It is Pride Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of Canadians who fought for equality. Today it is the story of George Hislop.

Happy Pride to all the opposite-gender-partnered bisexuals and the opposite-gender-partnered bisexuals ONLY. Your sacrifices are recognized and saluted.

Happy Pride Month!

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Hop into express lane!🚌💨 Desert Bus Express is back with a 24 hour marathon starting June 20th at 4pm PDT. This time we're raising money for Qmunity.ca, Vancouver based charity working to improve queer, trans, and Two-Spirit lives through services, connection, and leadership. More info soon!

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

No compliance. Ever. Our trans siblings, we will fight for you.

Fossils: Something had to die, be buried in sand before it could be damaged, transform from sand to sandstone, move around a couple thousand kilometers, be unearthed, still not be destroyed, and then I had to walk on the beach and look down at the right time to see it. It seems miraculous.

Cities should be expanding free transit access instead of shrinking it. Take the money out of the police budget.

Vancouverites! Time for your yearly reminder that the first Sunday in May means it’s Marathon/Half Marathon/8K/etc Race Day! Road closures all over downtown/Kits/Chinatown/etc tomorrow at various times, so check here for detours: bmovanmarathon.ca/detours Good luck to all the racers tomorrow!

AI rots your brain. Writing with ChatGPT is worse than writing shitfaced after a pub crawl.

oh hey did you know there's a mineral called MONAZITE and it is not the same as the rock type called MONZONITE this should be illegal, tbh

We clean airplane cabins at @yvrairport.bsky.social and we are preparing to go on strike! DFM keep ignoring our demands for better wages, job security, and benefits. 🟪💺🟨 On Sunday May 3, the committee will report back. If negotiations don't go well, we will strike. @bcfed.bsky.social

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Video footage of the Puget Sound #Waterspout that occurred this afternoon at ~3pm PDT (15 Apr 2026) about 3mi/5km W of #Magnolia #WA to the NW of downtown #Seattle WA! H/T: 🎥 BadAssBitch /Reddit #WAwx

A waterspout just moved over Puget Sound and was visible from Seattle. It appeared to be spawned by a mesoscale convective vortex. Source: imgur.com/a/seattle-wa...

Maple found three apple cores on our morning walk. It was like an Easter egg hunt except laser targeted at my bottomless-pit of a dog.

Are you a trans person in BC who has been told your pharmacy will no longer be delivering your testosterone (or other medication?) as a result of the Health Professions and Occupations Act? Please reach out - [email protected]

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Imagine you have a loaf of crusty bread that's gone stale. No mold, but hard as a rock. You put it under running water & stick it in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes. Now it's soft & delicious as fresh-baked. What strange & wonderful BREAD MAGIC is this?! Let's talk about retrogradation.

Reposting this cuz it's important, if you live in Canada and use roads *in whatever capacity* (driver, cyclist, pedestrian, public transit) our government needs to hear from you

April 12-18 is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in British Columbia - a great time to learn more about the past and prepare for the future, starting with stories and lessons passed down from those who have lived on this coast for 1000’s of years hakaimagazine.com/features/gre... from @hakai.org magazine 🧪⚒️🌊

i feel like you all need this

I love this account because it's very funny, but I'll be That Science Dude and say this is actually a profound question with an answer that may surprise you. The person who answered it certainly will. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

it also has this one

On April 5, 1958, Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows was destroyed using 1,300 tons of explosives to make the area safer for ships. The explosion sent debris 300 metres into the air and moved 635,000 metric tons of rock and water. 🧵 1/12

I saw a video of the Artemis II launch from a plane this morning and it simultaneously fills my heart with hope and breaks it in half at the same time. This is the cool shit that humans should be doing with our brains; not blowing each other up. Not leaving our neighbours hungry and unhoused.

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals. 🧪 #ArtemisII

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Happy trans day of visibility, here is a wrasse design I made awhile ago because all wrasses change sexes as they age.

As TDOV approaches, Miko (@megemikoart) reminds us that trans joy is closely connected to trans visibility, because it’s only when we can see other trans people living happy and joy-filled lives that we know trans joy is possible. ✨🏳️‍⚧️🌼

Maple had her friend Whiskey over this weekend. They are very different sizes (75lbs and 15lbs) but they are good buddies who play very well together. It was abject chaos for the first hour but then they settled down for some relax time.

“Lewis, often seen as the farthest left of all five candidates, won decisively on a platform that included expanding universal health care, transitioning off fossil fuels, and publicly funded affordability measures such as government-owned grocery stores.” @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.

Giving money directly to poor people is the most effective and efficient way of relieving poverty and improving their lives and opportunities.

Today, one year ago, the devastating Mw 7.7 Myanmar #earthquake produced the first-ever surface rupture footage, caught on a building's webcam. It shows the exact moment this section of the Sangain Fault ruptured in a right lateral strike-slip movement. 🧪⚒️ youtu.be/77ubC4bcgRM?...

What the average person thinks HR is supposed to do for them at a job is what unions are actually for.

ICYMI: For an IOC policy about making sports fair for women, this new IOC policy sure makes sports unfair for women xtramagazine.com/culture/olym...

Like, obviously this is unfair to trans women. I'm not debating that! But it's also deeply unfair to all women! Male athletes don't have to undergo invasive and expensive sex testing. The IOC is literally making it harder for women to compete at the Olympics.

Anyone who claims to be a feminist must call the IOC trans exclusion/mandatory sex-testing policy out for what it is: a massive blow to fairness in women’s sports. It is literally harder for women compared to men today than it was yesterday. That's textbook gender discrimination, baby!!

periodic reminder that there were literally no trans women competing at either the 2024 or 2026 Olympics, it's an issue that takes up 90% of some peoples' brains and literally 0% of the last two actual Olympic competitions

“Women’s sport does not need this. It needs to be abuse-free…” Good on Semenya for pointing out the fucked-up priorities of the IOC. Nominally targeted at transgender athletes, this will just enable more abuse of ALL women competing at the Olympics.
