Maybe a bit out of scope for “gardening”, but get to know how to sustain the life in both your garden as well as your community with as many sustainable inputs as possible.

Make your own compost and save your own seeds.

Network with people in your area.

Learn about the CSA farms in your area and see if you can contribute your little garden space to their effort in a collective manner in exchange for a complimentary CSA share (aka you use your entire plot to grow a large amount of some random veggie or herb to contribute to their program in exchange for a full season of their subscription).

Contribute excess veggies to the food bank.

Also, I hate to be “that guy”, but being a Canadian/American who pays attention to news headlines in both countries, I’ve gotta say that a shockingly substantial amount of your neighbors have no idea how fucked their world is going to be for the foreseeable future. Shit’s hitting the fan in a way that may be even bigger than 2008, and I feel like so many of us never actually recovered from that…

All that to say, “gardening” is really, really important now

They are going to destroy things we deeply love and hold to be sacred, as casual as we may normally feel about defining things as “sacred”

I mean, not yet. Give it a few months.

I feel like The Onion should host their own PeerTube instance, just for the sake of using an incredibly cheeky domain name like ifuckinghatewatching.video or something cooler like onion.media or something

“Socially liberal” right up until the point that we start talking about worker’s rights, the dignity of poor people, and the exploitation of cheap slave labor on the other side of the world

How about we remove tariffs from Chinese EVs in addition to this?

Local breweries and unions are two of my favourite things in the world, so maybe we should listen to these concerns.

He’s not taking on Trump. He’s undercutting and backstabbing PP so that he can take over leadership of the CPC at some point in the medium-term.

For all of his many shortcomings (which, yes, there are a lot of them and many of them are pretty awful), I’m proud of how he’s handled this. I hope that he enjoys a peaceful and happy retirement with his family.

We need to support this company as much as possible. If I recall, they also had amazingly worker-friendly policies during the height of COVID. They are a Canadian gem that really needs to be protected with our support. Go treat yourself to some ice cream this weekend!

I’m not saying that governments are the most trustworthy institutions in the world, but as someone who tried to be an early adopter of blockchain from both a tech and a financial perspective, I immediately assume that anything that has the word “crypto” in it is deeply flawed and inherently untrustworthy. I’ve unfortunately learned this from experience.

I trust governments with fiat currency a hell of a lot more than I trust anything that has to do with crypto.

Unrigged is legit

For me it’s the sensory of the hot water, breathing in the steam, and having a place to be alone. My life is wall-to-wall tasking these days…being a parent with ADHD who has a toddler and a type-A personality partner who loves to delegate tasks is existentially exhausting.

I made an online purchase today and specifically did not use the Shop Pay option. Fuck Shopify. Fucking traitors.
