I asked ages ago but didn’t get much of a response so I’m taking another swing at it. Does anyone following me either know how to read Cree or know someone who can?

This is basically a dollar a book, and each book is more than 150,000 words long. A penny per thousand words is a ridiculously low price point.

“Prominent Conservative Mark Carney to change name of party he leads to the NeoLiberal Party of Canada.”

Christopher Bird@mightygodking.com · 3d ago

aaaaaaand we're back to Mark Carney selling the country to his rich buddies for pennies on the dollar, we took a couple weeks off for trade war but we're back

In bid to spur investment, Carney offers businesses chance to screw over Indigenous community of their choice

As we said from the moment this idea was first floated: privatizing our airports benefits no one but corporations out to make a profit.

Avi Lewis@avilewis.ca · 5mo ago

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

Every year, as camping and hiking reservation windows open in parks nationwide, news outlets and social media fill with laments over crushed vacation plans. Why is it so difficult—and so expensive—for Canadians to enjoy our national and provincial parks? https://ow.ly/Yjjz50ZNA22

Toronto: Mark Carney offers white Canadians the full First Nations experience at his Canada Investment Summit. - Cheer as your land gets sold to other people. - Thrill to your water supply being poisoned for generations. - Delight as your social programs are cut for tax breaks for corporations.

“When we were being stolen from our parents and experienced genocide in Indian Residential Schools, we wondered, ‘Who are the people that will help us?’ Today, we are those people. Today we offer our help, support, and jurisdiction to override these dehumanizing laws.”

Currently having this argument with my mom who wants to buy books for her neighbor kids, which is lovely, but everything she's thought of was written before 1960. If anybody's got recs for books for kids I haven't met, 6, 8, 10- I'd take them.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 4d ago

Yup. Jo Walton coined the term "The Suck Fairy" for a reason. The favorite movies/TV/books/etc of our youth often don't survive a current encounter. This is why I always suggest revisiting an old favorite before sharing them with a younger generation.

Identifying social norms as a source of infections is key. After lovely summer outdoor get togethers, there was pressure for an indoor restaurant. Solution: Fall= outdoor restaurant with heaters. Winter = phone calls, FaceTime. Keeping in touch doesn’t have to mean keep getting infected.

I heard one student say to another that they were sitting next to someone that was coughing, and they were desperate to get up and move away, but couldn’t because it would be noticed and disrupt the lecture. These are the social norms public health has failed to address.

Just back from Prince Edward Island, my home province. There are magical places on the island when the tide is out where one can walk across oceans and bays. A land of red sand and blue skies, where you imagine a different, gentler world.
