the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

When I see AI art used for...like anything...I immediately click away. I'm not reading your article, your whatever, if you're using that shit.

For Black History Month, we’re sharing 28 new and newish books by Black authors in Canada. From novels to poetry collections to essays, these books speak to different histories, places, and lived experiences. alllitup.ca/book-list/bo...

NEW: I wrote a little about why I think The Athletic should either correct or retract their puff piece on Britta Curl from December, in light of even more evidence of her anti-trans views. It was a blatant attempt at damage control ahead of the Olympics & The Athletic participated in it.

Since a “ceasefire” was declared in Gaza on October 10, Israel has carried out near-daily attacks on the enclave, killing hundreds of Palestinians and injuring at least 1,443 others. 🔗: aje.io/nt2f3u | AJ Labs | #Infograph

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

PS WE ARE IN THE RED AGAIN AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING BUT WE ARE STILL HERE AND KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS, SO IF YOU WANNA DONATE, HIT THE CHUFFED chuffed.org/project/crip... we gotta reimb people particularly in the UK and Canada but any currency works.

Can’t repost this hard enough.

I can finally share that my next book will officially publish in 2027, and that the good folks at @unmpress.bsky.social will be the ones to bring it out in the US! Thrilled and grateful that I get to keep doing this. More soon!!!!

Today is the 38th anniversary of the Morgentaler decision, which we shouldn't forget as threats to reproductive choice keep rearing their ugly heads. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

got laid off a week and a half ago. going to take some time to figure out where to go from here but in the mean time my schedule is wide-open for freelance writing! would love to place some pieces & work with editors on essays about masculinity, dating, hockey, memes, sex, relationships, etc.

If you, like me, think it's absolutely insane and unacceptable that a Canadian company is supplying the Gestapo with vehicles, find your MP here and send them an email and ask them what they plan to do about it. www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

Thanks for this hot tip! I've sent off an email to my MP. A reminder to Canadians that you can send letter mail to any member of Parliament for FREE. No stamp necessary! Just pop that bad boy in the mail.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

What's cool about seeing people argue with each other about the best way to punish ICE agents for their crimes, do this versus that, is that the conversation is now one taking for granted that they will be held accountable and brutally punished. Not *whether* they will be held accountable.

The photo of the 5-year-old who was arrested by ICE has been circulating on the internet. Here is a story we recently did about the growing number of children being put into ICE detention and what the face, to provide larger context. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

What's Up With COVID and What We Can Do About It: 2026 Edition I've thoroughly updated this public health propaganda zine! With new information about: Adjusting mask fit CO2 monitoring Improving ventilation for infection control Read at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the thread below 👇

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

as someone from western canada it brings something to mind

a new sheer spite book! Trying Unfathomably Hard to Live: Notes on the First Year of a Stroke, by Alyssa Favreau avl here or order from your fav bookstore: sheerspite.ca/product/tryi...

Just a very chill memoir with a very chill title 💙

the vibe on the streets of Minneapolis feels a bit like the rapture - it's common for ICE, when they detain someone, to leave their car abandoned in the middle of the street; those left behind maneuver their cars carefully around the shattered glass as shrill whistles sound off in the distance

Canada has 41.5 million people, and its governing party is posting messages on a platform that are on average viewed by only a few hundred people What do Canadian MPs actually gain from using X? What would Canadian MPs stand to lose by leaving X?

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

I encourage you to read this whole thread from @kateheartfield.com. This is the second post in it, but IMO the most important part. Similar thoughts have been firing through my brain, but I haven’t been able to articulate nearly as well as she did here.

Excellent thread

"Being a man" is not the same thing as being a misogynist or an oppressor. That's what misogynists want men to believe, because they want men to think they can't divest from patriarchy without losing their entire identity.

four years ago i wrote about the intersection of queerness and hockey for @thewalrus.ca — if you've been loving (or feeling a certain way about) Heated Rivalry lately you might find this interesting!

superficially it looks like Iraq all over again, but the fact that nobody is even bothering to lie about a justification — no campaign of disinformation at the UN, no rolling allies to get them in line, not even any pretext of consultation— marks a significant shift in the practice of US imperialism

Grok is built into the platform. Any Canadian politician using X should have to explain why they see fit to use a technology that generates sexually violent images and CSAM on-demand.

I left Twitter the day of the "Salute." I had over 40K followers. I lost a pretty big platform to promote my trainings and advocacy work. But you could not pay me to go back there. Brands and governments who still use it should be loudly and persistently shamed for it.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

i too have begun watching the straight man hockey podcasts discuss heated rivalry. this is the forum of athens to me

Just texted a friend "can you remind me when you're around tomorrow/overmorrow" and I just think if a few of us really gave it a try suuuper casually we could bring back this word for day after tomorrow next year

i made a helpful reference

guys will watch WAKE UP DEAD MAN starring josh o'connor as JUDD DUPLENTICY but won't RE-AWAKEN a near-DEAD MALE friendship by asking "DUDE, DO YOU PLAN TO SEE the new knives out movie, let's go see it together" smh

Remember, masks aren’t just for Covid! They also help protect against colds, flu, measles, RSV and more. They guard against pollution, wild fire smoke and pollen. A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy while also protecting those around you. It’s radical community care.

I think part of the reason the reaction to people arguing *for* GenAI use is so aggressive is that not a single one of these arguments bothers to meaningfully engage with the ethical problems these technologies present. And those ethical problems are monumental. They're not minor.

Two years ago today, the three of us began Crips for eSims for Gaza. Alice, are you reading this? (We know you are.) Today, we’re launching something special we’ve been working on, & we’re grateful Alice was able to see before her passing: our official logo! #ConnectingGaza @thellpsx.bsky.social
