I'm raising money for Sage Haven Society in Port Alberni
http://walk.w-ith.me/chris
I've raised my bar this year to $2000 in honour of Ellen Frood, their former and amazing executive director who has done so much for our community and passed away suddenly last year.

Mastodon has been so amazing. Any amount helps.
Thanks.❤️

Doing further research into the origins of the Abrahamic religions following my essay on The Claimants to the Tortured Land, I learn that by a supreme irony, #Israel itself is named after...
Drumroll....
A CANAANITE DEITY.
Yes, that's right. The name 'Israel' honours not יהוה‎, but El.

And yes, you should feel like a piece of shit if someone calls you out on Nazi bootlicking.
That feeling is your brain telling you that you’re doing it wrong.
That feeling is what’s left of your conscience.

It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act.

Mark Carney Took the Stand the Rest of the World Must Now Take

NATO countries will launch a brand new operation in the Arctic this week,
following US claims that the island of Greenland is facing serious threats from China and Russia.
The Western military alliance is expected to launch "Arctic Sentry", three people with knowledge of the plans said,
in a move to deter foreign adversaries in the high north.
