Winnipeg: come to this game, bring friends, Saturday, July 25, 1pm

As the years pass I spend more time collecting materials that represent past formations and actions, but could it be that eventually that’ll be all I do 🤪

For our latest, El Jones attended the opening of the Nakba exhibit at the human rights museum in Winnipeg, and collected stories from Palestinians who were there to take it in. Please read and share this excellent piece breachmedia.ca/the-nakba-ex...

Donate, but also why does this need to be crowdfunded?

why is the Patreon chat interface SO BAD remember when protocols were embraced and everyone didn’t have NIH syndrome 🥺

Why do media keep letting Killingham take credit for something he opposed and only finally gave into to save money and not disrupt car traffic?

what i was working on at 2am last night: toronto transit pride stickers! find these (and more) at an upcoming TTCriders event 🤭

The Public Works chair who didn’t support bringing some of Transit Plus back in-house because of the cost, and said Winnipeg is “spoiled” by a level of snow clearing that prevents disabled folks from leaving their homes during the winter is not running for re-election? Good fucking riddance.

This will be the most accurate interpretation of the Hatfield manifesto you will see in the coming days/weeks. I suggest you read it.

Can you imagine if Winnipeg seriously pedestrianized a street with nightlife, instead of just a dead zone down a section of Graham with no fronting businesses?

September is closer than we think - you can pre-order the second edition of Indigenous Writes now and celebrate its tenth year anniversary with me! apihtawikosisan.com/2026/06/ten-...

The thunder sounds like a jet overhead it just won't stop rumbling and rolling.

If the City wanted to make the new transit routes work, they would have needed to POUR resources into upping frequency, and not just during rush hour. They are not doing that, and so no one is happy.

I get these comments every time I post about this and I really want people to realize how unhelpful they are! First of all, if you have the stats, let's see them. Second of all, they could issue placards as temporary permits and licence plates for people with permanent disabilities. Hope that helps!

Thread

Councillors tacking to the right pre-election, presenting policy based on optics at the behest of business owners, rather than supporting evidence-based policy to address complex issues. They'd rather delete unhoused people off the map, especially when they're trying to keep their jobs in the fall.

Local media stop interviewing M****n W****s on issues of homelessness challenge.

Congratulations to Pride Winnipeg’s Karlenzig on having asserting a boundary, albeit possibly for one year only

Detour (1978-1980) was an unlicensed 16-and-over gay dance club (a ‘milk bar’) at 90 Albert Street in Winnipeg, in the Old Market Square area. The below-grade floor was a very ‘70s lounge area with a fireplace, and the upper floor was for dancing. It later became a Pier 1.

Is the Winnipeg storm shield just confirmation bias?

"ease the pressure on front-line responders" and the answer is more front-line help. I'm not saying don't help our paramedics, but can we ALSO (or even MORE SO) tackle the systemic underlying issues? I know it's really hard but this is really the definition of a (lifesaving) band-aid solution.

I too have canceled a recurring donation to Wikimedia in light of their shameful union-busting

Maybe prohibition and punishment aren't the best solutions to a social and health issue.

you're allowed to bully the robot dog it's not animal abuse

I get the monthly @tangledwilderness.bsky.social zines, if anyone local wants to borrow any of them, including this newest one from Manitoba author Celeste Inez Mathilda, let me know

It’s been 20 years since Winnipeg police attacked Critical Mass and arrested this teddy bear they suspected of being a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang. These and surrounding events led to the formation of what is now Bike Winnipeg.

There's no excuse, Winnipeg! We don't have to accept the status quo!

Is anyone in the Winnipeg ish area interested in two tickets to see Corb Lund at the Park Theatre on June 6? I bought tickets and can’t make it and would rather give them away than have them go to waste

MB NDP: we value your opinion! Do you prefer X, Y, or Z? Just so you know, Y will KILL PEOPLE

Page Six: Which mayor was spotted returning items opening day of a new clothing retailer? Surely he could have waited until a less busy moment!

I have three Gander invites if anyone wants one, though I made one post and saw that the profile had a settler colonial flag non-consensually attached and never returned 🤪

if the cruising place with a near-majority of entries isn’t on Sniffies does it even exist anymore 🥺

As a queer who grew up in the 90s, when it was completely normal to call everything you didn't like "gay," I'm begging y'all to push back on the use of homosexuality as an insult, even when it's leveled at people you hate. No, it's not more fitting because they're homophobic bigots. It's never cute.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

We are so pleased to see The Winnipeg Free Press editorial board calling 50-50 transit funding to be restored! From today's paper... Province must resume role in transit funding: www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit...

New piece up. Four days in #Winnipeg: the mural, the river, Gabrielle Roy, Club 200, and a man wrapped in a Red Cross blanket on Fort Street at 11:15 a.m.

one year ago @ttcriders.bsky.social advocates did a wayfinding makeover at king station. one of the key components were alphanumerically coded exit signs. it helped kickstart discussion of seriously funding a new TTC wayfinding strategy, and today one of the first signs of that has come to life!

I wish GitHub had a feature where I can show that I am actively reviewing something, I just haven't hit submit yet.
