Personally I would be more willing to pay for a social media website that made protecting marginalized people a core part of its business than one that offers them up as bait for bigots. That's my preference

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Great news! With $1.9M in emergency assistance to renters last fiscal year, the BC Rent Bank saved renters $16.1M - while the BC Government saved $11.4M through lower public expenditures for health care, child welfare, and housing services. 👍🏾 👇🏾 bcrentbank.ca/news/evictio...

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France. They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see." They refute much of the Cass Review. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-french...

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

Our leaders fight us for every square inch of bike lane but everywhere you look you can find millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on car travel, the most expensive, inefficient and dangerous form of travel in cities.

please, I am begging you, do not tell Nate Silver about Bluesky. Let him think we're all at Bluekoy, as site he tried briefly but to which he will never return.

Since Twitter is now X and it has stupid new names for posts etc over there, can we take back the word “tweets” for the posts we make here on BlueSky? I think so. This is a tweet, now. Screw you, X, you had a great platform before you blew it. This is ours now.

So I just lost my shit on radio when panelist said a solution to afford to live in Toronto is to increase to 60 hour work week. I said solution is living wage, affordable housing and Ford not wasting our money on private spas - not for the working poor to work harder FFS

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Premier @eby-david.bsky.social unveiled his new Cabinet today. It’s a big shake-up from the last. Good to see @brendavancouver.bsky.social appointed Finance Minister – she’s proven to be one of the more effective and hard-working on the government bench. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

What it looked like outside Moulton's office today, curtesy of Jonathon Cohn. Democrats should not leave LGBTQ+ people behind. They are a large part of the Democratic base, a force with real voting power, and should not be taken for granted.

The last thing Twitter really had going for it above alternatives for me was breaking news and commentary on the fly. But that seems to be shifting, with more journalists, Experts, and outlets migrating to Bluesky. Great stuff.
