LGBTQ2S+ archives like @arquives.ca, @ottawatranslibrary.bsky.social, @invisiblehistories.bsky.social and @leatherarchives.bsky.social preserve our past. They can also drive our future, writes @ainopihlak.bsky.social.

it is dangerous to wave away the anti-trans rhetoric of Kirk and his ilk as uncontroversial. the rights of trans people in Canada hang by a thread — reminder that the current leader of the federal opposition doesn't believe in trans identities tinyurl.com/44pvcm38

appalling that in their article about Charlie Kirk's "most controversial takes" the CBC fails to mention that Kirk called for violence against trans people tinyurl.com/24y6bt69

Also the violent displacement of queer and trans housless people at Barbara Hall park for the 519’s genocide-funded corporate pride party was despicable. Hold the organization meant to support us and our unhoused and underserved neighbours accountable — and don’t spend your money at Green Space!

The Leather Pride flag was designed in 1989 by Tony DeBlase after a discussion with Sashie Hyatt about the need for a banner to unite the leather, kink and fetish communities. This watercolor from the LA&M archives was one of several design options. #LeatherPride #PrideFlags

Belated announcement: GUTMACHINE is playing a benefit show for our local trans community this coming Monday @ Houndstooth!!! Come out June 16 — we have an entire evening of cabaret performances and music, all for the local cause!

thank you so so much to the people who donated over the weekend… I feel like nothing I say can properly express the way that I feel to people who have helped me during difficult times. All I can say is thank you.

Arcade tonight, last one for a minute! 💕

I’m playing two sets at a trans benefit show put on by my love in public seating diy in kitchener-waterloo. June 28 @ The Heuther Hotel. Please come and support our shared resilience ans resistance for trans healthcare and survival.
