Things that made me smile this month as an American in Canada 🇨🇦

“UNHhhh” in the #comics

And here I get touchy about some nowadays trying to lock me out of identifying as "queer" because I don't look a certain way. Whether you like it or not, "queer" is an umbrella term for all of us and one of the most successful reclamations of a slur.

The Democratic Party has failed to meet the moment and the internal threats to the US at every turn the past decade+

please stop making eye contact with my service dog and saying "im not allowed to say hi to you" because you see, this makes him insane

Since 2010, there's been ONE movie to top the yearly box office that wasn't based on pre-existing IP -- and it was American Sniper.* (I'd argue Barbie wasn't meaningfully based on existing IP, but YMMV) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Oh shit my term as GNCRT President-Elect starts today

4 SCOTUS justices voted against the unambiguous Constitutional right of citizenship, and mainstream Democrats are STILL being all timid on the topic of expanding, nay right-sizing, the Court.

there is no group of people who deserve quasi-suspect class status more than trans people. I swear to god, people need to read Carolene Products. They are a discrete and insular minority with zero political power as evidenced by the fact that they're being attacked left right and center.

After-gym treat

Over the weekend I was searching for a corndog, because every Pride I get a corndog from a food truck. Our group kept talking about finding "pogos," and I was like, "I don't know why they are going on about pogos when I want a corndog, but okay." Turns out Canadians call corndogs pogos.

I'm watching Mothra and Mothra vs. Godzilla, and I love what an anti-capitalist queen she's been since the beginning.

Supergirl returns to the world of fried chicken movie tie-ins, and I return to @popheist.com to put my intestinal fortitude on the line and explore KFC's "Supergirl Ultimate Meal." #Supergirl popheist.com/review-super...

My first Pride here in Canada and the dang Head of Government (thanks Nick) showed up!

Tonight starting at 5:30pm join us as we celebrate the first ever GNCRT Outstanding Comic Awards!

If capitalism at #pride is so bad, explain this

“We’ll even take money from f@ggots.” #ally

Okay, Republicans become Nazis, Democrats become Republicans, and democratic socialists become moderate politicians with perfectly reasonable policies. The US has no extreme left

Relaxing before the Pride parade eating donuts and watching John Wick 3: Parabellum, and dammit, I love my marriage

The after-midnight howl of laughter I just emitted

He won’t get off my iPad

Sorry I had to miss #alaac26 but happy I didn’t have to miss my first #toronto #pride

Lemme read some comics 😌🙂‍↔️

This was an emotional week for reading #comics Two very emotionally challenging works in here

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 👀

Every generation has their take on DC's heroes, but for those who came of age in the the new millennium, nothing quite compares to the DCAU.

#1 thing I don't miss about working with the public is being called a gay slur at least once a year. And when it happens it sticks with you all year long, I don't care how thick your skin is.

First thunderstorm of the summer! 🩶 🌩️

This has been a very emotional week, but now I have Avatar and my first Toronto Pride I can look forward to

A lot of my American trauma is manifesting as a deep worry for my Canadian friends because of Danielle Smith’s stupid, stupid pandering.

I’ll have lots of FOMO from having to cancel my ALA plans, but, seeing as how exhausting this week has already been…it’s definitely for the best.

Chuck Dixon says he's getting paid from the Batman: Knightfall movies, so maybe I'll be thinking twice about watching them. Maybe if they come to Crave. But just...ew.

What can we do to make eBooks affordable for libraries? This is a good read 📚

in traditional comics lettering the pronoun "I" should be barred on top and bottom, whereas other i's aren't haha

Name a film with a title that is a full sentence (It irritates me to no end they leave the question mark off “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”)

Oh lord, this is well-intentioned, but that headline reeks of scope creep. Gives me flashbacks to having to learn to administer narcan, CPR, crisis management, and ALL kinds of other stuff at public libraries without a pay increase of any kind. 📚 #PubLibs

“I was born Mormon and still am, but I am a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community, I give loads of money to LGBTQ causes, am actively trying to change the church’s stance, and much more.” “Ew, but you’re a Mormon so you’re the enemy.” That’s how some of you sound re: Brandon Sanderson.

Snatches are some of the most complicated movements for me. Even after a couple years of #crossfit I still keep them light and still have trouble with form

*shoving a 20 piece Chicken McNuggets into my gaping maw* “‘Overeating’ is homophobic, this is BULKING.”

Could NOT be more excited for this book. Hold on to your butts, folks. Cuz this is the REAL deal.

why have i known all my life that Van Gogh painted sunflowers and night skies, but i didn’t know until last week that he painted crabs

I really can't wait to bring our new nonprofit platform to the world. I'm so excited for y'all to see it. 📚

Saw a take about the elections tonight saying that "extremists" on the left winning over establishing Dems won't be good because it will create even more extremes on the right. There is no "extreme" left in American politics. Mamdani and his like have perfectly reasonable policies.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

My wonderful husbeast surprised me with my first True North Bear!!! #carebears

Why is this animated Batman: Knightfall Trilogy rated R when the comics they were based on were, like, not that? They were not a "mature readers" thing.

This leaves me very worried for friends of mine in the U.S., including a good friend who visits his family in Korea every other year.

This latest book I'm reviewing might be the one that breaks me. 📚
