A white supremacist march in Aldersyde over the weekend—that's about 15 minutes southeast of Okotoks, for the city folk—serves as a grim reminder that this filth still continues to plague the province. These men appear to be Second Sons, affiliated with Jeremy MacKenzie and Diagolon.

Climate change is a killer hellscape that we will not get out of with mere 'personal responsibility.' We deserve systemic responses and we deserve elected officials that make it happen.

Councillors tacking to the right pre-election, presenting policy based on optics at the behest of business owners, rather than supporting evidence-based policy to address complex issues. They'd rather delete unhoused people off the map, especially when they're trying to keep their jobs in the fall.

People with seizure disorders are also rarely lead characters in medical dramas, or any kind of dramas/media. In popular culture, we are usually the patient, the possessed, vulnerable, lacking agency or expertise or authority. Because how can a seizing bodymind be capable of anything, amirite?

When I first heard about "Be Giant", I thought great! Kind of an odd name, but so glad to hear there's new media in Canada! Then I found out that it's backed by the Weston family, who have contributed to food insecurity and the privatization of healthcare and I'm like no, thanks. You can keep it.

If you missed the opening reception for Quilting Is An Art: A Showcase of South Side Quilters, you missed us geeking out over this great little logo quilt that curator Doris Barnes surprised us with - here's board member Ian celebrating our keepsake. But the good news is you can still see the show!
A photo of a black man with round clear frame glasses and a small bucket hat tilted back on his head, standing in front of a large colorful quilt holding a much smaller quilt, approximately eight inches by ten inches, that features the logo for PullmanArts.

Yes, I wouldn’t doubt that you could train AI to make plausible ersatz Cormac McCarthy that would fool most readers. But if you gave AI the sum of human literature up until McCarthy’s first novel, it would never spontaneously create his style.

Absolutely this. White suburbs were created to shield white populations from the realities of the system they prop up. This is why, among many other things, if you adopt a position anywhere to the left of Bill Clinton in suburbia you are automatically labeled a radical.

Delayed and Turned Away: How Access to Abortion Can Depend on Your Weight
Research shows abortion is safe across body sizes. But BMI limits at clinics are still pushing some patients into different care and higher costs.
