Never forget the 2024/25 bluesky shift from "become ungovernable, be gay do crimes" to "you can't promote foreign fundraisers, that's illegal"

Listen - we told you. Yes, getting Carney in over PP was important, but it wasn't the end of things. We're going to have to fight this fucker tooth and nail for the next four years to stop massive overreach and resource extraction on steroids.

It doesn't matter what 'causes' transness, or whether some tran is trans for a different reason than you. What matters: bodily autonomy, access to healthcare, the right to privacy, and free bras because they just keep growing at random intervals and bras are expensive dammit

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give yall a friendly reminder to give LGBTQ+ peeps, especially trans women, money if you’re able. It’s an extremely hard time with many places around the world trying to erase us, but they won’t win so easily. If you want to know how to help, that is how. We will survive

Once again asking white people to confront the fact that their choice to not wear a mask anymore is directly tied to white supremacy www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here. dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictrans...

alt text added 3-panels Jucika comic titled "vidéki Riszálláson" by Pál Pusztai. Jucika in a red dress and straw hat meets a bull and thinks about bullfighting. She takes off her dress leaving only her undergarments on then hides the dress behind her. She sneaks by as the bull eats her hat.

jesus fucking christ the whole skyline today is hate crimes, genocide, suicides, news of the wealthy weaponizing their blessings against us, and desperate friends begging for help... happy pride everybody 🙁

Since a kid, I’ve always found it weird how getting older, realizing you have one very short life, and saying “fuck it, I’m gonna do and get the things I want.” is framed as a crisis.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

RIP Cole. The future of mutual aid is 3D printed inhalers, DIY epipens and home brew insulin, free abortifaciants and, yes, tech assisted amateur brain med production. The extremely effective distribution of narcan demonstrates that medicine mutual aid can scale. We will avenge you.

I am officially one of The Ancients, Keeper of Knowledge of the Before Time

Outdoor recreation guides tend to treat cis men's bodies as default, but menstruation is as natural as trees, water and wildlife. Here's a guide to having your period while camping — including a fact check on the urban legend that bears will attack you for it. thenarwhal.ca/period-plann...

“Yintah,” a film about Wet'suwet'en residence to the Coastal GasLink pipeline, has won best feature-length documentary at the Canadian Screen Awards. Read all about the film in this Tyee Q&A from last year.

Don't forget during Pride Month to remember Marsha P Johnson. if you don't know who she is look her up.

Men claiming they regret stepping down or apologizing for sexual violence is a well-worn playbook at this point. It doesn’t reflect on the veracity of the allegations, it reflects on the instinct for people to stop caring about their sexual violence as time goes on

Yall gotta understand that if we start the uprisings in June we can frame it as the queer revolution that overthrew the USA

anybody else on here got a Storygraph account for me to follow? looking for other nerds to yap with

for me, it's more so "World is collapsing and things are bad so I will do art because I enjoy it and people could use a break from it all" I'm not looking to change the world, I'm looking to make a small positive uptick in both my life and people who enjoy my art regardless of how small it can be

A reminder that they have to literally rip up the US state and empire about it because they have lost the argument about queers. They came for trans because they lost the argument about Black people in flaming fashion in 2020. They are struggling upstream: even now with full media and federal power

A prominent Deaf community member was found dead this past Saturday. The community is taking their death pretty hard and there will be a 50/50 online raffle to try raise funds towards mental health services for deaf people.

Over the next day or so, Doug Ford is going to remove First Nations rights and sovereignty through Bill 5. Looping around Treaties that protected us until now. Ford is finally getting what he wanted, handed to him by America’s Rapist in Chief. Just like Trump, Ford does not listen when we say NO.

Canada tabled sweeping legislation today to increase border security, incl powers to cancel or suspend immigration docs immediately, and huge crack downs on asylum applications While Canadians can feel smug about their nationalism in this tarriff-trade war, it's a pretext for anti-migrant control.

Updates on the project I've been so excited about! I'm finally able to develop an online, asynchronous Cree course which I hope to launch by September: apihtawikosisan.com/2025/06/maki...

The orchids haven't stopped blooming and this display is a personal best. I've been waiting to repot them but I'm not complaining. 🌱🪴 #houseplant #phal
