@ascentale @bikenite A8. The city was cutting back plow-created snow banks in my neighbourhood. There has been a record amount of snow in Waterloo Region this year! ️

@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis I’m a huge fan of the respectful discussion here, and the aspirational idea that there can be disagreements within the NDP without it fracturing. ️

@valthonis Yes! Also, the act of sketching/writing helps with thinking through and understanding any problem. The *process* is an important part of getting to a solution/artifact that worth *anything* at all. Plus it’s fun ️

@wndxlori @AndrewHenry I also like “legacy surveillance platforms”, but your suggestion is likely more effective ️

@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis Yes! Shift sharply to the left, and shift power from its comfortable centralized establishment to its members.

@leftylabourtech @markgrieveson @avilewis The key point for me in this article:

“What is clear, however, is that the NDP leader must be able to show they represent a genuine alternative to neoliberalism, and that requires going beyond any federal or provincial branch of recent decades. The case for holding back, to the degree it ever existed, has fallen apart.”

@paulbusch @taylorlorenz Oooo! That’s an awesome analogy! As someone who has been at many of both type of events, it completely resonates with me ️

@commonst @EllenInEdmonton FWIW, for me CBC Gem is well with its modest monthly price.

@ascentale @bikenite A1. I’m in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Still covered with snow and with colder temperatures (-15°C as I type this). Relatedly, nothing new with my bike today ‍️️️

@DJGristle @cthulku Beautiful! Thanks for sharing ️️

@ClintonAnderson I’m excited by the possibility that he drags the CPC down with him ️

@reece What is it about them that’s impressed you? What do they do well?

@ascentale @Cyclist @bikenite A5. At a high level, the experience of traveling *in* the world rather than *through* the world is biggest benefit for me. I get to hear and see things that I would miss in a car. I get to engage with people I pass with “hello” and waves. In general, I get to be far more present and in the moment. These things bring me joy!

Also, when I cycle to a brewery patio I can get home safely ‍️️

@geonz @goldenmeanie @ascentale @skyfaller @bikenite Brilliant advocacy strategy ️

@Bee @LifeTimeCooking I’m responding to add hashtags! And in my timeline you’ll find my own sauerkraut posts ️

@EllenInEdmonton Same! Bearing witness is important, and it can easily go too far.

I’m going to have to spend some time weeding my timeline garden (translation: updating my filters)

It’s tough, because it’s uplifting to read about USA resistance, but difficult to handle the large amount of dystopian USA news.
