PSA for anyone with an #Amazon #Kindle or even just any #kindlebooks , they are about to permanently remove the ability to download books to your computer. Your last day to use this functionality is February 26, 2025, so you have about a week. There are no easy ways to grab it all at once, but it's worth it to me to be able to access my 500+ #ebooks so I'm clicking on them one by one anyway. Amazon has been very quiet about it, so spread the word.

Well holy high speed rail Batman, they’re building it!!

Initial planning cost of $4 Billion, final construction of the 1000km, 300kph line between Toronto and Quebec City could be up to the cost of 4 #TMX pipelines. ($80B).

Montreal to Toronto in 3hrs.

A large consortium is the winning bid and includes France’s SNCF and Air Canada.

Real talk here folks:

My rent is more than my entire #ODSP cheque.

I have $1000/mo health costs not covered by #OHIP

I have been sent home from ER instead of admitted because of bed availability, not my need for care.

There have been times I've been left alone literally starving in my home without care or support.

If you care about affordable housing, health care, or the social safety net actually catching you, #VOTE Feb 27th.

NAACP lists companies that dump #DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans - I love the idea of a ‘tactical spending guide’. #NoBuy #Boycott #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMastodon #BLM https://apnews.com/article/black-consumers-dei-buying-guide-naacp-34664d8af92e2dc1ba787a498348b7a4

The Three Sisters are squash, beans, and corn, grown together by indigenous Americans whose roots invigorate the soil and help one another grow. Haudenosaunee myth has them being a byproduct of Earth Mother's dying desire to sustain her children with good food. #MythologyMonday

A straight white guy friend was complaining about not being able to find any gaming groups for WoW that weren't full of MAGA assholes. He said he keeps joining guilds with older (60+) casual gamers like himself because he can't keep up with the kids, and he'll start to make friends, but then they will reveal themselves to be Trump-lovers. He asked, "What am I doing wrong?"

I said, "First of all, your screen name is Russian. Leftys are gonna be wary of that, and the Alt-right loves it.
Second, you should put some social signals in your bio, like pronouns."

"Okay, but how do I tell people I'm cool, but I'm not gay or trans?"
I explained to him what "cis" and "ally" mean. He had never heard of this before, which showed me what kind of online spaces he was landing in.

Next, I said, "Look for the furries."
"But, I'm not a furry?"
"Yes, but the presence of furries are like lichen. They are a sign of a healthy ecosystem."

This was about 3 months ago. Now, he tells me he joined a guild labeled as LGBTQ-friendly and has made several new cool friends. He says, "I thought they would be talking about sex all the time but it's just a regular group." He mentioned that there are many women and PoC in the group too, and "Everyone's so nice on dungeon runs, telling people they did a good job and being supportive, sharing loot."

I didn't tell him that this is what the whole world would be like without patriarchal toxic masculinity, because I think he figured it out himself.
