Ontario! You can cast an advance vote today against the Conservative Party who’ve been closing hospital ERs and *giving our taxes to Elon Musk and FOX News* — enough! Please vote today or on Feb 27, find out where here 👇🏼 #ONelxn

Surprise: poisoning the well against public institutions and the people responsible for the invisible work of keeping the world spinning for decades (most gallingly by false friends on the inside, as much as the agitating grifters on the outside)… has consequences.

Even the wonkiest heart can love. In the spirit of community, let's love ourselves and each other as resistance.

As true in #OnPoli as in the US. The authoritarian motivation doesn't know borders.

Helpful and beautiful as ever <3

Happy National Embroidery Month my friends!

Support trans folks and the @momentumcanada.net campaign to demand that Canada update travel guidance and create clear, accessible pathways for trans refugees by signing the petition: www.momentumcanada.net/pathways?rec... #CanadaSky #CanPoli

This. It *won't* stop with them, and that *would* be a reason for me to want to defend trans people (as a disabled person I know they're coming for me too), but it's an unnecessary one. I want to defend trans people *because they're people* and deserve to be able to live their lives in peace.

1802) Transwrongsbot. Listen, validation and love is all very well, but at some point things get bad enough that action is required as a matter of simple survival. It's time to protect trans rights by doing some trans wrongs.

Support a great press and get some profile!

Please God let this be true. Please God let the rebuilding begin. Please God let there be accountability & justice. Please God may everyone still alive be brought to safety & care. Please God may those with power now choose a more whole, more healed future for all the human beings in the region.

In no particular order...

A vote for Pierre Poilievre is a vote for racism, hatred, misogyny, against every woman’s right to decide what happens to her body, and for embracing the ideals that are destroying the U.S. He is simply a revolting, attention seeking little man with zero redeeming qualities.

"Feed yourself how you can" = 100%. Not everyone has the same 24 hours, folks.

Happy New Year, y'all. Let's keep fighting. ❤️

We made it through the longest night of the year. That’s not nothing! More light from now on. ✨

Then, when you're shaken people out of their apathy and made them uncomfortable, invite them to share some action taking with you - start with @julieslalonde.bsky.social Bystander Awareness sessions. 100% recommend.

100% in support of postal workers, always.

It is disappointing that @safety.bsky.app keeps unsuspending Singal, when he explicitly stated he's here to target a group who helped build this site into what it is. Not even pretending good faith. He's here to ruin the vibes and try to normalize harassment of trans users. This is fucked up.

Listen to trans people. Stand up. Be loud in support of their priorities and needs. Great episode of a fabulous podcast. Highly recommend listening and acting.

For anyone who needs a reminder tonight - your value is not tied to your ability to work or participate in capitalism. In fact - being disabled IS work. People have no idea how much work. They imagine it like a vacation - laying around all day doing whatever fun activities you most enjoy. 🧵
