WTF is it with the CBSA lately and their whackadoodle classification of things bought from out of country? I find myself paying tariffs on things that seem to border on the edge of some classification and things I've never paid duty on before.

They're getting nuts.

Inside occupied Ukraine’s most effective resistance movements¹

Even small acts of resistance matter.

For Ivan, co-founder and coordinator of the Yellow Ribbon civil resistance movement, this was already clear in the very first weeks of the full-scale invasion, when he and his colleagues were caught in Russian-occupied Kherson.

Their simple idea of tying yellow ribbons all over the city gained national attention, becoming a model for resistance across Ukraine.

Doctors denied that my crohns disease was real for 9 months and nearly killed me. They said the pints of blood I was losing were psychological and that I was 'stressed'.

Today a doctor refused to refer me to a neurologist after 3.5 years of a new post covid auto immune disease and said it's 'stress' based.

Denying it was post covid essentially.

The UK is diagnosing 50% of the post covid auto immune disease that the US and Germany are.

Absolute fucking morons.

Interesting interaction the other day.

A Facebook acquaintance asked me where I was posting these days and I told them Fediverse/Mastodon and gave them my profile URL.

Never heard from them again.

Daniel Herriges at #StrongTowns:

"[T]he problem is too frighteningly big, too glaring to stare directly at it. As the engineer responsible for a city’s streets, if you admit in any case that there is a moral and ethical imperative to fix a deadly street before it claims another life, then surely you have to admit it in every case. But as soon as you do, the problem reaches staggering proportions."
