'Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West...
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.' (E.A. Poe)

Cycling on Mastodon & BlueSky, not here anymore Have you watched The Family on Netflix? The Church I went to in the 90s in Saskatoon was/is like this. Hell that's how Randy Donauer got his position. They wanted politicians to change the country for God. This included education, healthcare, social programs. It hasn't stopped.

If you want to join Bluesky message me. I have a few codes.
It's a somewhat more civilized version of xTwitter.

At a coffee shop today:
'Yes there is a conspiracy, it's evangelical fundamentalist Christianity's plot to infiltrate people into gov't. It started in the 1980s in the US & spread to Canada with Stephen Harper. It is firmly entrenched in #Sask & #Alberta today'
Not wrong.

The Times & Sunday Times foreign correspondent is sharing news that Tucker Carlson has been in Moscow the last 3 days, ~ a week after Danielle Smith joined him for shows in Calgary & Edmonton Alberta.

Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) for mental health. I'm a shrink & gen against
-poor MH treatment access: medication not enough

Rude but not far wrong: its who's doing it to #Sask that troubles me.
'We're all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit.'

Risky play for children, without helicoptering parents. Finally the excessive focus on preventing every little harm with side effect of child fear & anxiety is being broadly challenged. A plug for a local forest school. (Fam member teaches there.)
