It would be a very good day to donate, in honor of the incredible Alice Wong (@sfdirewolf.bsky.social). chuffed.org/project/crip...

Want to honor Alice Wong and her work? Wear a damn mask!

Gutted. We have lost a brilliant voice in the world. Rest in peace Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social you were so inspiring to so many of us. Thank you for sharing all your words and for always shining a light on the disability community.

+ we wouldn't "need" the files if we actually believed survivors.

Nobody ever comes back from hiatus. I am months late to this prediction, but I bet today's episode of Speaking Municipally will be the last time @troypavlek.ca is behind the microphone. Good luck to him and @taprootedmonton.ca at the Cdn Podcast Awards though! canpodawards.ca/2025/11/07/c...

BREAKING: THEY’RE CALLING IT! Seattle has a new progressive mayor, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! Hopefully a turning point in a city that’s long needed one for better, bolder city-making. Congratulations and good luck Mayor-Elect Wilson, & congrats Seattle voters for choosing a new, better path.

Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception. Serious illness or disability won’t happen to them and IF it does, they will be able to afford it. The reality is it only takes one catastrophic event to change your life, especially in a country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare for all.

A few years ago we eliminated a strain of the flu by wearing masks. This trick works in reverse too. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Can't make the vaccine case much clearer than measles. Just 5% of infections in Canada are people with the recommended 2 doses. Get all your shots, wear a mask and clean your air folks, this won't get any easier.

Yes, we are open for beers at 11am. But respectfully.

Measles said unto them, let they that are still wearing masks among you, let them be the first to cast a stone at Alberta. And I say unto you, nope, you can't have any of my stones. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calga...

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

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:

That fumble nearly cost both of us, Jacobs.

"It is shockingly common and will remain so for as long as there are no consequences." www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/artic...

Measles, polio, whooping cough — people forget about these diseases because we don’t have them anymore. But when you stop vaccinating, they come back. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/w...

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

I do not understand the lack of colour options for N95s. We finally got something non-white though!

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

I’m gutted by this decision. So many excellent editors and writers impacted. My column, Disability Visibility is no more as well. Many thanks to Allegra for giving me this amazing opportunity www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

I'm not sure there's anyone on the planet who deserved to celebrate the defeat of Andrew Cuomo more than Lindsey, who had unimaginable amounts of courage in coming forward and continuing to push until he suffered actual consequences for sexual harassment thrilled for her

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

Moving marginalized people to government camps is an idea with a long and shameful history. Japanese detention camps. Nazis rounding up people they didn’t like. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Just to remind ppl that zohran campaigned as unapologetically pro-Palestine so stop saying it’s an untenable position

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

So refreshing to see a politician be an unapologetic champion for LGBTQ+ rights, stopping the genocide in Gaza, even kicking cars out the lanes that buses drive on, and winning! Maybe being cowardly and quiet is a losing strategy!

In addition to be overjoyed that Mamdani won, I'm incredibly relieved that a serial sexual abuser lost.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

I ❤️ democratic socialism

Do those who accuse scientists & others of being too focused on COVID appreciate that part of the reason we read & critique so many studies is that we really want to find high quality evidence that we're wrong? Nobody wants this current reality, but here we are. 😷💉 🪟💨 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"[A]n austerity budget, for some [but not] defence... The feds plan to cut $57B in programs over 5 years... 40% more than [the Liberal] spring election platform [and] on par with what the Conservatives wanted to cut... we now estimate [total job cuts] at 40,000 people between 2024 and 2028"

Another vote on electoral reform and another win for change. But Canada's various levels of government have yet to listen to people who vote for change. Maybe the Yukon will be the first to finally make the move. electionsyukon.ca/en/plebisc...

Taxpayers, out of self-interests, don’t want to pay taxes. Tax lawyers and tax accountants, out of self-interests, enable avoidance. Those in power in government, out of self-interests, won’t challenge those with economic power and thus political power. substack.com/home/post/p-177...

Local woman wakes up, endorses Zohran Mamdani, makes oatmeal.

a lot of this mamdani panic is so reminiscent of 2008.

The real race to watch 👀 in the Yukon election is whether people in the territory will vote for a new electoral system (non-binding plebiscite, but still). electionsyukon.ca/en/plebisc...
