Jenny Holzer, Installation for Bilbao

As always, fuck off WFP editorial board. The ghoulish idea that the postal service should be run as a corporation and not as the obvious public service it is the clear problem (source: www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit...)

I’m not easily shocked but this got me 🤪

Just a reminder that only 14 of the 94 Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action have been implemented in Canada. The history of settler colonialism in Canada is uninterrupted, violent, ongoing.

The G in rauchg stands for genocide

This is clearly correct, because my daughter and co-parent (autistic) just had to explain to me (allistic) the difference between Jigglypuff and Kirby. Eugenicists would not be able to cope with this knowledge.

My heart soars at their escape even as it breaks at its necessity

Does the City of Winnipeg think Winnipeggers don’t merit access to city information outside the country? A courteous mitigation to such a shameful choice would be to explain what’s happening, as most people lack the technical awareness to understand and route through a local address as I did here.

Rest in peace Kerry and Egor, yet more victims of #Winnipeg road violence.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

So glad to see the TTC adding crisis workers to the Line 1 subway! More of this please! These kinds of policies should have been enacted years ago. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hey, if you're a #queer or #trans person in or with ties to #Winnipeg, I would love to hear from you. I have some USian friends looking to relocate there and they'd love some advice from folks who know the place. If you are willing to be put in touch, please comment or DM! Many thanks! 🙏💚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I think if city councillors aren’t going to build us sidewalks and bike lanes they should have to come to our funerals and listen to the weeping of mothers.

It’s not just that Ezra K cant get us out of this mess, it’s that he and his crew got us into this mess.

Any new "we're putting cops here now" announcements from the city today

[Winnipeg voice]: 30 metres, what’s the big deal

ANTIFAscist, now and forever

New piece by Ellen Gabriel and I on the need to resist Canada’s “elbows up” colonialism.

Another day. Another dangerous obstruction blocking the Harrow St bike lane @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social

It’s sad that this is the first time I’ve seen a CO2 monitor out in the world, this could be normal along with so many other transmission mitigation efforts 🥺

Why does this seem so off-putting for the Mayor of a City to do? He's essentially now a spokesperson for the Winnipeg Police Service (and admits as much in the video). I'd much prefer if he was addressing root cause issues with social programs over spending time stumping for bail reform.

“After yet another underwhelming response to a tragic incident, it’s fair to ask whether the City of Winnipeg wants to keep the Millennium Library open.” Hasn’t the councillor most responsible for it explicitly advocated for its closure?

I likely won’t be updating macOS until November at the earliest but every year I hope the supremely-annoying bug I reported years ago has been silently fixed

Enough reason to get out and vote against him in #Elmwood. #Winnipeg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

To do this with the (upcoming) interest invoker API, it's 1 line of code: .parent:has(:interest-source) button { interest-show-delay: 0s; } You have your default delay. Then, you update the interest delay when an element inside of the parent has interest (i.e. hover). codepen.io/una/pen/LEpw...

We went to the sacred fire relatives are holding for Kerry and Egor. Fire keepers still need wood, medicine, and donations to support the feast at the end. Sacred fire is at 46 Grove St until 5:55 pm Thursday.

next year is also the 20th anniversary of something else 😜

“abandonment mélange”

ADHD antifa: distracted but still there

At a meeting last week with comrades, I remarked that I felt that our collective political & social imagination is stunted and shrunken. They said that they felt the same. Perhaps some of you feel the same. Where are our spaces for collectively imagining what we are FOR & what we want to create?

Indigenous Women: Letter of Solidarity with Humanitarian Flotilla "We write as Indigenous women, Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer people grounded in our responsibilities to our Peoples and lands, to raise our voices in solidarity with the people of Palestine."

In the modern era, where are these meetings and dis/agreements? (CN: at least one TERF unremarked)

Misogynist and genocidal ictnews.org/news/over-35...

One of the most irritating leftwing intergenerational things to me is how younger activist overuse Instagram. I'm not going to a rally if you're only advertising it on Instagram, sorry.

on whose land?

Great points, and specifically WHY isn’t the NDP government restoring the provincial transit funding cut by the PCs 🧐

They truly are nation building projects in the sense that our nation is built on imposing extraction while branding it as progressive

elbows up, up to the elbows

Happy to see Councillor Chris Moise consider my Church Street pedestrianization plan for Toronto’s Gay Village!

Yesterday night I rode #wpgTransit home from volunteering. This was well outside rush hour and, my pals, these buses are FULL. We need some serious investment in Winnipeg Transit asap!! #winnipeg #wpgpoli @sherrirollins.bsky.social @scottgillingham.bsky.social 1/

💖 Who Knew It Could Be Like This ✨ Full comic on @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social www.ohjoysextoy.com/who-knew-it-... Fresh-faced baby Hien had no idea affection friendships existed even though it's a huge part of my life now! Read about how a huge crush of mine helped me find platonic physical affection!

I CANNOT stand Winnipeg's trajectory right now. Hmm, people are acting out of more desperation? Let's increase security! Huh, people are taking even GREATER risks? More force! More security!

For me the most upsetting part is that the people who are now personally responsible for killing hundreds will not only never be held accountable but will never even believe they have blood on their hands.

if you can understand "gender" as something that is constructed and the bounds of which are policed, you must learn how "sex" is similarly constructed, and policed, otherwise you will loop yourself into logics that undermine themselves

I've lived in Winnipeg for about a month now and I believe much of the myths, assumptions and jokes about it (especially about the crime) is thinly veiled anti-Indigenous sentiment.

See: the City of Winnipeg library workers who are forbidden to speak to the press about the state of their workplace when under-resourcing leads to repeated on-site crises

Alright, Bluesky. I wrote something about white supremacy. It's the first thing I've written in long form since at least 2023. There's a long PTSD reason for that, and I'm going to get into that more, later. For now, I'd love for you to read. sundaymorningeasy.com?p=776
