Danielle Smith's Alberta government has announced that they will use the Notwithstanding Clause to protect three laws (all targeting trans people) from court challenges. NEW from me in @xtramagazine.com on the lies they're using to justify such a massive move ⬇️ xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Friend tried to donate to my Throne, flagged by fraud detection at Bank of America — bank identified the transaction as specially for “giantess voretuber Ana Valens” I suspect I faced those Patreon / Ko-fi dings b/c financial institutions have me, specifically, on record as a high risk recipient!

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status. This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 3,800 hospitalizations, 700 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 25,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities.

Canadian COVID Forecast: Nov 8 - Nov 21, 2025 SEVERE: AB VERY HIGH: CAN, MB, NB, NL, North, NS, QC, SK HIGH: BC, ON, PEI MODERATE: none About 1 in 118 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

I got tired of reading this fake statistic that strangulation during sex was the "second leading cause of stroke in young women". It's not. medium.com/@nicole.prau...

So excited to be part of the line up for @swaidcollective.bsky.social next event! Dust has been gracious enough to donate 50% of drink sales and 10% of food sales back to SWAID! Come in for food, drinks, and some entertainment. Let’s support our community and CRUISE FOR A CAUSE! 🔥👏🏽🥳

Vaccinated to protect against severe illness. Masked to protect against transmission. Layer those protections!

Capitalism thrives on the individual — it is all about one person’s success, one person’s responsibility to themself. And we see that everywhere today, as each of us is forced to become a brand, a marketable individual to survive, and anything communal is devalued and suspect.

Last week, Dean Spade talked about how we’re all being socialized into being anti-social — which is really the heart of most of our problems today — and the only way out is to push ourselves to become social again.

Dal refuses to learn their lesson, and a strike for part time instructors like me (+ TAs/markers) is looking imminent! 🚨Sign on in support: win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

Was all set to cheer and then I read it. "It's not all the time, it's just when you're in that six-feet distance." While I applaud any measure that increases mask usage in health facilities, I would REALLY like for the people making these policies to learn how AIRBORNE spread happens.

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

NS Health's AI apparently programmed with incorrect information. Covid's primary route of transmission is aerosol (airborne), not droplets/surfaces.

🇨🇦's Cybersecurity bill is back! Bill C-8 is Bill C-26's twin. 👯‍♀️ Huge encryption risks, same secret orders. 🚨 Don't let #BillC8 fast track through Parliament. Speak up and tell your MP to #FixBillC8 now! 📣 openmedia.org/FixBillC8-bsky @openmediaorg.bsky.social

I really enjoyed talking to Chris about the histories that shape the current deplatforming efforts affecting NSFW video games! Grateful for him taking this issue seriously. I wanted to share links to some of my colleagues’ work that I mention here:

Thanks to everyone who came to this today. It was such a joy to be in conversation and community with these brilliant people.

Today at 12 pm EST (6 pm CEST)! If you'd like to listen to experts talk about the deplatforming of adult games, you can still sign up.

This Friday, Oct 3, join CUPE3912 for their rally. Great chance to show solidarity for our colleagues @dalhousieu.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

📬 Link to support postal workers and fight for this vital public service: www.cupw.ca/en/campaign/...

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post. If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

genuinely, who cares? public services aren't businesses. it provides services that should be accessible to the entire population. it should not be expected to make that profitable. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children. Every session. Every website. Every keystroke. Monitored and recorded.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
