I've made an email template for Québécois to send to your MNA & the Minister of Health asking for the government to bring back Novavax this fall & to make the COVID vaccine free for everyone. Please share and email your MNA + the Minister of Health: drive.proton.me/urls/BYHTPNC...

For my own wellbeing, I’m going to start believing that these articles are rage bait instead of being serious.

It is the perfect day for taking ridiculous selfies with goats

The Uk needs a version of Hot Ones but for desi food called Curried which is hosted by Tim Curry, there you go, I just made your network eleventy billion dollars

There was a great tumblr post someone made after doing research for Regency women's names. They dug through a lot of records and had some great information - 62% of the women had 1 of 5 names. It's bonkers and a really fun read. www.tumblr.com/yeoldenews/7...

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I just saw someone lumping Egale in with Stonewall because "they haven't really done anything since marriage equality" and... please make an appointment for a perspective adjustment, apparently you need it 😑

There are other orgs in the UK that are doing good work to support trans rights, hopefully those still donating to Stonewall can re-direct their funds to those.

It's worth considering those Stonewall chair's comments about Rowling as they seem to be intended - an olive branch to the GC community and a signal that Stonewall is one of the 'good ones' now. There is literally no other reason to say what she said otherwise.

Fun facts regarding the Eugenics Promoters, Jonathan Anomaly filed a lawsuit against Rationalwiki, and the page url for his profile is now excluded from Wayback Machine 😬 www.pinkerite.com/2025/03/jona...

This is single handedly the funniest scene from any Star Trek

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

I love how much work went into this.

It's not "frustration with modern dating" but "refusal to be anything but a narcissistic asshole"

Same, girl. Same.

Incredible thread!

We already KNOW how to make super babies, you eugenicist creeps! And it's all the things you fucking fucks are fucking up! THREAD!

So why don't you include a photo credit? taskandpurpose.com/news/august-...

More useful vocab from German -

This. Every fucking centrist party on the planet is like "we're putting money back into the pocket of hardworking [insert your country here]" and then it's like $350 for my family. 1) we're fine. Fuck off 2) where we're not fine is where that money should have been spent 3) Actually, know what?...

The youngest #kakapo alive: Awarua-A3, 17 days old today. Despite appearances, she’s doing well. She won’t be leaving the nest until mid-June. It’s a long breeding season! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds.

Continuing with the theme of "stacking things" - another hideout!

My struggle on today's hike home from work will be like that of Odysseus.

It seems like the latest version of "women are irrational, that's all there is to that" with - by extension - "therefore they should not be allowed control over their own lives", and every one of these articles makes a choice to avoid that fundamental point

a problem that has been getting increasingly worse in recent years, everyone wants to just argue about the point of a thing they didn't read beyond the headline of. People want the convenience of being already mad more than they want to sit and do nothing but read and think and feel for a minute.

Aside from everything else going on here... a lot of women my age (not "young", ha ha) have also chosen not to have kids and/or have avoided being involved romantically with assholes. And Greta's not old enough to have had an influence there.

no one likes historians because every time someone says “oh this is unheard of” historians are all like “well actually” and fundamentally it just doesn’t sound as impressive if you have to say “in these slightly precedented times”

No affordable housing and food for Ontario residents though, those things are "socialist". 😑 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

And how much of that 95% of supply is being marketed/priced as "luxury" when that's not what most people need?

Happy 7th birthday to my sourdough starter.

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

This is a really odd argument because I think at the heart of it, there is a deep misunderstanding about what writing is for. I write to communicate my thoughts and ideas, and to bring people along with me, which AI cannot do for me because it isn't me.

This wasn't my block, but I do actually block people who "correct" the way other people speak/write on social media

I look at this guy and I think "yes, you would probably make me angry"

Very helpful coworker over here

It's nonsensical when they say this. "OK, how about you pay my rent!"

Nearly one-fifth of Alberta MLAs and almost half of its MPs are landlords. The results are playing out in Edmonton, where skyrocketing rents and a homelessness crisis have pushed thousands out of their homes while hundreds die on the streets.

In 2023, the Examiner published @suzannerent.bsky.social's blockbuster investigatory report on Sobeys' anti-competitive practices, which inspired Jacob Flipp to find the underlying documents across Canada.

My friend got promoted at his construction job and now he has to take a three day course on asbestos and let me tell you I was not prepared for what a construction worker's course on asbestos looks like

I don't like to judge people for how they look. However, to me, Erika Kirk always looks like laser beams are about to shoot out of her eyes.

I don't know how I forgot about Sanjeev Bhaskar playing a narcissistic biscuit maestro on "Midsomer Murders"

This is the level of ridiculousness I need right now
