  • don’t read Tony and the Beetles

    https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40964 [Orbit 1.2, 1953]

    don’t think about every amazing Philip K. Dick story or novel that has been made into a good or bad movie

    don’t think about allegory

    don’t think about maga and carney and the c/a/n/a/d/a project

    don’t think about south africa, or ground penetrating radar or residential “schools” or marked graves or mass graves, or “Indian Day Schools” or the “Indian Land Trust” [which is maybe worth C$600b to C$3t] or the great canadian genocide [ongoing, as well as historical]

    don’t think about what “Indians” means

    don’t think about Indigenous women making up less than 4% of the population here, but 48% of the federal prison population [it was 24% a decade ago, and 12% two decades ago]

    don’t think about how “remigration” is straight out of the nazi playbook

    don’t think about Nakba, or October 7 or eight decades of slow or brisk genocide of zionist psychopaths in Palestine, or zionist settler paramilitary death squads, or how canadian settlers are…on someone else’s land

    don’t think about Gaza or the manifest destiny of greater israel

    don’t think about the flotillas and the beatings and torture and sexual assault, or how the canadian and swedish governments did sweet fuck all to maintain how they are appeasing the zionist psychopaths, so they chose to not support “their” citizens who merely seek an end to genocide, when our elected leaders cavort with those fuckers

    don’t think about antifa and how we were all antifa until 80 years ago, and now with most wwii vets dead, we’ve let nazis and fascists exist under cover of civility politics

    don’t think about how mairikkkans are afraid to physically stop, let alone shoot or kill masked terrorists in their streets kidnapping people, under the guise of homeland security

    don’t think about how naive it is to think that if we protest peacefully the fascists will just stop, but they don’t think like us, and when 80 years ago we had to kill them as fast as possible to stop a global fascist takeover

    don’t think about the global fascist takeover happening right now, shhhhh

    don’t think about how so many people think antifa is an organization with a leader, whose girlfriend has been taken into custody by ice

    don’t think

    just, don’t

    but do, do read Tony and the Beetles!

  • Draw the Line

    Draw the Line

    a fancy global event

    focussing on Palestine, genocide, climate change, citizenship, slavery and indentured work, broligarchs (25% wealth tax/year, dropping to 5% when they’re down to $78m), neocolonialism and landback and reparations, science is real, disability rights, general fascism and actual democracy. The big details are below.

    canada on fire, as of this hour

    compare today with 1980-2024 above, so filthy

    the Nanaimo rally?

    • At the start, 80% were over 60 years old, so let’s check in with VIU and k12 students hey? By the end it was up to 1/3 under 60.
    • lots of honking and waving
    • People in cars with deeply odd political statements [any first year political science student is welcome to deconstruct these gems]:
      • You’re all going to hell
      • This is Canada, you fucking liberals
      • Climate change is a fucking lie

    Why do we Draw the Line?

    We refuse to stand by while the government and Canada’s richest corporations hoard wealth, gut our public services, fuel climate collapse, attack migrants, exploit Indigenous lands, and prop up a genocide in Palestine.

    They think that if they can overwhelm and divide us, we won’t fight back. But climate justice, migrant justice, economic justice, Indigenous rights, and anti-war movements are uniting to prove them wrong.

    On Saturday, September 20th, we’re drawing the line – for People. For Peace. For the Planet.

    From rallies to strikes, marches to gatherings, this September 20th, communities will mobilize across the country and demand that Prime Minister Carney and the Canadian government pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction- or a just and safe future for all of us. Read our full demands below.

    let your eyes soak it in:

    this boat, contrasted with the foreground Arbutus tree, is grounded, stuck at a king tide line, feeble and impotent and incapable of change. that’s the c/a/n/a/d/a project. OUR job is to intervene!

  • no, the genocidal, occupying, zionist state of israel needs to go…no 2state fuckery

    no, the genocidal, occupying, zionist state of israel needs to go…no 2state fuckery

    ok several things happened last night in the chain, linked above:

    1. they forced england out of Ireland 103 years ago
    2. they forced england out of India 78 years ago
    3. Czechoslovakia transformed into other things since say 1991
    4. the c/a/n/a/d/a project needs to go, same with mairikkka
    5. because of 1-3, we can do 4
    6. because of 1-3 we can get rid of israel, which is why that since 2023.10.07, zionist shills worldwide pushed the existential narrative that “israel has a right to exist” and “but do you condemn Hamas?” even though international law is on the side of the occupied (including in North America)
    7. Christians, Jews, Muslims and so many others coexisted in Palestine for centuries before they introduced the zionist cancer (with apologies to cancer)
    8. this Mastodon post above, and so much more, happened–read it, and the chain that followed, to see a variety of views about what we need to do with Palestine…and the 2state fuckery is not it
    9. also, this will help you orient to a 21c where we remove occupying empires…https://www.threads.com/@the.harm.in.harmony/post/DMxLXyPx5Ub
    10. and Rachel Gilmore first alerted me to slash-and-cut-carney pondering recognizing Palestine…so while the c/a/n/a/d/a project is inching forward on Palestine, it’s for almost alllll the wrong reasons.
    11. kthanksbye
    12. oh and fuck off american eagle master race fuckery too, and all you dine with

  • gaza as gentrification+?

    compiling a list of the most vile gentrification+ projects of homo sapiens, inspired by the sickest consulting manoeuvre I’ve seen this year.

    • Gaza, particularly 2023+
    • “north america ” 1492+
    • what else?

    Grim truth!

  • the library of tears

    once, my MP toured me through the library of parliament in Ottawa — truly like a disneyland for nerds

    I was thinking about “library of tears,” as a concept

    Grief

    Pain

    Brutal let downs

    Rejection

    Sheer violence

    What does that library look like, is it wood paneled, smell of dust, cat hair, the wrong herbal tea…

    Are they hiring?


    like, what even IS this? we all deserve such cathedrals
