Just updated my Toronto food rec zine for anyone coming to @breakoutcon.bsky.social this week! Say hi if you see me at the con and I'll give you a copy! stockpotpress.itch.io/breakout-bit...

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

On this day in 1971, Leonard Cohen released his third studio album Songs of Love and Hate. One of his most successful albums, the album hit the top ten in three countries and sold 750,000 copies worldwide. In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked it as one of the Greatest Albums of All Time

SomeBODY once told me That you just got a boyfriend Who looked just like a girlfriend I had

I have a trans joke but I need two therapist letters to tell it

Honestly, this essay inspired me to go to IHOP and I do not regret it one bit. "[they're] also the last restaurants in America where a janitor and an accountant sat in the same room, ordered from the same menu, and neither of them felt like they were in the wrong place."

START HRT. YOUR FAMILY IS ALREADY DISAPPOINTED.

The correct answer is that both Joni Mitchell and Peach have been notably eaten by members of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

The womanhood understander conference

Thor is really a movie about the fundamental violence of closed adoption

I love that this story is still getting shared around

I figured it had to be bad if the foreshocks of it were causing such a stir, but this is really, *really* bad

With the passage of Bill 5, the Ford government slashed the requirement to develop recovery plans for at-risk species. Now, internal documents reveal Ontario will not publish a handful of plans that were underway when the bill passed. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

Aw yeah that’s what charts were designed for

FINALLY some good fuckin science www.cell.com/action/showP...

TIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme backfired by convincing the public to start rooting against him WIRED: Timothée Chalamet's heel-turn stunt promotional tour for Marty Supreme paid off by convincing the public to start rooting against Paul Atreides

My finest work

The war that we're winning, that we won last week, that we don't need any help with at all, is the Jews fault actually

Whether "Isreal stabbed us in the back" should be read "Israel" or "(((Israel)))" is currently up for grabs, but looking at where the energy is in the GOP youth at the moment, outlook for the former ain't looking too good

Putting my marker down now: the mainstream conservative takeaway from the Trump years is going to be "Israel stabbed us in the back"

like fuck israel and fuck its fucking wars but if you don't see what's happening here and are dumb enough to think ANYONE who takes a senior trump admin position isn't a racist freak of some sort, you're not worth arguing with

It’s interesting how every billionaire ceo’s ideology boils down to “you should give me all your money, I should be above the law, and I should be allowed to do anything I want.” Thiel being like, “oh you see because otherwise the antichrist” is barely an innovation

This is actually a useful example of the ways that Israel -- a state that is basically insane -- is increasingly used not as an example of bad American foreign policy, but as the all-powerful scapegoat for it

ICYMI yesterday at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social I looked at @alexandragallant.com's 'This Place is a Prison, These People Aren’t Your Friends'. An investigation of our relationships with carceral spaces. www.brokenfrontier.com/this-place-i...

You should be giving us money.

The end of this piece makes me think about the time the president emeritus of one of my professional societies called my room at 2 am and asked me to come to his. It also reminded me of my rapist. And other senior men who tried it with me This kind of thing was/is unfortunately common in STEM. 🧪⚛️🔭

If you want to know what mining in Zambia actually looks like, with the support of @pulitzercenter.org, I sent @thexylom.com's Editor-at-Large KC Cheng to central Zambia to document the prevalent unease among Chinese migrant workers and locals last year: www.thexylom.com/post/six-dec...

Wow. This is the SPIN to end all SPINS. Ford's move to block FOI requests are NOT "to protect ourselves against the communist Chinese"! It is to prevent the court ordered release of Ford's celllogs, more info about the Green Belt, the Skills Fund, ON Sci Centre & scandals we don't know about yet.

Ontario's privacy commissioner warned that Doug Ford’s “shocking announcement” was “about hiding government-related business to evade public accountability.” Just in from @robertbenzie.bsky.social and @moirawelsh.bsky.social:

It was revealed last week that Trump got a $10 billion bribe for helping steal TikTok and give it to his right wing billionaire friends under the pretense of national security and it barely enjoyed a two hour news cycle

Two weeks into the war, this is the bottom line: The Strait of Hormuz has *become* the objective. Trump has lost control, to the point where the closure of the Strait & its global economic implications have overtaken all the boastful goals of regime change or destroying the Iranian missile arsenal

So for about seven years now I've been painting these abstracted watercolour maps:

I made a truly unhinged remix for this incredible release and I can't wait for y'all to check it out. Every single track on this is a truly wild exploration of the original album, taking it in unimaginable directions. I am honestly running out of superlatives for this. Just get it.

Watched Paris is Burning for the first time since transitioning and it hits very different

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE so my sexy lil Succubus Demon babe can have a cozier spot to rest. My entry for the March #hardcoverchallenge with @hardcoverart.com Reference pose was perfect. The other entries so far are incredible.

These Pernicious Gambling Apps Will Embed Themselves Deeper and Deeper Into Public Life, Disintegrating Social Trust In Unpredictable and Dangerous Ways vs. No It Won't

as both a comic writer and an artist, this shows a very poor understanding of how comics are made. you cannot separate the writing from the art; they inform each other completely and inseparably. honoring only the script is frankly somewhat of an insult to the medium

now wait a minute, I was told for decades that a man can only truly immerse himself in his character if we let him be an unbearable piece of shit to his coworkers now you're saying you can win Best Actor for a generational performance AND be a reliable colleague everyone loves to work with?? wild!!

Somewhere on the Upper West Side right now, Big Ballet and Big Opera are toasting each other with plastic tumblers filled with tiny amounts of lousy Chardonnay.

Dumbfounded and terrified because the singing was *already* in Latin.

“the ban covers more than 200 books, including graphic-novel versions of classics such as Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five, Margaret Atwood’s dystopian opus The Handmaid’s Tale, and George Orwell’s 1984.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

There's something very...apropos...about Firefly being both a.) a riff on Lost Cause propoganda and also b.) being recalled as a Noble Show That Was Cut Down Before Its Prime, Whose Patriots Know It Will One Day Rise Again

First takeaway from French local elections: continued gains for far-right, esp. in south of the country. Far-right wins reelection already in the first round in Perpignan, biggest city it already governs, & many smaller towns. It's going to be in a strong position to gain Toulon & (bigly) Nice.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.
