You know, what with the current situation, it would be neat if there was a book about how people leverage martyrdom for political gain. As it happens, I wrote a book just like that. You can read it for free. collections.dartmouth.edu/ebooks/field...

This! Had a motorcyclist try to hit my gf and I in a crosswalk earlier this year and then he yelled at us when we tried to tell him we were crossing legally.

@hfxgov.bsky.social Question - Industry and businesses use more water than households. Before an individual conservation order is in place, we should have mandatory work-from-home orders and inspections of businesses. I can't if-yellow-let-mellow at work! I've been conserving at home since June :/

He asked, and the "international affairs" crowd was much larger. Then he fled from the will of the room. I didn't even see him leaving 'til he was halfway out the lil side door 😂

Please retract the funding for the Davis Cup. Halifax doesn't support genocide or athletes from countries actively committing war crimes.

A #poem to capture a lovely day with friends. It felt good to write from joy instead of pain or rage. I'm thankful I'm allowed to sit on the shore and swim as I please. #Palestinians in #Gaza are often murdered for this. #Israel kills kids #cdnpoli olivandjasper.wordpress.com/2025/07/06/d...

a photo of a lake with sand on the close shore and evergreens on the far shore, all bathed in sunlight. The water is rippled. The sky is blue with white clouds being blown to the horizon. A person's shadow comes from the right and there's a couple forgotten objects in the sand. A poem is written over the left top of the photo, mostly clouds.
The poem in the image:
A checkerboard of white and blue,
and the sometimes gusting wind—
this early summer's day by the lake,
picturesque and chill,
was warmed by friends, new and old,
with far more tea to spill.

Hey #halisky a keffiyeh stands for the liberation of Palestinians. A swastika (now) stands for Jewish hate. Hope this helps the random person who told me wearing the keffiyeh was basically the same as wearing a swastika. I do not hate Jewish people. I do hate Zionists.

I don't understand how she can quote Anne Frank and support genocide. Sorry there aren't any attics left for children to hide in and write journals?? Thank you for clarifying, I hadn't seen this speaker before that I was aware of.

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

I thought this speech was pro Palestine, but the comments are making me think, no. What context is this?

As a Canadian living on stolen land in Mi'kma'ki, traditional and current home of the Mikmaw people, I've lived with this kernel of, 'how can I say anything about Israel-Palestine when I'm a colonizer, too?' but *part* of #Reconciliation is doing everything we can to stop Israel's genocide #cdnpoli

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

We need well sign posted detours for cars, too, and the organizers need to understand that people work inside the circlular route(s). Last year, they screamed at and insulted me because I needed to get a friend to work and didn't know the event was happening.

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I'm slowly but surely working my way through @simkern.bsky.social's book 'Genocide Bad' and just learned about Israel's 'Hannibal Directive'. I'm floored. What chance do Palestinians have of self determination under a government that plans to shoot it's own citizens. #freepalestine #freeisrael

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I will look into ICRC and MSF. Thank you for the tips. At this point though, ICRC and MSF are at the mercy of the aid blockade and are being murdered. Hence why countries like Canada need to intervene with force.

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Literally anything more than we're doing now. We sent troops into Nazi occupied Germany. We need to send a peacekeeping force into Gaza and liberate the aid trucks / ships.

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Your daily reminder that, our government is silently allowing 1 million children to die. Their stomachs are currently eating themselves. Minor wounds are death sentences by malnutrition. If we want to stop this, we must deploy NOW. #cdnpoli #freepalestine #gaza

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Until the genocide is ended, Canada needs to deploy troops to protect Palestinians and aid workers. I grew up being taught we're the Peacekeepers, but our dollars funded Israel's war machine. We are responsible for the deaths of 2 million people, including 1 million children. #cdnpoli #canada

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Hey, just in case you didn't know, Israel is mass murdering 2 million people through starvation in an open air prison. People ate the grass. There's nothing left. A million children are being starved to death. #cdnpoli #markcarney #freepalestine And, Canadians gave Israel the resources it needed.

When I read this, it suggests I can't vote between April 22 and April 28, but I'm sometimes really thick so, that's why I'm asking the internet, do you know if I can, or can't, vote today?

Hey #halisky #cdnpoli Is it true that if I didn't vote on or before April 22, I can't vote again until April 28? I didn't get my voter card until after April 22, so I wanted to vote today.

The #NDP sent me an email today regarding one of the NS candidates. Following is an image of the email and my response. Tldr: Rana Zaman, Tammy Jakeman, and Jessica Wetz all stood up for Palestine, but the NDP didn't stand up for them. #freepalestine #Solidarity #feminism

@ndp.ca Who are leftists supposed to vote for when you're just liberals with more yellow?

Olivand Jasper @oliegator.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

@ndp.ca I voted for you every election since I was eligible. You're making it very hard to vote for you this year, because you don't protect sex workers. You don't protect NDP reps who speak out against the genocide of Palestinians, funded in part by Canadians.

"This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources." Is truly great. Wiki saying humans are particularly creative at finding surprising ways to die.

Police extend sincere condolences like they didn't murder a loved one. Thank goodness the killers are immediately remorseful. I'm sure that helps the family with their lost son. Pray you never have a mental health episode in #halifax #hrp #halisky
