Something worth saying: transformative justice is not about mercy. It's about uprooting harm. It's dismantling the systems that put people at the mercy of others at all, wherever that can happen.

Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair @ottawanarchistfair.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
Poster for the Ottawa Anarchist bookfair. The design is a segment of a patch jacket with a xerox filter. Patches and buttons carry info about the event. 

Text on various patches read:
Ottawa Anarchist Bookfair
Glebe Community Centre

June 27
10am-3pm

ottanarchistbookfair.noblogs.org 

Workshops & food! Wheel-accessible

Read & resist

Buttons read:
- On Algonquin land
- Masks mandatory & provided
- No AI

Hand written text on the sleeve reads:
Wheel-accessible and free food and sewists to sew on patches and workshops.
A tiny wheelchair accessible symbol and needle with thread are doodled in there.

In the upper right where a shirt under the jacket would be, a sunflower with an anarchist A in the centre arises. Some of the leaves are shaped like the pages of a book.

The year, 2026, is drawn in by the zipper of the jacket.

Text is all hand-done either in a normal handwriting font, a block print font, or a sign-painting brush type font.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

For the good of the public health, it is highly desirable that all prejudice against beer should be removed. This prejudice is held exclusively by people who do not drink beer -- AND IT IS FOR THEM ESPECIALLY THAT THIS ADVERTISEMENT HAS BEEN PREPARED.

When people say "Raise The Rates" of welfare income: it is not that we just don't think regular inflation boosts aren't enough. It's that inflation boosts DON'T EXIST. OW is the SAME number it has been since 2018. That is a death sentence.

nat @vagaybond.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
I think also, that people need to understand that welfare has not increased. Maybe you get a raise with inflation every year, idk. OW hasn't had a single increase since 2018. (When it was raised by $33 LMAO.) Not for inflation. Not even by cents. It has been the same number with NO adjustments.

if I say a t-shirt shouldn't cost $60 and you tell me that's a "fair price" I'm going to need to demand proof your workers are unionized and paid a living wage. I think too many people are taking advantage in acknowledging people deserve better pay by increasing prices w/o action.

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
