Honestly, it wasn't something I ever really thought about until Orange Is The New Black. Before that it was just the letter T that came at the end of LGBT, and honestly? I wasn't even 100% sure what the T stood for. What made me care? Learning about trans history as part of Pride Month.

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

I feel like I've never been better prepped for a #DnD session than I am for the one-shot I'm running tomorrow. Yeah, sure, it's only three scenes and one combat, but I've got stat blocks and initiative trackers and loot lists and maps and everything done and ready to go.

This is the longest line I've ever been in to vote, and I've been voting for a quarter of a century, and this is the early voting poll. I'm not going to say that this is predictive of any particular result, but it is showing a level of engagement that I'm not used to seeing. Which is good!

I have three hills that I'm willing to die on, politically: 1- First Past The Post needs to go. 2- Every use of the Notwithstanding Clause is an admission by the government that they're infringing on your rights. 3- Every tax cut is paid for with reduced services.

The whole fucking point of "due process" is that everyone gets it. Everyone. All people. Timothy McVeigh and Mark David Chapman and Ken Lay and Harvey Weinstein and also guys who stole candy bars from 7-11 and ran stop signs. The worst monsters on earth and the most angelic sweeties. Everyone!

"Welcome back, Jesus! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" "Sorry about that." "That's alright, we've been worshipping you the whole time. We call your birthday Christmas, the day you died Good Friday, and your resurrection is called Easter!" "Hold up. What do you call the day I died?"

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

I wasn’t planning on watching the debate just because I hate looking and listening to the weaselly Poilievre

So... I guess any food that I was willing to buy imported from the USA after the tariffs hit are now officially off the market.

The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. We always have been and we always will be. As long as there's a Vagina Museum, we cannot be bullied or bought to change our stance on this.

Let's all be very clear: This is happening in Canada, too. At last night's leadership debate Rebel News had five people in the press scrum, while the CBC, Globe & Mail, and CTV were only allowed one each.

If you're wondering why blood is spurting from my eyes, ears, and nose, I don't have some kind of novel disease, it's because I read this story this morning and my blood rage cannot be contained to my body

If you want to be comforted about the state of the world, I strongly advise avoiding the Royal Ontario Museum's Auschwitz exhibit. There's a lot of parallels going on in multiple parts of the world right now. It's a great exhibit, but boy howdy does it ever highlight history repeating itself.

For those asking why the post-debate scrums are stacked with far-right alternative media personalities, the answer is they obtained a court order to attend these things

It's 4°C outside and this bar is pumping cold air in. I'm about to put my winter coat on and I'm about as far from the front door as a person can get.

I straight up do not want to know. I'm assuming weird cult shit that would get a poorer man a visit from child protection services, assuming Musk hasn't totally defunded CPS already.

Because we all need some positivity in our life, here's a happy story from today. At Christmas my nephews gave me a gift certificate for Chef Grande Shawarma here in Southern Ontario, and today I used it. The food is excellent, I highly recommend it. That's not the story I'm here to tell though.
