There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • She might have been contracted rather than an employee, and may have already completed her contract. But either way it’s fuzzy. She could have grounds to dispute it, because:

    1. She wasn’t acting as a representative of the company or it’s views.

    2. She was using her independent social media account.

    3. Her sometimes incendiary, political social media presence was a known entity and apparently discussed, and might even be considered part of her brand, unless her contract outlined what she could and couldn’t say for x amount of time after completing her contract.

    4. The book was already printed and shipped, their recall could be considered retaliation for her political views, since they don’t apply the same rules across the board, and the recall would hurt her worse than them.








  • The amount of corporate bios I’ve read that talk about wives, husbands and family is astounding.

    But I’m not totally sure what this is. It looks like someone joining the community to work for free? I might be wrong. If that’s the case they should be allowed to write whatever the hell they want as long as it’s not hurtful.

    And super weird they’d take out “queer” but leave the furry thing. Not that there’s anything wrong with either.




  • This article prioritizes the conflict between the protesters and the first nation, with about three sentences regarding the conflict with the RCMP. It seems to intentionally obfuscate the fact the protesters were working under the guidance of local indigenous people and their primary conflict was, repeatedly, with the police.

    Non violent protestors were pepper sprayed, arrested, injured, stolen from, and abused. They were charged, and settled with conditions that barred them from participation in future protests, fined them, as well as impeded their ability to work and live.

    It was one of the largest protests in Canadian history and it was hidden by algorithms on social media. There was barely any detailed news about it, even at the time.






  • It’s absolutely insane that people can’t keep well maintained animals on their own property when just anyone can have uneutered cats and dogs, exotic bird, pigeons, rats and even cockroaches. A city nearby has voters opposing urban chickens because:

    1. They don’t want their kids to see chickens getting butchered next door.

    2. The roosters will be loud and wake everyone up.

    Meanwhile my neighbour’s car alarm goes off three times a day and the dog barks all night.
