Just gonna throw this out there... I wouldn't mind finding some IRL social connections with other artists or creative types in the Greater #Toronto Area. I love the online community here, but I have no in-person interactions at all, and that kinda stinks!

Not looking for professional networking or educational groups, more just friendly get-together stuff for people connected by a common interest or shared experiences. Any locals who might be into that or in the know, toss me a line?

Cool that you're sharing a CIA manual about disrupting orgs, now share Riot Medicine with that same "just in case" energy you weirdos

I am gonna try another shout out for local folks (every 6mos another pile of people join the fediverse)

I am looking for meatspace friends in the #guelph area. Super low key, hang out, walks, errands, watch movies, drink tea.

Added bonus if you like cooking/baking and/or are interested in #intentionalCommunities - I need some help zhuzhing up the kitchen heart of the nascent community I'm now in.

Am in a satellite town just east of Guelph propper, #kitchenerWaterloo folks might work too.

Great idea: Canada's response to the Trump tariffs should be to back out of the Intellectual Property law that America foisted on them as part of NAFTA. That would allow Canadian companies to offer third party app stores and jailbreaking services. This would hurt the profits of America's biggest companies and the billionaires supporting Trump, and benefit literally everyone else in the world. @pluralistic is a genius.

If you, like me, took this long to finally decide to stop buying #ebooks from #amazon, you might want to know that #kobo is a Canadian/Japanese company. And yes, there are ways how to actually own #books that you buy there.

If you’ve heard about the 50501 protest (“50 protests in 50 states”), PLEASE be advised that it is really fishy. People in our local organizing community and in other states have looked into it and cannot find the organizers. Especially if you are a new activist, please get in contact with local long-time activist orgs and get plugged in. Learn from them!

In the words of a very good friend:

Remember kids, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"they stopped talking about luigi mangione to silence us" his next court appearance is 9:00 AM at the New York Supreme Criminal Court, 100 Centre Street, February 21.

the reference number is IND-75657-24/001. it is within your constitutional rights to protest outside of the courthouse, make signs, and voice your opinions as loudly as you can. YOU don't have to stop talking about him. show up, my friends from abroad.

fuck you

#alerta #seattle

These misleading signs have been posted around South Seattle, if you see these pieces of litter you should remove them and help them find their way to a dumpster.

The signs are in Spanish and claim to offer a house for rent with no deposit requirements. However the phone number seems to forward some calls to the voice mail for Seattle Mayors office and likely logs your calls!

Clearly some dumb boot licker or #ICE put these up to troll Spanish speakers.
