Hey folks, I know Giving Tuesday was yesterday and I purposefully avoided it because there's many causes that deserve your dollars more than us. If you have something left, I'm contributing more to keep our community alive than what we're getting in, and I know that we can fix that. If everyone who read this contributed $5, we'd be in a much better position, paying off backed-up invoices. If everyone who read this committed $10 monthly, it'd pay off our hardware deficit. The hardware I bought to get us off the cloud, I bore the entire $25,000 cost. I'm fine with this as long as we can chip away at it... But as it is, we're not. Right now we're $453 behind on monthly costs. The physical servers are fine at being chipped down, knowing we're solidified for years to come. To donate via PayPal:

So over the weekend, the UCP passed policy: Anti-flouride "Clean" coal Denying climate change Anti-vaccine Anti-abortion Solidified anti-trans positions Supported book bans Banned critical thinking and intelligence Did I miss anything?

Fresh from the UCP AGM… The UCP have it as official party policy now to start limiting access to women’s reproductive health care. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

The one fucking exposed wire and it had to be an $80 fibre cable. This is the second fucking cable. I’m going to murder this motherfucking cat.

I’m sure this will go just fine and that there’s absolutely no reason for concern here whatsoever. Alberta government eyes AI to write legislation for 1st time | CBC Calgary #ableg #abpoli #AI https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-ai-dale-nally-alberta-whisky-act-nate-glubish-9.6988138

Yesterday, on the amendment of the Consideration of Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor’s Speech, the UCP had the opportunity to reject separatism. They did not. #ableg #abpoli

This could be the beginning of the end for the Canadian Health Act. We have to push back as hard as possible on this. Alberta plans to allow doctors to deliver public and private services | Globe and Mail (Gift article link) #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

Alberta plans to allow doctors to deliver public and private services

Draft legislation would establish a model for medicine unlike any other in Canada

I suppose it goes to show that being a petulant baby and constantly picking fights with Ottawa earns you exactly… zero major projects. If Danielle thinks a partnership is one way, I have concerns about her other relationships. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli
