It's Transgender Visibility Day, and predictably, the online right has spent the last several days harassing a non-binary friend of mine for doing their job excellently. So for the first time in years, I wrote some commentary about the right, and what's wrong. I hope you'll consider reading it.
When right-wing online outrage punches down, we all lose.
Pronouns? In my NDP Convention?

Please know, CBC Vancouver pals, that I would happily watch an all-day livestream of the spider currently hanging out on your live downtown cam.
This is 🇨🇦's most important election in generations. Our sovereignty, public healthcare & more are on the ballot. Please join me in ignoring every pundit/influencer using this moment for snarky engagement-bait all-sidesism. Y'all ain't it. #cdnpoli
Today I am grateful for Pete Hegseth for giving me a new 'rock bottom' with which to measure my bad days.
A complicated day for the politicians who said searching the Prairie Green landfill for the bodies of murdered First Nations women didn’t matter, and the ones who deny deaths at residential schools. May the arc of history omit them all.
Happy Monday; we made you a BC NDP MLA starter pack! go.bsky.app/J9FAVk3 #bcpoli #bcndp
On Monday, BC Conservative Brent Chapman refused to vote to condemn Trump's threats to Canada. Today he's suggesting the 'left' has co-opted Pink Shirt Day. Ending bullying, like ending misinformation, is everyone’s job.Share this to spread the word.
John Rustad spent weeks refusing to stand against tariffs. Then, when BC Conservatives could vote to condemn Trump's attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, five voted no. Meet the MLAs who wouldn’t stand up for Canada —share their names so everyone knows.
A warm fuzzy blanket + closeness to those he loves is all it takes to render my large cat into a blissful puddle. There are lessons in this.
There are 345 million Americans. 155 million of them voted in November. Only 2.2 million votes across the entire country separated Trump and Harris — 0.6% of all Americans. This wasn't a blowout. It's not a mandate. You are not alone in your fight.
To the woman I saw walking up Commercial Drive in a ghillie suit and heels, holding a fashionable umbrella: you have exactly the right energy for 2025. Let's be friends.
Watched The Substance. Need Demi Moore to please wear a big blue ballgown to an award show this season. Extra points if she wears it with a mask of her own face.
Them: "Your mind is at its sharpest while you sleep." My mind: It's 3am and I need to half-wake up and google this exact image for... reasons.
Read through this and rage, and then remember that the only reason all of this happened is because two mediocre men felt were worried a woman would talk about how badly they treated her. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...
Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and a Smear Campaign After ‘It Ends With Us’
Private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

The Democratic Party decides the leading voice of their resistance to Donald Trump should be a 74 year old man with esophageal cancer. Really hard to come up with a better metaphor!

Please: someone, anyone sell me a #TaylorSwift ticket for a non-month's rent price! I will sing your praises to the heavens! Monuments will be made in your honour! Children will know of your kindness! All these riches + more are but a DM away! #TaylorSwiftErasTour
Just a quick reminder that democracy is not automatic and you must diligently tend to its health if you want it to continue.
I can’t even imagine suggesting in public that Biden can somehow restrain Trump by modeling good behavior. Seriously, how embarrassing for anyone who understands that little about the world and what we’re in for. Put on some clown makeup and sit in the corner.
Overheard on Commercial Drive: “Honestly, I am kind of insulted that you see me as a walrus” #eastvan #thedrive #overheard
Yesterday, ~4,000 tickets to Taylor Swift's Vancouver shows went on sale for $16.50. I'm a verified fan and couldn't get in the queue. Now those tickets are up on Stubhub for $2,200 each. I truly, deeply, desperately need someone to explain to me why we can't ban commercial ticket resellers.
Somewhere a pundit right now is laughing, 'well, it's not like there are worse AG options than Matt Gaetz' and in a fetid alley in Nowheresville, USA, the hair on Rudy Guiliani's back stands straight up.
The best part of buying a new cat scratching post is watching my two idiots battle like Scar and Mufasa for top-perch supremacy. #longlivetheking
It's late my love, and life for mice, though short and rife with sorrows, traps, and awful things like cats, has space for quiet moments too. Tonight my sweet, let's me and you go tango like we used to do, under the bench on platform two. bbc.co.uk/news/science...
