US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra retweets call to annex Canada

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Delaney Hall is a freaking concentration camp and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social is using the state police to protect it from protesters.

Not to put the particular person on blast, they’re just the latest example of a kind of rhetorical device that drives me insane -“asking a question” that shows the unequal treatment in the media that everyone paying attention knows is real. Like, at a certain point who is this for, y’know?

I really feel like Iran is pretty clearly not the problem here, “hard-liners” or not.

Freelancing is hard enough already, and inflation sucks. Defector is raising our base freelance rates by 20 percent. Great time to pitch us. Email me or [email protected]

Avi Lewis: "Canada is now living a new chapter of the shock doctrine story. It's also known as the political strategy of flooding the zone. The Carney government right now is pursuing an agenda of shocking scale and speed."

Fuck anyone saying "if this were happening to any other community" when it comes to anti rights backslides and threats to community events. We are all of us facing escalating hate crimes and all of us have been for a long time.

In the book I am (slowly) writing, “Small Gods” are the gods of specific and small things, like “the god of tea cups,” or “god of tables”. They’re something that few people believe in anymore, but show up in curses and exclamations, for example- “Small gods chew your ears!”

When you share something really cute, or funny, or on point, some will share it without alt-text. But many more people won't share posts with images that don't have alt-text. It's about the desire to create a welcoming environment for everyone. Yet we can't ignore that's not a value held by some*.

Critical listen

This is the concept that allows me to wish for a better world.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

Quarterly Review with the Vampire Performance Improvement Plan with the Vampire

Everything I know about the Beatles and the associated members has been actively against my will.

FYI all these specific men have refused their wives a gett (a Jewish divorce) and have left them chained in a deeply unjust system. This is the "name and shame" portion of the program. May the women get to justice and freedom from these abusers. Please amplify in the relevant spaces.

ICE has a large transport bus at Delaney Hall right now as the hunger & work strike inside stretches into its 6th day. Activists had speculated that ICE would move everyone out of state to break the strike, destabilize their cases, and remove them from their families. Those inside know these risks.

Hey pals! I just ordered a book via Bookshop.org, which is not only *not* Amazon, it actually supports whatever local indie book store you choose - and oh hey! What's this I have here? Why, it's a refer-a-friend code so you can save 20% on your own order! Yay books! 🎉 refer.bookshop.org/wzh2gw22

since apparently JKR is spouting nonsense about "gametes" again, here is my in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become so obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

Eid Mubarak to my friends who observe 🫂💜

We live in a hell world.

Yall are not hearing me. Last week the Mutual Aid app I created saved 3 Black Women including a disabled Black Woman from eviction, paid their overdue bills, cleared their rent. If you’re reading his, a follow is all we ask, so we can become big enough to do this for more people per day.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

If you never read the book, you should, and if you did, you know this would be an incredible stage production!

And a reminder that the recording is at the $30 tier! I don’t think there are currently plans for a wider release later (Andrew correct me if I’m wrong lol)

Boycott Uline, a shipping supplies company owned by the Uihlein family. When you buy their products, you're financing right-wing cruelty and corruption.

I made this meme some years ago and it just popped up in my phone photo memories and… welp.

i remember 3 years ago when judith butler said this, in the guardian, and the guardian proceeded to cut it out of their article and censor them.

Rest in Peace to Sonny Rollins.

At least the Americans can call for impeachment- we’re pretty much stuck with this fucker unless the Governor General uses powers they’ve literally never used and would probably create an even worse parliament.

This is a crisis. If you have a buck to spare, there is a list of orgs attached who could use your help.

Fun fact for women looking into our post-breakdown future- the first birth control pills (AKA the first HRT pills for trans women) were made with estrogen distilled from pregnant horse urine. Y’know, just a fun craft you can try at home. In Minecraft.

The US is still upholding a genocidal blockade against Cuba.

There is justice in this world, or at least, an alleviation of struggle, which is not the same but certainly helps.

I’m dealing with a lot of feelings like this right now. I just want you to know you’re not alone.

We're at about 93% now---please help Emma meet her goal and fund her surgery!

Yes, once again the actual existing Andy Burnham, a man with no principles, morals, or backbone, shows himself not to be the great shining hope of the liberal left that journalists who've never paid attention to anything outside the M25 have allowed themselves to imagine him as.

this Labour Government has largely presided over the sharpest uptick in racial, religious, and LGBT+ violence in my lifetime and it's hard to really stress just how much Labour actively chose this

This is why I get so frustrated with "you want THIS guy in the women's room?" followed by a pic of a trans man as some kinda "gotcha". No, they don't want trans men in EITHER bathroom. Trans men get zero options.

This such a bummer- FIYAH magazine is such an incredible place for spec fic.

It is and has always been that deep, and never let anyone blow you off and tell you differently.

For @ms.now I wrote about Barney Frank. www.ms.now/opinion/barn...

We don't need dire wolves or wooly mammoths anyway. We don't have the ecosystems to support them. And we don't need to gene edit distant relatives to save current species, we need to have better environmental practices.

This is my mutual aid request. I haven't met a monthly hoal sonxe December 2025 and debt is building up which I need to pay down and it's harder and harder to squeak by.
