Freshly woken up on my first full day in London 🇬🇧 It’s my favourite place for Christmas festivities! Setting alarm to call in sick to work for the next few days, since they are all unaware that I’ve left the country 😅😇

Hello it’s obviously Rump Shaker! 🗣️🎷

PLAY SOME CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!!!!

Comforting, inky black nights, with my weighted blanket and wine 😌

This is the one song that if you ever need to find me, play it loudly and I will appear…To turn it the eff off! Hate is not strong enough a word. I was in the trenches of gay nightlife in 98 and this song played constantly. Sometimes 2 or 3x in a row 😩😭🤬

Damn, I don’t even think we got packs of full size bars like this in Canada 😩

This kind of answer is the problem. If only intersectionality existed so we could relate to gender identity issues. Oh wait!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am hoarse from screaming this at my tv (and to anyone who dares bring it up in conversation)!

'Cause she comfortable 😌

This footage radicalized me into desperately wanting to visit Portland. I’ve always been down to go for their food scene and I finally just finished Portlandia so this is the cherry on top

I have an urge to start my own business but making my brain focus to formulate the plan is often derailed by pure apathy. Why bother? How do I even begin to find out HOW? What if I lose the little savings I have? Is it worth it if everything in the world is wrong right now? Also, I’m bored already 😅

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Every time a fascist dies i smile. I will always smile when people creating a culture of death and oppression die.

I just sang a flawless rendition of that song that goes 🎶 I have one daughter 🎶to a stranger in this bar and then jumped in the Uber like a rockstar. Going out drinking on aTuesday might be my new thing!

How are parents functioning inside an airplane washroom with a child of any age, when I can barely turn around in there and I’m alone? Just another reason I’m glad I’m not about that life 🥹

I know I chose to sit @ the rear of the plane. I just don’t understand why we don’t board back to front. Why do they want me to bump into every single person / armrest going past everyone? Why everyone seated staring you down as you struggle with your carry-on? Have I lost my vacation chill already?

Nothing like an airport to remind you that so many people have forgotten that we experienced a worldwide pandemic not long ago so they make a beeline to stand next to me and cough

A week is up already and this is my last Aruban sunset. I really needed this. If I don’t get myself near water every few months I go a little manic

Absolutely this. When I think back to my childhood all the signs were there but I was in my late 20s before I started to put 2 + 2 together. Well after my community was already predominantly LGBTQ. I felt so stupid that I didn’t know and oddly no one else suspected either 🤦🏽‍♀️

Found a Curtis Sliwa fan in Aruba. It’s crazy to me that anyone would dive head first into a convo about local NYC politics with a 🇨🇦 stranger. But I was happy to talk up all the reasons I’m jealous that they have Mamdani to vote for instead. I think ol’ boy was shocked I knew so much about it. 😂

Absolutely. I can be very petty and I hold a grudge

I couldn’t find a speaker that worked well in water and I don’t really want to disturb other people anyway. So I tied my waterproof pouch holding my phone to my hat and now I can bob along to DTTG in the sea hands free! Yes I am a genius. No I don’t care if it looks dumb

Who brings salt water to the sea? Me. I do. Because I happy cried today while swimming in Aruba and a wedding happened on the beach. And I practically squealed when I realized it was a lesbian wedding 🥹 Mrs. & Mrs. Smith were absolutely gorgeous and the ceremony was so sweet. My gay heart 😭♥️

Broke a nail, lost a $50 bill from my pocket, and my bike seat got stolen, but I don’t care because I’m 2 days away from my trip to Aruba. I’m gonna have to wrap myself in bubble wrap for the next 45 hours until I get on that plane! 🤞🏽🏝️

I hope lil nas x is truly okay.

Just finished my nail appointment where I had a direct view of my double locked, battery-removed ebike from the window. I’ve had 3 friends this past week, have their bikes stolen. The guys had angle grinders and they were locked on busy streets but no one spoke up or tried to stop them 🫩

I cannot contain my jealousy over how cool this scavenger hunt is! It’s even making me tear up a little at how excited and engaged everyone is 🥹

When a Union wins, workers everywhere benefit. Air Canada had no intention of negotiating in good faith....not until the union defied the return-to-work order, and held the line. Then suddenly the bosses got a deal on the table in a matter of hours. Solidarity forever! The Union makes us strong.

I’m so proud of the Air Canada crew defying the govt and continuing the strike! I have travel plans booked for next month and they could be affected but so be it. If they’re so essential then pay them like they are! I can’t believe they went this long not being paid for work outside of the flight.

I cannot stress enough that I wasn’t finished vibing to CHROMAKOPIA before Don’t Tap The Glass dropped and I’m low key mourning that lost time because DTTG is my new shit! Sugar On My Tongue all day 🙌🏽💃🏽

Not on here as much anymore cause life lifing but if you reading this , I hope you are as well as you can be and I’m rooting for you.

Lauryn Hill and the Fugees taught me this one in ‘96 with How Many Mics 🙌🏽

“I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.” —Malcolm X

I’ve been so good at buying Canadian for months now but the ultimate test is upon me: Beyoncé made shipping $6CAD for her Cécred line 😭 Somebody please tell me it’s shitty so I can rest easy 🥹😅

Drop an old person that you're going to turn into in the future

Omg I have a new coworker who blessed me with my first ever congee this morning and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again 😩🤤

Eggs and avocado are two of my least liked foods. It’s mostly a texture thing for me but I absolutely love looking at them. I think they’re beautiful. The colours and shapes are sublime but I just can’t bring myself to eat them

Sometimes in the wee hours like this I get trigger finger to play The Simpsons Tapped Out game. It’s so lame they couldn’t at least keep it up so you could watch your citizens walk around. Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes or Luann Van Houten in her ball. Sigh

My phone just reminded me that on this day in 2020 I randomly decided to buy dessert for the overnight crew from McDonald’s. 3am order for 12 mcflurries 2 cones and 3 sundaes (1 with peanuts) AND IT ALL ARRIVED PERFECTLY! One for the books.

It happened to me. I was sitting on a patio having drinks with a friend who casually brought up Gaza (!). I know not to talk politics with her but I took the bait anyway. Long story short her rebuttal to my stance was to ask if I liked Hamas. If. I. Liked. Hamas. 🫩 FFS Like, who does??!

I'm not for everybody and I'm ok with that.

I did it. I got out on my bike and made 3 trips to different grocery stores for the sales. If I had room I’d get a cargo bike to do it all in one shot. But it’s a hot and humid day and it was really lovely to go thru different neighbourhoods in a cute dress being productive. Soothes the brain too!

I’m not okay. But today’s another day.

I just turned the volume up on a video in a language I don’t understand. Still didn’t understand a lick, but it had to be done

Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic Acknowledging the genocide is not antisemitic

One time I was trying on sports bras in a department store on a hot day and wondered aloud to myself, why they had call buttons in the changing room. Minutes later I found out when I could not get the dang thing off now matter how much I contorted and then I started to panic 😭

I’ve been watching TikTok on my projector like it’s tv but it wouldn’t load last night. Today I uninstalled it to try and fix the problem and discovered they’re no longer supporting the app 😩 I’m so sad about that. It was my go to way to watch. Now I gotta hold my phone like an animal?! 😭

As a kid this song bored me so much! 😩 Couldn’t dance to it. Lyrics were beyond my comprehension. My mum played it way too often. But I get it now 😅 youtu.be/rjlSiASsUIs?...

I don’t even want someone pretending to be Elon Musk following me!

In 1984 I was 7 and a new library card recipient. I somehow found my way to the albums section of the library and I borrowed this album so many times in succession that they gifted it to me and I played it LOUDLY and constantly 💖 Until I found the Like a Virgin album, natch!
