ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Right now, for a lot of Canadians the temptation is to ignore Indigenous people because the threats from the US seem way more important. This turn to fervent and ignorant nationalism is a mistake. Don't alienate the people who know more about your "country" than you do. Find common cause instead.

As seen in the bathroom at my kids’ school. Pay the custodial staff whatever they are asking for, and throw in extra for making them go to the trouble of asking.

Okay if this dweeb can declare himself a king because he was an early employee at Roblox, I get to be God-Emperor of Dune because I was at Viz when they got the Naruto license which is WAY more important to modern life

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy. Full stop. Your body belongs to you and nobody else gets to decide what you do to it. Have an abortion. Take HRT. Have sex for money. Have sex for free. Have no sex at all. Gain weight. Lose weight. Get a tattoo. What's right for you is your right.

If this is accurate (and I’m not qualified to judge), then - depending on vote efficiency- the CPC is only tickling majority territory rather than having it in the bag. I’ll need to see more like this to be shaken from my “cake walk” theory of the coming election. But I’d be happy to be wrong.

The odds of us getting Poilievre are a lot higher than I like but that doesn't mean we should treat him as inevitable

To reiterate a post from the Other Site, for most of the last four thousand+ years, the vast majority of people living in cities got takeout. Many apartments lacked kitchens due to space and fire risk. Cooking yourself 7 fresh, varied meals a week is a VERY recent expectation.

NOPE, we are not going to make UHC restricting ABA "therapy" a scandal. Autistic adults who survived it as children describe it as torture. It should be illegal and I don't give a fuck if they're only doing it to save money, it's an unambiguous good to reduce the hours we torture autistic kids.

Signed the petition about Singal. I wish the writers had focused on Bluesky as a whole rather than T&S, because I think that the problem is likely executive meddling rather than T&S suddenly turning incompetent. But I think the petition's still useful to make complaints heard. chng.it/2CwpHcrM4v

This case is terrifying for me. Many folk have said that Neely bares some blame for his death because of his behavior. As someone with Tourette Syndrome, including some loud and disruptive tics, I'm very aware that if some vigilante choked me to death on public transport some would cheer

Governments: people are struggling financially so we're going to send them money to help with the cost of living. Me: ah, so you agree that Universal Basic Income would be an effective way to equalize society's wealth gap? Governments: Yessir, one-time cheques to struggling people and no more.

Caught political despair from social media, joined the NDP and also the NDP Socialist Caucus mailing list. Don't know a lot about how the party actually works but I figure if I want to see it to take a more progressive stand on things it's probably time I started learning. #cdnpoli
