Pedro Pascal calls out ‘vile’ transphobia as he doubles down on trans allyship

The thing about this video with Trudeau & Miller is that you know that no such video of Poilievre exists, or ever can exist. I'm a f*cking Indian, I have serious issues with this country, but I'll never hate it as much as PP does. This is home, and I can't hate someone who sees it the same way.

Please know that if you're a friend or acquaintance of mine and you're publishing on Substack, I would very much like you to leave them and their bigot-and-nazi-supporting-leadership behind. Many people already have. You can do it! Begin the baby steps today.

Ketamine therapy on Tuesday, psychiatrist the week after. Slowly but surely, I'm gritting my way through this. Existence is resistance, and self care is a real priority. The world is going to shit, but you have to look after yourself. Be gentle with yourself when you can. Love yourself. 🧡❤️‍🩹🧡

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

Amid Canadian Flag Day celebrations, Indigenous Peoples issue 47-minute long exasperated sigh

Residential schools and Indian boarding schools were created to "kill the Indian" They stole small children and placed them in these "schools" The last residential school in Canada closed in 1997.

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.

Between this & anti-vaxx eugenicist RFK Jr being sworn in, things are going to be dire. Canadians : It is never too late to start masking again if you stopped. I mask everywhere & it can be hard sometimes but it's worth it. Avian flu, Covid-19, RSV, influenza : Masking helps mitigate all of it.

So, turns out I'm getting ANOTHER football helmet unexpectedly. Got an email from my mom's season ticket account manager today saying that they had a Riddell Axiom available, and would I still like it. Glad that they're finally making things right. Made my day, to be honest. 🧡

Just booked my first laser session in more than a year. I had hoped starting electrolysis meant that I was done with laser, turns out that nope, I get to do both! Yay? I fucking hate facial hair...

Not up to posting much today. 11 years ago, my child left this world, MMIW. She left me and her passing was under suspicious circumstances. The police did not investigate properly and we had no one to help. I was so broken, unable to press for her death to be investigated. Years later, me and the

A hot bath on a cold day may not solve my problems, but it at least makes them seem more manageable.

Normalize replacing the term "LGBTQ+" with "queer". It's a universal term, and it makes it harder for them to divide us.

Absolutely. Their goal is to enforce gender roles upon EVERYONE. Transphobes *know* that logistically policing what bathroom's people can use based on their genitals is not feasible. What they want is to enforce strict gender roles on how we *all* present and dress - emphasis on "force".

I've said it before... killing the CBC when the U.S. is using U.S. owned media to propagandize for the destruction of Canada would be smashing all the fire alarms when an arsonist has threatened to burn your house down.

The downside of a psychiatrist who only works at the Veterans Affairs clinic once a week is that it can take a little bit of time to get in to see them. Really looking forward to getting my anxiety meds adjusted, the last few weeks have really shot my baseline anxiety through the roof...
