✨🫧💞 PODCAST ANNOUNCEMENT 💞🫧✨ TOMORROW, I will be dropping the FIRST EPISODE of my new weekly podcast: Bubble Pop with Rachel Gilmore! It'll be posted on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music...wherever you like to listen. The links will all be available in my bio. I couldn't be more excited:

‼️NEW VIDEO‼️ ❄️Atmospheric rivers bring extreme snowfall to West Antarctica. 🌧️But they also bring rain, even when temperatures are sub-zero. Supercool, right? 😎 Watch it here ▶️ youtu.be/0-zLGu2t_e0

There must be a full RCMP investigation, an Auditor-General investigation, and a public inquiry into these extremely troubling allegations. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

This is all really terrifying… America, the ‘great superpower’ is being set on fire by a private sector ketamine addict and the dems are… leisurely enjoying their weekend? At this point dems are complicit through their absence. I am just… aghast

If you’re Canadian and want to know what you can do right now for vulnerable people in the US: BARRAGE the Canadian government with demands to end the Safe Third Country Agreement and to explicitly state that they will welcome and consider LGBTQ asylum claims from the US. #CanPoli

I couldn't agree more. As legislators, trans people have so many issues we care about and want to pass policy on (infrastructure, housing, healthcare, etc.) But as TRANS legislators, we must first and foremost stand defiantly against the efforts of our government to eradicate our community.

In Alberta, get behind this campaign. #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #NeverUCP #NeverNicolaides #StopTheExcuses

🪧Safe Staffing *IS* Safe Patient Care! ✊From Slave Lake to Lethbridge and Claresholm to Two Hills, Alberta nurses rallied for safe staffing, safe patient care, and public health care! Thank you to everyone who showed support by joining today's Day of Action! #Alberta #ableg #abhealth

NEW: Meta’s new policy that allows users to deny the existence of gay and transgender persons seems to be incompatible with Canadian law, which has found that those kinds of statements are hate speech. www.antihate.ca/facebook_met...

I got accredited for the foreign interference commission which means I can go into the lockup and get early access to the report to prep breaking coverage >:) Just debating whether I can swing the travel costs. The only reason it’s even an option is thanks to my subs. SOO THANK YOU I LOVE YOU 💞✨

I know there are 10,000 things right now but please consider contacting your rep and asking them to vote NO on HR-28 which would ban trans and intersex kids from playing sports.

The UCP just voted to increase their own pay, increase their own budget, and give themselves a nice golden parachute when they leave politics. Paid for by YOUR tax dollars. But they’ve done nothing to increase your pay, help stretch your budget or secure your future. They’re not in it for you.

These are the true victims of intimate partner violence. #231CallsToJustice #TrcJustice #Cdn #femicideawareness gofund.me/6079ccee

My dudes.. if you’re following, commenting, sharing and worse, believing anything from YEG Wave, you’re falling for Russian propaganda. Unfollowed a bunch of followers of anti Trudeau accounts promoting this crap. It’s so depressing watching our own turn on each other from Russian foreign influence.

The best way to do this is to subscribe to my YouTube and to Bubble Pop 💞✨ YouTube: youtube.com/@atrachelgil... Bubble Pop: rachelgilmore.substack.com 🎅🏻🎄✨

Richard Armitage heaps praise on his trans Netflix co-star Mary Malone: ‘It has been a revelation’

What the UCP did this legislative session was pretty awful. But don’t lose sight of what they didn’t do - costs for many basics are highest in AB, and the gap between the rich and everyone else is widest here. The UCP did nothing about that… unless you count making it worse.

To bring you a smile☺️

Since yesterday I was talking about Gates McFadden’s struggles to get behind the camera opportunities, it’s time for me to share a story about the Doctor and how she’s one of the reasons I’m a Professor. 🧵 (Here’s us at the 2024 #StarTrek convention #STLV)

Disturbing news: The Alberta Forest Products Association (AFPA) wants the federal govt to reform Canada's Species at Risk Act (SARA) to allow for the logging of old growth forests including critical habitat for at-risk woodland caribou www.woodbusiness.ca/final-cut-fr... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

Please listen to how scared Albertan children are and how alone they feel: #abpoli

Friendly reminder that I run a personal transphobe blacklist. It’s public so that any other folks sick of dealing with trolls & ‘phobes can subscribe to it themselves! I add transphobes to this list each time I stumble upon them— or as they reveal themselves. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The funding from Alberta health for my bottom surgery has been APPROVED!!!!🥰

As of today, cougars can be hunted on the Alberta side of Cypress Hills Provincial Park. It's just the latest expansion of hunting under Todd Loewen, minister of parks and forestry — an avid hunter whose family runs a outfitting company. #ableg thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coug...

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.
