I’m still not over the City of Windsor in Ontario closing down high school libraries

Um, yes, it should be one of THE issues but we live in a world where all that matters is vibes and nothing is real

I had such a lovely westend mural tour today with Curated Tastes. It was so rainy, but it was a great way to learn more about our community and local histories. 📧 I recommend signing up to their newsletter for upcoming events! curatedtastes.art

A while ago, I made an IG post to explain some of the material threats to life and wellbeing that trans people are currently facing - just cross-posted to Substack since I heard some folks are finding it useful to share What’s At Stake for Trans People In 2025 open.substack.com/pub/kaicheng...

If anyone has any leads on funding for creating a free, online Indigenous language course lemme know. Just the money, I got the rest.

Ok so I just heard the loudest noise then a flash of orange in Deep Cove. Did anyone see anything? That was frightening.

Will grocers in Canada be prevented from hiking costs of non-tariffed food? Because I can see them yanking up costs to just below U.S. products, taking the difference and then acting like the good guys cuz it's still "cheaper."

Think the tariffs are bad? Keep you eye on what really matters -- how corporations will use this moment to profiteer, and how our govenrment doesn't seem to care enough to stop them. noraloreto.substack.com/p/ok-but-wha...

As you consider shopping and consuming only Canadian products, go a step further to support local when you purchase your goods, services, and experience from these Indigenous owned and operated businesses in BC. Please share & suggest more! #buyBC #BuyCanada #ShopBC #ShopCanada #BuyIndigenous

Soon enough, it’ll become impossible to be a trans person in the U.S.A. The government of Canada must step up, meet its international humanitarian law, anti-genocide, and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms obligations, and rescind the Safe Third Country Agreement immediately.

Holy eff Supposedly left-center NDP has just fired the *entire* Victoria school board in order to reverse the ban on cops in schools. The democratically elected school board was supported by Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils to keep cops out of schools. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Friends making dinner for you is underrated. Nothing like a shared yum to soothe the tum.

Just remember that this happened under a Liberal government.

No jurisdiction that has reduced homelessness has ever done the following: - frame the solution as the problem - reduce housing and supports - turn low-income housing into high-income housing - use human lives as a negotiating tool www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Netflix's Sakamoto Days is such a fun anime, only 3 episodes so far, but I am really loving it. Sakamoto, a retired hitman who is now a shopowner with a family, is reluctantly great at everything, with a slew of assassins trying to murder him in his wake.
