turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish

Giving the same sentence the Boston marathon guy got to a dude that shat on a cybertruck is so fucking funny. Fascism, but make it incredibly more stupid and whiner.

Meet Abigaïl, a volunteer from Benin who has made over 9,000 contributions across Wikimedia projects – including creating 270 new articles on French Wikipedia. She is driven by the role that gender and language diversity play in improving the quality and relevance of articles. (2/4)

Further thoughts, a major issue with getting your leftism online is a lack of understanding organizing, which means calling in people of ALL political persuasions talk to an organizer IRL, *of course* you need to be kind to liberals, most liberals are working class

the problem with the "trans sports participation is a loser / 80-20 issue" framing is that it ignores how it got that way. it didn't just happen out of nowhere. It's been a 5+ year campaign by Republicans to make it an 80-20 issue, and noone fought back.

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

A Jewish billionaire from a big city is not who you expect to be the face of a popular opposition, but he is about to be a star of the opposition because he's saying plain truths about what Trump and his ilk offer America. This playbook isn't hard. More Dems should run it.

There is grace and beauty, also, in the world. “I’m in prison for participating in a murder,” he would later say. “And the mother of this man is here, present, on behalf of me, watching me receive my degree.” www.cnn.com/interactive/...

would be nice if 1) the sidewalks and bike lanes get cleared and 2) infrastructure is designed with the fact that it snows in mind (bc there’s always snow getting dumped from the road to the bike lanes, and from the bike lanes to the sidewalks.

Because you TOTALLY asked for this… and MapQuest has NOTHING better to do… We’ve granted you exclusive access to a place very dear to our heart: gulfof.mapquest.com Think of it as the Upside Down but more... minimalist. Pls share so we can behold your genius (or judge you, lovingly) 😘

I remember reading about the LRT project in the Spec when i was like 10 (i had a thing for reading the paper as a kid, very autistic of me) I’m closer to 30 now lol

Feb 19th is the international day against lgbtq+phobia in sport. As a trans footballer, I encourage all allies to wear black and pink today and show up for your queer friends all year round. #FVH2025 🖤🩷 (Very old photo because I’m still stuck in bed with a chest infection, thoughts and prayers)

Canadian government expected to announce plans for Toronto–Montréal–Québec City high-speed rail tomorrow: www.thestar.com/politics/fed... A very promising project that compares well with high-speed lines in Europe in terms of distance between major cities: www.urban.org/research/pub...

The privilege of a democracy is we get the right to vote. It’s embarrassing to not use that right. Ontario, please vote. And please vote Doug Ford out. He called a snap election to hold onto power amid the tariff wars #ontario

The Onion - American's finest peer reviewed historical journal.

exhausting as liberal democracy is, I feel it is vital for us queer and trans people to fight for its survival because it is also the system of government that tends to be least interested in killing us by a very wide margin

there's no massive public outcry for Sam Nordquist. I've barely seen him mentioned at all.

I am watching the Ontario Leaders' Debate. CHCH's live stream is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ9X...

a bit of an update on this convo that confirms my suspicions about NCMEC. I don’t think TDTF has bsky but they focus on solving missing persons cases w/ suspected LGBT+ vics. The EOs are gonna screw up progress on a lot of cases, queer or not (1) transdoetaskforce.org/index.php/ar...

The game started exactly how we thought it would. 4-Nations>All-Star

I can’t believe I was ever foolish enough to believe that an entire city could be built on rock and roll.

pretty much sums up how i feel about activism tbh

definitely guilty of not doing this pretty often

idk half my DNA is chilling in an ovary, the other half doesn’t exist yet.
