Just cancelled my Audible membership. In the ‘tell us why you’re canceling’ box I entered wrote ‘Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.’ A tiny and probably meaningless act of resistance, but it’s what I got today. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Voted, though it really feels like pissing into the wind in a riding that has voted conservative for generations. Sigh.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

When my non-binary kid made the hard decision to use a gender marker other than X on their passport to avoid challenges while travelling, we never imagined that the USA would be one of those countries.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. From the Sam the Record Man on Dundas Street, I’m guessing summer of 1984

Have I shared my wrapped rocks here yet? I love collecting the rocks and wrapping them in just about anything (yarn, twine, cord, leather, beads, ephemera) in about equal measure.

When everything else is scary AF, the forest is a sanctuary - even the tiny little ones on suburban trails. Thank you, trees.

In the current world climate, I’m grateful to live in a city that observes Kindness Week.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Quordle and Wordle with my morning coffee, then Connections, Strandz and often Soduko after dinner. My inner child that had a subscription to Games Magazine in 1981 is highly satisfied.

Who has been cancelled in Canada? Who? Canadians are allergic to anyone having enough fame in-country for cancellations to matter. And John A. Macdonald was a racist, genocidal misogynist.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment - d20 - random bits of rock and acorns and sea glass - employee badge on a lanyard (only for 28 more days!!!!) - my Swiss army knife - Dentyne mint gum

The world is a complicated mess, but my best friend is in the kitchen making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for me because he knows they are my favourite. It’s good to be loved. Here’s to the tiny joys that make the rest bearable.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.
