The hour draws near! If you ever wanted a fancy functioning nutcracker and a nutcracker that was too sexy and lovesick to function (maybe he also has a restrictive clay beard) tonight is the night! www.32auctions.com/organization...

This was one of the most magical things that I have ever been part of. And as it turns out, the love of my life was also in that room! We didn't meet for another 6 months, but I think we somehow carried this energy with us until we found each other again 🥰 (cc @miaugly.bsky.social i love you darlin)

This entire thing has been so incredibly infuriating, insulting, and embarrassing. I am proud to work for the City of Vancouver - and I am ashamed that this is our leader. The people of this City deserve better - let's get it for ourselves in October.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

In light of Sim saying that he said Orr dealt drugs based on seeing a mystery photo from a mystery person, I think it’s important to reflag this. If this is an uncharitable interpretation, the mayor is free to provide more details of how he ended up seeing such a photo and believing it.

he’s just like me fr

Thx @seanorr.bsky.social! Currently on a plane from Toronto and grateful to be able to follow. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social @kensimcity.bsky.social please, please reconsider this awful budget. Don't hollow out our city for your short term gain - very short, bc this is NOT getting you reelected.

inspiringly hopeful session on the loss of the Institute for Museum & Library Services. so many stories we can tell about the "transformative, utility level impact” of libraries in every community, and ways those stories can help secure funding for US libraries going forward #internetlibrarian

attending #internetlibrarian today, and it's making me long for the old library twitter days, so i'm on a follow spree! hi! how many librarians does it take make the world seem a little less scary and a little more hopeful? a LOT, but damn we're BRIGHT when we get together.

girlfriend of antifa should become the new friend of dorothy for everyone who hates fascism.

don’t worry baby, you won’t get pregnant. We’ll do it

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

i'm gay i shoudn't be allowed to get sick

They're building 50, 60, and 70 floor buildings in the burbs. But in Vancouver, right by Commercial Station, institutional NIMBYism means even a 44 floor rental apt is a years-long fight. Please write in to support rental housing in Vancouver--details below!

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

Chicago Pope sounds like a Dick Wolf series.

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

So stoked to read this!

Just a reminder that I wrote a book, it’s called The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman, it’s out in May via @utexaspress.bsky.social , and you should pre-order it wherever you can.

i love being gay, it brings me so much joy in so many ways - but one reason is that in relationships, we're just people. with baggage and problems to work through together, sure - but without this binary system constantly telling one of us to man up and the other to clean up after them.

This is extremely impressive from Carney. Not so much as a blink or a nod while all this nonsense gets spouted next to him. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

A few years ago I learned that straight people don't like Lwaxana Troi and it blew my mind. Edith Massey was right

@jmcelroy.bsky.social @canadaland.com just in case you're doing a deep dive analysis of election jokes, wanted to make sure you didn't miss this one

I’m ready for the new Chuck Tingle masterpiece: “Pounded by the sheer girth of the Carleton ballot (until I lose my seat.)” #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Dear god let this man cook.

This meeting could have been a walk in the sunshine

Hey @neilsteinberg.bsky.social I wonder if there's a place funded by your tax dollars, open to everyone in your community, where you could get help understanding how public libraries work? northbrook.info

Sinners invites a new bold business idea. What if people want to see movies because they like them and not due to a pavlovian response to being 12 years old once!?

Movie you've watched more than 6 times using gifs. (Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I needed this, you may too.

Wow. Also, "Last year, he clambered down a manhole, broke a police seal, and re-connected electrical circuit breakers to restore electricity to hundreds of homeless people, many of them immigrants, living in an occupied building in Rome."

He is risen

Need these two to start a podcast where all they do is make fun of other podcasts please and thank you

*this is happening* btw. I'm taking my time to make you a nice thing. Be patient. We've got a while 😘.

Finally reading @elamin.bsky.social's beautifully written memoir, and oh boy. Are we ever gonna see a time when this doesn't feel like it was written yesterday? I hope so. I have to believe so. But fuck. It isn't today.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

Would it be weird if I was suddenly… like, into Suzie Toot?

Ok so assuming that @rhysiedarby.bsky.social will be playing Trelane in #snw season 3, @miaugly.bsky.social thinks I should christen my new bsky account with a thread to welcome #ofmd crew to the #startrek universe with some recommended background viewing. #ofmdcrew, you guys game?

Not to get political but I am tired

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
