I don't like messing with politics, but politics keeps messing with me. I'm just a nameless, faceless person. Lets leave it at that. Whatever my views on religion are, they do not include limiting the rights of others or forcing my beliefs on them

MAiD in Canada @maidincanada.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
We hear so many frightening stories and misleading claims about MAiD. So it’s good to see someone push back and describe what MAiD actually looked like for them: a person who knows what they want, people who care deeply about them, and a team taking their wishes seriously. That is the MAiD we know.

DoorDash spent $1.4 million trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. Mamdani just made them pay $131.5 million in wage theft settlements to 264,000 delivery workers. This is why they fear working class solidarity. It comes with accountability.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

This is really nice to see. End of Life care is a massive blind spot in our society, as we typically prefer to avoid thinking about dying altogether. And having lost two parents and a grandparent over the past few years, I've definitely been reflecting on how I would prefer to punch my ticket.

So lets see if I understand this correctly. If Republicans win the mid-terms, Trump will give every adult citizen $5,000. And he means it this time. But if Republicans lose, he's threatening to withhold FEMA funding out of spite. Don't vote for those currently holding you hostage at gunpoint

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. sent me an update, saying they forgot to send me a response received in my complaint. Their initial response, sent before their lawyers response, just doubles down on what I said... Their November 20, 2025 response
To the college of physicians and surgeons of British Columbia,
College File: [redacted]
Regarding complaint filed by [redacted] ("concerned member of the public")
Island Health is misusing the mental health act of BC to enroll involuntary patients into for profit, pharma marketing funded "clinical research" with no informed consent. The colleges refuses to investigate and continues to reprimand the whistleblower. Why is that?
