I'm watching Don't Look Up and if you haven't seen it or haven't watched it since 2021, it's basically what being alive feels like rn

Time to post my own polio experience yet again: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2018...

Breaking news: The National Park Service took down an exhibit on slavery where George Washington lived as president in Philadelphia. The informational panels discussed Washington’s ownership of enslaved people, as well as the broader history of slavery.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her. She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

As the world burns, let's get one thing straight. A video podcast is just a TV show.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid. They can protect your health and the health of those around you. Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks. If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc. If you can afford them, please donate!

if this continues, you're going to wake up with no trans journalists because you've chased them all off.

“We wouldn’t tolerate contaminated drinking water in schools, and we shouldn’t have to tolerate contaminated air.”

Thanks to the @thetyee.ca and @crof.bsky.social for this piece. I've been off work due to long COVID for a year this January, and it's heartening to see the realities of the ongoing pandemic reflected in local media. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

FOI filing spreadsheet is up to date and I'm discussing FOI tips and tricks with some student reporters so let's take a little look back at the year in FOI filings, shall we? It is truly a great and functional system that is definitely not turning my hair greyer by the day 🥲 #bcpoli

Thank you @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social for holding Ken Sim to answering Q's this morning! It's so satisfying to hear reporters refuse to let politicians skirt questions.

This is delicious.

Beautiful tribute to Alice 💔

Thats right

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

I think everyone who was an adult in the 90's owes Monica Lewinsky a big fat apology in writing.

My friend Olivia is featured in this story, please read it!!

From the outside it might look like ICE officers wear masks to avoid accountability, but in reality they are a way to avoid accountability. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I'm pleased to report I absolutely nailed my second attempt at Yorkshire pudding

We are the Surrey Detention Center in solidarity with detained migrants. Canada is expanding its deportation machinery, not one more detention, not one more deporation

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

this is literally never not accurate

I have a very hard time conjuring any empathy for anti-vaxers. Congratulations, you brought back a deadly childhood illness because someone on the internet made you more afraid of hypothetical autism than your child's death? You are scum. Ableist scum.

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status. That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998. This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

Women are 3x times more likely to develop long COVID. Researchers found gut leakiness, inflammation, anemia, and hormone imbalances in women with long COVID (including lower testosterone and cortisol). These factors may help explain why long COVID affects women more. Source: archive.li/pUBSE

The one upside to daylight savings is I can go out at 4pm, come home by 7 and feel like I've had a Night On The Town 😌

Margaret Atwood is a noted TERF and I wish more people would acknowledge this as she's doing her Memoir tour.

Do you feel like the only one who still wears a mask at home in 2025 when people are still sick? Well guess what? You're in good company - thank you, Christina Applegate!

A psychopathic mass murderer walks free. No justice for Bloody Sunday.

Discuss.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Woke up angry to be alive, made a breakfast burrito. It didn't help.

This would work on me, just saying

Every time I stop checking my calendar daily I am reminded why it is essential that I check my calendar daily.

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

(in the style of Charli XCX) Everything iiiiisssss *So stressful* Aaahhhhhh

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

hey everyone, I am stuck. ive been underemployed this year compared to others and have been just scraping by. I am behind on my student loan, my credit card is maxed out, and at this point I owe rent. If you would be willing to help a girl out even just a bit id be grateful ko-fi.com/devalingallo...

I, too, wish that the president of the United States was a completely different person www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/o...

they're saying the grass is extra touchable today

Telling your family you shot someone and having your family convince you to turn yourself in is now apparently proof of excellent police work...

Welp.

It’s always striking how many right-wing Christians weaponize the concept of forgiveness to avoid accountability.

With the alleged Kirk shooter in custody, those Wall Street Journal reports yesterday about "transgender ideology" on his bullets have been debunked. We have to talk about the media's breathless obsession with linking trans people to acts of violence like this xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

The quote at the end of this CTV article about the Air Canada strike is chef’s kiss/fire/mic drop:

"Do you hate And Just Like That or do you hate [middle aged women]?" would be a much more compelling conversation if the show was good, though I am sure there are many who hate it for the wrong reasons.
