Oh, this is fantastic!

Today we’re publishing an important investigative story by Emily Enns. This story maps the connections between a group of mostly retired academics and think tanks to sow doubt about the historical truths of residential schools in Canada. thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

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]

This is catastrophic.

SOURCE CALLOUT 🏳️‍⚧️ ✨ (Please share!) I'm working on a large print feature for later this year that asks a big question: What does it look like when we let trans people thrive? I'm looking to talk to a few everyday trans people from across Canada about what that idea means to them. (Thread...)

I'll balance the political post with a photo of the great little goblin helping me work

Apologies for bringing JKR to your timelines, but this thread is so important. Canada has always had tons of bigots, who subscribe to the same transphobia and racism evident in Poilievre's post. They just feel permission to say it out loud now. This is what many of them of voting for.

It is not enough to avoid watching Harry Potter. You ALSO HAVE TO SUPPORT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. You have to hire us, pay us, promote our work, donate to us, uplift us, defend us. I'm so fucking tired of seeing constant posts about the transphobe trying to kill us and not material support for us.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

I suspect this won't apply to any of my friends on social media. But if I do see you posting about watching the Wizard School trailer I will be blocking you. Don't even watch it to dunk on it. Just ignore the fuck out of it. Please.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

I don't think I've actually been excited to update to the latest version of Firefox since the version number was in single figures, but the latest version - 148 - ships with a "switch off all AI" setting that I have swiftly enabled. Any software that includes AI should have a kill switch like this

For anyone who hasn't been following just how extreme the disinformation campaign against fundamental human rights has become, there are 37 BC MLAs who today voted to abolish the entire Human Rights Code.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge. Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today styleguide.transjournalists.org

NEW from me today: Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come. xtramagazine.com/power/tumble...

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Shameful behaviour from Hootsuite, highly recommend cancelling your account and going elsewhere.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

I applaud Skate Canada for taking a principled stance to support figure skaters and oppose Smith's awful, awful legislation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is extremely true and super important to remember. The goal of every oppressor is to remove all joy from you. Even little laughs are an act of resistance.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Trans and non-binary people in Canada experience higher rates of poverty compared to their cisgender peers, according to a recent Statistics Canada report. From labour reporter @isaacphannay.bsky.social: thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

If you’re not already following @tyolsen.bsky.social for Fraser Valley flood updates, now would be the time to do so.

On this day 36 years ago, 14 people died at a Montreal university because some fragile fucking man couldn’t handle a woman “taking his place” in the engineering program. Male rage isn’t a new problem. Entitled men aren’t a new problem. And women are entitled to every ounce of anger we carry.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Any #MBMBaM fans in the metro Vancouver area? I'm giving a talk on the 'Art of Plato's Rave' Thurs, Dec. 11 (6-7pm) at Crescent Beach Community Gallery in #SurreyBC! Free, 13+. We'll talk about the art pitch, research & illustration process. Should be fun! 🎟 RSVP: buytickets.at/itsbeenartal...

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

I switched from Spotify to Deezer recently. It was easy, it had all but 4 of my 1000ish likes songs when I copied over my library, AND it's cheaper. Should've done this years ago — Spotify's certainly been an awful company that long.

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

It's Trans Day of Remberance, I wanna remind every cis person trans people have ALWAYS been here and WILL always be here. Make sure your trans friends and community members are safe and stick around! Especially now: Inaction is compliance. Support your friends. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

Your refusal to use alt text on this app (WHICH TAKES 30-60 SECONDS MAX) is an overt communication to all that you do not give a shit about people with disabilities & their ability to be in community. And framing this discussion as nanny-state "alt-text scolding" is telling on yourself, a lot.

Ladies, Gents and all between and beyond. Desert Bus 2025 is now departing for fun, joy, hijinks and a whole lot of hope! Let’s prepare to get silly for a good cause! desertbus.org

the new york times relies on its immensely popular games to both drive subscriptions AND generate ad revenue from non-paying subscribers. stop playing wordle, even if it's free.

For any art fans in the Vancouver area, my incredibly talented partner @mijoburch.com has a gallery show with five other local women opening on Nov 21! They're also doing a bunch of free workshops on all kinds of topics that will be really cool! Details here: www.mijoburch.com/art-exhibition

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race, with a campaign that was explicitly supportive of trans rights. Back when he won the primary, I made a video about why that’s such a big deal xtramagazine.com/video/zohran...

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

No matter the platform you should have your default feed be reverse chron of who/what you follow and curate and diversify that feed. You’ll be better informed and less prone to disinfo and group think. This is a hill I will die on.

Jfc I thought my Internet was just being awful.

Compared to someone like Gwen, I haven’t spent nearly as much time monitoring Nazis. It’s alarming how quick that shit will poison you and also desensitize you to some really horrible things. Same goes for monitoring war/genocide footage.
