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

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.

beloved venue has cockroaches

Prohibiting things that are everywhere doesn’t make the things go away, for a targetted group or in general. After a 100 years + of ineffective policy with terrible knock on effects, you’d think we’d know, but nope. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Gabe Beardy should still be here for his kids. Vigil this Friday at 6. Ride over from Central Park at 5:30 with Critical Mass.

Gotta wonder, are these folks capable of self-government?

It’s barely 5:30 am and today I learned SAAN (Stores) opened in Winnipeg in 1947, and stood for Surplus Army, Air Force, Navy? Huh.

I curse whoever nominated the Winnipeg into the Nineties Wikipedia page for deletion 😠

I enjoyed Hoppers significantly more than Project Hail Mary

what is it like to surrender and not give up

just learned my family's historic community, saint adolphe, is actually just named after some guy who gave them money? like the 'saint' bit is entirely creative license. VERY funny to me en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ado...

I’ve been seeing the straight ally flag in the wild more lately, what are people wanting to communicate when they put this up?

Help, I’m thinking about Pillion again.

This is so disgusting. I've known people from Grassy Narrows my whole life, and my whole life the federal and ON governments have allowed generations of their families to be poisoned by mercury, and treated horrifically in general. Fuck you, Carney. You should be honoured to be in their presence!

Books you read when you were too young

inclusion by sign

Tomorrow is critical mass.

This is offensive, is there any justification? This is a step away from openness and transparency, an unfortunate trend in governance and everything else.

isn’t there something sinister about “givin’ ’er”, like givin’ ’er WHAT

"THIS IS OUR LAND" i hate to break it to you...

liberal publications dare ask this after years of building consent for blanket protest bans, unconstitutional legal action, and state kidnapping, jailing, deportation of young people brave enough to speak up against a genocide

Old news for many but I now love frozen grapes

Shouldn’t it be called “I Slept With Bonhomme At Radio-Canada”

Why would @winnipegfreepress.com publish an op-ed by a former Conservative government operative without the slightest fact-check? bsky.app/profile/buck...

The Winnipeg Free Press published an op-ed opposing safe consumption and failed to note this

help I’m being oppressed

This is something I'm excited about in Winnipeg. I have memories in that building from as long as I remember, on trips to 'the city'. I consider it a good friend. I would have been devastated to see it demolished. I'm so glad it's getting a new life, it looks like it will be a beautiful space.

thoughts and prayers

As we're coming up to the Hugo Awards nominations deadline, I'm reading a bunch of short stories (because I never remember to during the year 🤦🏼) Toothpaste Feelings, by @sharangbiswas.bsky.social, is a really proper lovely tale and you should read (and nominate) it www.khoreomag.com/fiction/toot...

After years of tenant activism pushing for better rent protections Manitoba is making some good changes for some renters, but still leaving thousands unprotected. A victory for tenant organizing & advocacy - and we need to push for even more!
