Before the Usual Time is a short book (180 pages) that spans multiple indigenous cultures. I appreciated getting a taste of each of the authors' experiences and cultures, and the poems are approachable for those new to poetry. The stories are inventive and the writing is excellent. I'd highly recommend it!

  • Leanna Marshall - Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (Ontario)
  • Emma Petahtegoose - Atikameksheng Anishnawbek
  • Joan Naviuyuk Kane - Inupiaq
  • Ardelle Sagutcheway - Eabametoong (Ontario)
  • Craig Santos Perez - Chamorro Guahan (Guam)
  • Sherwin Bitsui - Diné of the Todich'ii'nii (Arizona)
  • Chuquai Billy - Lakota Sioux/Choctaw (New Mexico)
  • David Groulx - Ojibway (Ontario)
  • Sy Hoahwah - Comanche/Southern Arapaho
  • Cathy Smith - Mohawk

When saying tariffs are bad do you mean we need universal total free trade between provinces and countries, in the Libertarian sense?

Are you referring to some part of the video? The narrator did not use the word "tariffs" even once.

We can do both. Free Palestine!

Here's a video explainer about the research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trQWfmH2OO4

That research was more about the haptics. This new research is more about projecting a volumetric hologram that can also be interacted with directly.

Man, Waymo was one of the more exciting things I was looking forward to, but I guess I should have waited for the other shoe to drop. Disappointing.

Yeah! The recliner seats at Market Square are great.

Sorry to be this person, but I want to warn the community about a pattern I've seen with flyweather's posts.

I think he has been running this grift for several months now, where he posts a sob story and suggests that he just needs ~$50 more dollars to pay for something or another. I've fallen for it and given him money a few times already.

He also posts on other Lemmy communities and on reddit as well. He goes by PaintRush and other accounts. He has been an atheist kicked out of his house, a queer person kicked out of his house, a homeless person looking for food, a stabbing victim looking to pay for an ambulance, a person diagnosed with ADHD, an amputee paying for a prosthetic, etc.

He usually deletes his posts shortly after someone actually sends him money.

I generally want to help people, but I think he's just taking advantage of several communities at this point. Maybe some part of his story is true, but he's changed it so many times now, it may all be made up.

They are seeking an injunction first, with a court hearing later on. Last I checked, they plan to contest the removal as a violation of the Charter of Rights given that it will lead to injuries and loss of life.

Here are the grounds from the Notice of Application from December:

  1. The Ontario Government has embarked on an ill-conceived, arbitrary, and hurried legislative campaign against people who ride bikes in the City of Toronto by mandating the removal of approximately 19 kilometres of protected bike lanes in each direction on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue (the "Target Bike Lanes"). It has done so in full awareness of, or lacking all concern about, the increased number of injuries and deaths that will result.
  2. This reckless legislative act infringes the rights of people who ride bikes (used interchangeably with "cyclists"), other road users, and/or pedestrians in the City of Toronto under s.7 of the Charter by depriving them of life and security of the person contrary to principles of fundamental justice.
  3. There is no rational connection between the purported object of the law (reducing traffic congestion and gridlock) and its effect. The seriousness of the increased risk of death or serious injury to cyclists is entirely disproportionate to that ostensible objective.

Ah, well their donation link is on their website, under the "About Us" section. They just use buymeacoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/isitfromcanada, if you want to contribute.

I recently learned about this black-owned bookstore in Toronto, and their website has a filter for Canadian authors:

Are you talking about more dependencies from a developer's point of view? I get that to a degree, but from a user's point of view, isn't AMP technically better, especially now that it's open source?
