Queer, non-binary, social worker, all round liberal weirdo, never got a box.
No, Pierre, taxes aren’t a punishment for working hard. Taxes are a commitment we make to our country and fellow citizens to help everyone have a safe and secure place to live. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

It's clear that this wasn’t just a simple uneducated misstep. Rep. Mace’s repeated use of an anti-trans slur is part of her hyper-calculated, pathetic scramble to viciously attack her transgender and LGBTQ constituents. @advocate.com @cwnewser.bsky.social www.advocate.com/politics/nan...
Anti-trans Republican Nancy Mace doubles down on dehumanizing transphobic slur during hearing
The GOP chair of the committee refused to condemn Mace's comments saying, “I’m not up to date on my politically correct LGBTQ terminology.”

I’m saying this so it’s very, very clear - my timeline is a trans/queer/gender safe space. If you are a cis gender person and you even imply that trans and gender queer people need to be policed in any way, you can find unfriend button and leave.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
David Lynch was right. The celebrated "tormented artist" trope is toxic as hell. Great artists aren't great because their pain and sadness "makes them better". Their art is possibly the only place where they find solace. They'd be much better off being happy.
One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
Not feeling eloquent, logical,objective, or even cogent today. Just tired and sad. Scanning Bluesky for sweet posts and memes.
He’s showing up to a gunfight with no bullets. Hate to see it. 🤷🏻♂️
“Pierre Poilievre made hating Justin Trudeau his entire personality. Now that Trudeau is resigning, Poilievre has nothing to oppose. His supporters have no one left to blame. There is no anti-Trudeau wave left to ride. And the election is a long way away.”
No, I really don’t want to follow an AI Tarot reading account…..
2/3 The other person objected to my implying she was/calling her cis. She stated that she was a woman and had strong feelings about being referred to as cis. I understood that she was saying she was a normal woman and didn’t want to be identified as cis b/c trans women….
1/2 I am a trans ally, all the time, everywhere. Stepped away from a conversation about trans women and bathrooms when I got blasted for saying cis women don’t get to exclude trans women from spaces.
I know that self-serving people exist. I know it’s easy to fall for self-serving rhetoric when situations are complex and analysis is complicated. I wish that empathy was as easy. I’ll own my hypocrisy when I dislike people who don’t think like me, but I’m not advocating for them to lose rights.
Cut ties with a family member today. Didn’t when they participated in the Flu Trucks Klan but now they’re trumpeting transphobic rhetoric and I’m not going to debate human rights with them again.
This sign in a photo taken by a friend at a rally in Halifax today sums up why the “parental rights” argument being made by the anti-trans protesters in the country today so weak. 🧵 1/
This. I mean, legislating that people can't do what they want with their own body is a dangerous slippery slope. I mean people think of the other obvious things like birth control, but what else? Forbidding certain types of piercings? Making tattoos illegal?
Trans liberation not in the sense of please let us pitiful creatures become a new consumer class, trans liberation as in we should do whatever we want with our bodies however we damn well feel

Remember how Black people said police need to stop killing us in 2020 & for a couple months everybody else was like wow that actually sounds like a good idea & but then cops kept getting funded & now we have acres of military training camps for cops & police drone warfare against people's barbeques?
Straight people: "LGBTQ people want to groom and sexualize children!" The same straight people: *will actually make their extremely young children wear this*
