Everyone is talking about Life of a Showgirl, meanwhile us non-billionaire showponies are out here like...

This is the silliness that myself and Nerd Girl Burlesque get up to - drag and burlesque inspired by @dropout.tv. My Vic Michaelis drag is me in an alt timeline in which I'm a suburban real estate agent. Sizzle Disco as pantless Grant is just so freaking cute! 😂 www.showpass.com/dropout-teas...

Daily bunny no.2982 is scattered to the winds

Ontario, I'm so disappointed. Who are these people who aren't voting? And now we're stuck with another 4 years of Ford, who is basically Trump lite & under investigation by the RCMP. I'm scared for our health care system. People are going to die because of the privatization he is pushing for.

The 28th is one day. You can make it many. This can be a practice.

We are live with @rosegoldeen.bsky.social playing Neva from 6-9pm EST / 11pm-2am GMT twitch.tv/rosegoldeen After Rose we head to @jazmonic.bsky.social who will be playing Metal Gear Solid 3 from 9am-12pm EST / 2-5am GMT twitch.tv/jazmoinc

"Bite your tongue, clench your fists and Stay Sick!" It was self-produced by #PoisonIvy & it ft the band's only UK top-40 single "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns". #90sMusic #psychobilly #90s #TheCramps

This is a mashup that will now live rent-free in my head. (Image ID: Lwaxana Troi, Q, and Garrack seated as though panelists on Drag Race.)

Addendum to my post about getting my foot cast off: did you know that in Doug Ford's Ontario that OHIP no longer covers casts or braces for fractures? I had to pay $100 for the fiberglass cast and they tried to charge me another $200 for an air cast today (but I already had one at home).

Good news: I am free of my fiberglass cast foot prison. Not as good news: my foot is still partially broken and I have to wear an air cast for the next six weeks. Dear Bones, please heal already. It's been too long! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

TODAY! We're shouting TRANS RIGHTS all day celebrating the release of Spirit Swap and fundraising for @transempowerment.org! 🎉🌈 Come check out @softnotweak.bsky.social with me @mattcaulder.com and @luchaandlattes.bsky.social !!

Trans folks seeking passports: Here's something potentially useful, to a small group. If you are in: Michigan Minnesota New York Vermont Washington You have access to an "EDL". This is a drivers license that can be used for LAND AND SEA (not air) entry to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean. (1/3)

E-sims are a lifeline for people in Gaza. They are also a practical way your dollars can make a meaningful difference.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive. Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!

Proof of life photo for today. The horrors persist but so does cat eye liner. It's been a minute since I did a full beat. We have to find our joy where we can. I'd love to see a photo of you today. We're still here, still queer, and ready to fight like hell.

what's wrong babe, you've hardly touched today's heap of apocalyptic news headlines

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

A friend messaged me today and they told me I had hurt their feelings by being absent lately. I was taken somewhat aback and felt awful. But I was really glad they brought it to my attention. I apologized and thanked them for telling me.

I'm looking to connect with other Canadians doing grassroots work around helping 2SLGBTQIA+ asylum seekers. I have tried to reach out to some NGOs to volunteer and haven't heard back. Any suggestions on who is doing this work and who I can connect with?

take it from a jewish former congress reporter: the word reporters and politicians won’t say is genocide

Tonight at Glad Day in Toronto: @rosegoldeen.bsky.social presents The Crystal Gams! Join us for a special night of drag, burlesque, and music celebrating Steven Universe. ⭐💎🛸 Tickets still available. Door at 7:30, show at 8 PM. bit.ly/crystalgams

yeah there's a lot of "create weird art" and not a lot of "your favorite artist can't balance their shitty dayjob and emergency expenses with creating art" or "your favorite artist is burnt out because they've been doing more commissions than personal art for years"

ST:DS9 rewatch continues: O'Brien is having a ROUGH season 2. In three consecutive episodes (S2E13-15) he is: -infected by a biomechanical WMD -thinks everyone on the station but him has been bodyswapped -stranded on a planet with an anti-technology cult that uses torture to maintain law/order

Banning porn (with the definition of porn left vague and open on purpose) is always about carving out exemptions to the first amendment. One you've got exceptions, it's easy to make more and more and more.

I am currently knee-deep in that most-feared & awful part of the year for artists & creators: granting season. Toronto Burlesque Festival was very successful in our government arts granting efforts last year. The pressure to try to replicate that success again is immense.

The app Libby pairs with your local library, and you can read/listen to audio books in the app or send the books to your e-reader. Libraries are an amazing tool, and we should, as a collective society, patronize them obsessively during these 4 years because the alt-right is attacking education.

When you're a very sleepy puppy that lives with showfolks. (The panties are stretched on a throw pillow so they can be rhinestoned without them all popping off when you put them on.)

The ST:DS9 rewatch (for me) and first-watch for @rosegoldeen.bsky.social continues. Last night it was S2E11, "Rivals" featuring a con man who has a device that changes neutrino flow (???) & changes probability. He opens a bar and gambling parlour on the promenade to compete with Quark's. 🧵

Lots of "good" people were complicit and silent during the Holocaust and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 20th century. This is why being vocal and loudly decrying fascism in our midst is so important.

There are less than 5 tickets total left for Thirst on Feb 8. Don't miss out on this most exclusive vampiric council. 🦇🧛🏻‍♀️🩸 bit.ly/ThirstBurles...

Made a brief appearance on Anja's birthday stream. You can watch recaps of how truly n00bish I was at Among Us. Next time I will be better!

Come stop by @anjakeister.bsky.social's birthday stream tonight to wish her a Happy Birthday first-and-foremost and catch her, @rainbowcatmom.bsky.social and I (plus many others!) playing some Among Us! It's gonna be a blast 🎉🥳🎉

The word from on-high. 🤣

Update on Sugar Holiday and Nerd Girl Burlesque's upcoming co-production, Thirst. There are less than 12 tickets remaining! Yell "BAT!" and fly to get them now. 🦇🧛🏻‍♀️🩸 bit.ly/ThirstBurlesque

Hey a great way to start organzing and protect your community is to wear an N95 or better as were in a "quademic." No one is saving you if you become disabled. Community organizing regularly leaves disabled people for dead. Actively pursue anti-ableist organaizing.

My heart hurts a lot tonight, friends. I told myself to stay off socials, but couldn't look away. But I was reminded of something beautiful in tonight's ST:DS9 watching with my love. We watched S2E7 (Rules of Acquisition) featuring a trans masc Ferengi character on primetime network tv in 1993! 🧵

Today I got most steps in that I have since I got my foot cast on Dec 24. It wasn't a good idea and I have many regrets. The thing is like wearing an especially cumbersome and uncomfortable ankle weight at all times. I cannot wait to get this sucker off. 18 more days! ❤️‍🩹

Good morning. Let's fucking go.

I've been a lifelong Stra Trek fan, because my dad is a Trekkie. My partner @rosegoldeen.bsky.social didn't grow up with Trek. We've now watched all of TNG, then Voyager, now on to DS9. It's been really cool revisiting & seeing it through her eyes.
