"we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful" Naomi Klein always worth reading because she centres action

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd. So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines? It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny. #NeverPoiLIEvre

Also Julie S. Lalonde's bystander intervention webinar is excellent - I'm so glad I took it!

Imperative to vote AGAINST this man!

This is really true

I don’t know what I want. I said that at some point, I think. But it isn’t that, it’s that I don’t want anyone to tell me what I want, or to make decisions for me.

Cory Booker speech incredibly moving

🏳️‍⚧️Happy Trans Day of Visibility. No LGB without the T 🏳️‍⚧️

I felt this would be the point where a human would sigh, so I sighed.

This is fascism

(I often think, "what would Murderbot do?")

There is no governing, only decrees, propaganda, demonizing of trans people, disappearing students off the streets and the relentless destruction of free & functioning society. Very important to vote against conservatives this election I know it's what Murderbot would do

elbows up toronto public meeting pretty awesome

as someone who once couldn't pay back a loan for loose cigarettes, klarna financing groceries/takeout is 100% predatory

Canada should ban political advertising on social media

Careless People is a banger of a feel-bad beach read. Then it gets into the role of Facebook & elections... and all you can think of is how we need to regulate social media to protect democracy. And also how social media has tricked us into thinking we can't regulate it. We can!

MD here: Be wary of Poilievre. He is not just going after PM Carney’s child as a one-off political attack. He’ll go after the health care rights of all 2SLGBTQ+ He’s a threat to our patients, families, colleagues. As PM Carney said to Barton, look inside yourselves. Keep bigotry out of Canada.🇨🇦

This is really true

The history of protest music is often incorrectly associated with men.

Oh, shit. Seriously: oh, shit.

Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.

Blink Twice is the ONLY movie I saw last year that I still think about

Oh right, I often have complex emotional reactions which I can’t easily interpret.

“He told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary. He offered no further explanation.”

All your fake Canadian girlfriends just broke up with you

I didn’t want to answer any reasonable questions.

Rachel Tashjian on the red carpet dress as body horror can be read on her instagram I think she's right

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

The tooth-in-eye surgery comes to Canada. Surgeons removes a patient's tooth, usually the canine, installing a plastic optical lens inside it, and then implanting the whole thing into the eye. The body doesn't reject the tooth because, well, it's your own tissue. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

I had to sleep on it but now I'm pretty sure -- the gowns are wearing us

The NYRB is really good right now - tl;mr (too long must read)

For my entire existence, at least the parts I could remember, I had done nothing but accept the inevitable. I was tired of it.

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

Obsessed with Helly R's shoes on Severance and the cafeteria lunches in Le Bureau des Légendes

In Preservation culture, asking payment for anything considered necessary for living (food, power sources, education, the feed, etc.) was considered outrageous, but asking payment for life-saving help was right up there with cannibalism.

This is well worth your time. A talk Cory Doctorow gave in Toronto yesterday pluralistic.net/2025/02/26/u...

I got The Dwindling Party as an opening night present for the first play I was ever in & it blew my mind

I am absolutely loving the visuals so far! Love Tommy Arnold’s description of “a Coach bag crossed with an oven” re the branding 😂 A friend made this—they’re not on BlueSky so I said I’d share… ♥️

Jaws?

I just realized my life is like boring Uncut Gems

Pierre Poilievre is against all of this. #cdnpoli #peipoli
