year.
oh, maybe. i have a samsung. in my phone it's under "wireless emergency alerts" and then "emergency alert history"
The paratrooper feature at the new commons playground is kind of distressing.
They keep using British Columbia as a comparison 🙄 BC is 925,186 km2 and NS is 55,284 km2.
If you're curious about drought conditions, here's the Canada Drought Monitor map until end-of-March (it's updated the end of each month). Nova Scotia is still experiencing some moderate drought & New Brunswick has a large area of severe drought. It'll be interesting if April rain changes things!
In 2019, I gave a conference presentation that could be relevant now about what I call the Batcomputer effect. Everyone is always hoping that the next tech development is the Batcomputer from the 1960s Batman TV show. This was in reference to education, but you see it across sectors
Well, it's nice that it's open again, but the restrictions are ridiculous. No drawing! No writing! No BLM shirts! They're terrified of public expression, and they hate what artists like Sara Hartland-Rowe can illuminate:
thank you to the fantasy baseball league who, for years, has accepted that my team is named Carl and the team logo is just this photo of Carl Perkins.
Can someone who knows more than I do tell me how treating "tailings and waste rock as a mineral resource" could have implications for environmental assessment and expectations for clean up? #nspoli
I'm thinking of making 15 copies of this as my accompanying document for the NS Public Bills Committee.
I hate how the NS premier & con MLAs talk about the massive deficit as if it was inevitable. No! They created this mess! And, many Nova Scotians knew about the financial crisis before this budget. However, I love how today's announcement transcript includes all of Tim's throat clearing & snorting.
Shame on the province. This is really racist. And did they not know who Lennett Anderson is?!?
