So over the past week I've been researching and putting together a list of Canada-made art supplies. 🎨 🇨🇦 (thanks to everyone who reached out with their favourite brands! 🙏)

Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

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:
