A white cis guy employed by Disney to make jokes about public figures and host PR event interviews, about as spicy as a white person taco, but usually harmless enough

I really hope we’re able to get Ken sim out next van election cause goddammit I have seen more cops on transit in the last 3 years than in the previous 25 years! Also Twice in the last month I’ve seen cops standing around kitted out with AR-style long guns. This does not make me feel safe

So true!

Cities and states really need to start passing laws that payouts from lawsuits against police come out of their pension funds, rather than municipal & state money. Shit would clear up real quick.

Going to the theme parks is supporting anti-trans legislation. Buying the books is supporting anti-trans legislation. Buying and playing the games is supporting anti-trans legislation. Talking up the franchise in any guise is encouraging others to fund anti-trans legislation.

For all the US-folks that follow me. Please do this!

It's hard to explain how, in the 80s and 90s in NI, pre internet, as a kid, unless you had a queer person in your immediate family, you just didn't even know queer was a thing. And yet I'm still queer. You can take away the words kids can use to describe themselves, but they will always be queer.

As @garnettillie.bsky.social & I have been saying for a while now: It’s a death cult.

Watching MSNBC today I noticed that they had hired former MT senator John tester as a paid analyst… My immediate thought was “wow off the top of my head I can count 3 old cis white Guys named John (tester, kaisic, heilman) and yet they still “don’t have the money” to pay any transgender analysts” 🤔

I would love to see coming generations of queer and trans kids not have to spend their adult lives working through the trauma of being queer and trans kids. I wanna sit in my rocking chair and marvel at their lives.

Oooof. Keeping all the trans ppl in the UK in my ❤️ today. This is brutal

The takeaway here is that they'd rather let your kids go hungry than let trans kids be themselves

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Farmoony www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehs... I’ve been really getting into board games lately and am backing this one…maybe you can too? See the second thread of this post for alt text of the image attached to the kickstarter link

I made this political ad and will make more in the future to support grassroots socialist political campaigns globally!

This is my life now lol

One of the journalists I pay because of the incredible work that she does…maybe you can throw a few $ her way too?

Excited to spend the whole day playing board games at @terminalcitycon.ca today. Woke up suuuuuuper early cause I felt like a kid on Xmas! #TCTC2025

Reminder: it was never about sports. It’s about wholesale elimination/eradication.

For some reason, Prince's followups to "When Doves Cry" didn't go over quite as well. Nobody bought the singles of "When Geese Poop" and "When Crows Cuss People Out"

bookshop.org/p/books/wood... Sat down to read “just a couple pages” from “Woodworking” last night and now, 24 hours later, I’m 250 pages in and knee deep in all the queer/trans feels! Thank you for breaking, & then repairing, my heart with such beautiful finesse @emilystjams.bsky.social

In case you were wondering about the ABC's party's effects....

Mon & Fri at 12 pm ET, I co-host DEMOCRACY-ISH with the fabulous @daniellemoodie.bsky.social. We're 100% independent. We keep it real. We don't kiss the ring. We call out all sides. Try us out with today's episode if you've never seen us, & give us your feedback. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1HY...

We need to trust our eyes. Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.

Does anyone else bank with Vancity and have a budgeting app that connects to yr personal chequing account? I’ve tried monarch & pocket guard and both don’t connect 😞

My captain, my king

www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/10/chri... Here’s an instructive article from 2017 abt how attacking T/NB people was a deliberate plan to start “breaking up the LGBT letters” …start with the smallest/most marginalized. Then when they’re stigmatized again in society you can move on to cis LGB folks next

How long do you think the cis gay, lesbian, & bi folks are going to last in the Trump admin/GOP until there’s a “night of the long knives” type event? Do you think they know the name “Ernst Röhm” I ask these questions partly as gallows humour but also 100% seriously.

Good news in the sea of awfulness

Really curious about this too. Haven’t heard anything yet but maybe others have heard stuff?

I don’t know how tariffs will impact Canadian books (doesn’t look good). Now would be the time to ask your local indie bookstore and libraries to stock up on trans and queer books published in Canada.

Writing update: Last night I started work on an epic poem called “12 Rules that Jordan B. Peterson can use to STFU about women & trans people.” In it I offer poetic responses to every one of his stupid rules. Suffice it to say it’s gonna be a fun & fiery poem indeed 😉

app.thestorygraph.com/books/ad2108... My review: “This debut collection is a beautiful meditation on the joys—love, sex, & belonging—and horrors—lynchings & the Holocaust—that humanity is capable of. This should be seen as an instant classic of queer/trans Jewish art.” #booksky #transbooks

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration for refusing to issue passports with accurate sex designations for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people. This action violates the Constitution.

The straight married couple to "I'm transfemme," "Cool, I'm gay," lesbian married couple pipeline.

Dear every ally, both celebrity and random. Hormones cause puberty. Republicans are trying to convince everyone that *teenagers* are too young for *puberty*. Please bake this into the way you talk about trans youth.

OK, so I have an activism ask about a dear friend of mine. If you have the energy and are a WA resident, go here: https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhandler/ago/ContactForm.aspx And write a letter urging the WA AG office to force Seattle Children's to resume providing gender-affirming surgeries […]

Thank you, @angryblacklady.bsky.socia! New weekly articles drop at The Flytrap on Tuesdays. We at @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social would love it if you subscribed today!

New — @indivisible.org is holding a protest at the Treasury Building 5pm this Tuesday to take action against Elon Musk's hostile takeover

Some days I need hopeful messages and other days Gallows humour will do 😉

It's unfortunate that the history of the Civil Rights movement has been rewritten as "We marched peacefully until our enemies grew a conscience". MLK and SNCC accomplished a major shift in policy using a deliberate, low-grade insurgency carried out with incredible skill and decades-long strategy.

Like I posted yesterday, reading—especially queer/trans authors—kept me sane-ish & grounded-ish throughout January.

This is why I have been writing and reading so much this month. Gives me grounding to do hard things

Trans poetry/literature/writing is what is keeping me sustained these days.. Just finished @yanyiii.com’s latest collection See the first comment below for my brief review of it app.thestorygraph.com/books/18baac...
