Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
The myth underlying this is that trans people (trans women specifically) were ever "invisible." We were objects of fascination, scorn, mockery, and fetishizing long before 2014 (for about the entire history of mass media really). What really broke a lot of brains was the idea we deserved dignity

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
Tell the FCC that LGBTQ Stories Don’t Need a Warning Label | GLAAD
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous...

Canadians, tell your MPs to vote NO on bill C22. There's a one-click option to do so in the thread!
OpenMedia@openmedia.org · 4mo agoBREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes. This should be our final alarm bell:.We can have privacy or we can have C22, not both! #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
i think if billionaires wanted to receive more respect and deference from the population at large they wouldn't say shit like this
Quinn Slobodian@quinnslobodian.com · 4mo ago3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Finished drafting the chapter that’s been giving me trouble AND reached a new best in Pokémon Champions today If the Habs win and Victoire boots Britta Curl from finals contention tonight on top of that I may actually become Too Powerful™️

My request for Montréal tonight is simple: Please shoot more than nine times this game. I can’t do another game like that, not after Victoire’s triple overtime last night
Minnesota v Colorado is going to be THAT series of round 2, huh
Big Hockey doesn't want you to know that taking shots in the second period isn't necessary
This might be the most stressful 1-0 lead I’ve ever seen what the HELL
We should never forgive our government for its response to Israel's genocide in Palestine. Oh, whoops, I mean the "challenging circumstances" Israel put Palestine through, my bad

Getting home just in time for Habs overtime has to be a good sign* *Please I’m emotionally involved now
