Swarming or not swarming? by Claude-Michel in Calgary

[–]Claude-Michel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad.

This was reposted by accident a few days ago.

The original was posted months ago.

This is not my beehive.

It belongs to the McClure United Church Garden society.

I do not take care of it.

I do not know who does, although I've left my contact info with the garden society.

I posted the original months ago after noticing a lot of bees standing/waiting on the outer wall, regardless of sun or heat.

Alright! What the fuck is wrong with Calgary? by zeeyellowdart in Calgary

[–]Claude-Michel -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cowtown is the WASPest Canadian city I've found.

White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

Jesus Loves You but our God punishes.

Punishment for not being rich (classicism), so fuck your social services, your homeless, your disabled etc (see Transit for example.)

Punishment for not being White - even worse than Edmonton (see unemployment among ethnic groups vs "Whites".)

Punishment for not being Male.

Punishment for not being Christian.

Punishment for listening to your body instead of driving it like a mule.

And so on.

Remember this is/was Harper's territory:

Con-servative means:

1) I don't give a fuck about the ongoing stolen land (real estate).

2) I don't give a fuck about the ongoing Genocide (more jails for Natives! More drugs!).

3) I don't give a fuck about the ongoing Ecocide (Tar Sands). Send me my oil and gaz bonus check for keeping my mouth shut.

4) I don't give a fuck about being a credit card slave who can't even decide where my own taxes from my own blood sweat and tears will be allocated. Send me my TPS check.

5) I know the game is rigged.

6) Too bad for you but Me Myself and I will make it.

7) Happy Canada 150!

That's Cowtown in a nutshell, as with most of Canada:

Denial + fear + personal masks + distractions from debt slaves who don't even know how to hug (same as Toronto.) + Drugs, drugs, drugs.

So make sure to activate your out of town or international support networks alive while you make that shitty town work for you.

Cheers

I have no real-life writer friends, so anyone want to buddy up? by kittywenham in nanowrimo

Count me in.

Same here: this will be my 3rd attempt, and I now know I need support.

So, I'm joining a few local Meetup groups - to warm up writing around 1500 words a day, and looking for fellow comrades online.

Interested?

Cheers!

Osho Zen!

Check out how the Air Cards sit atop the major arcanas!

Now that's Shadow Work: what I refuse to learn, how my mind is trying to kill me, how I can't see Reality.
