Whoever is going around Toronto sticking giant ants on the light poles about 8 feet up, you'll be pleased to know some tourists at Yonge & Wood were absolutely convinced it was real. They decided to ask their hotel concierge about it, and I hope that concierge enjoyed making up an amazing lie lol

Every Summer these asshats pollute Toronto with their misogynist presence so, while I don't recommend engagement until you've done the special training (for they are too fond of terrorism & doxxing anyone who reacts to them in public) you can easily post these online or give them back as QR codes🤌
Sir Thinksalot@sirthinksalot.bsky.social · 2w agoAlso for the forced-birthers who like to hand out pamphlets or QR codes that go to online tracts, here are two excellent rebuttals: 1) Pastor Dave Barnhart's sermon, "The Unborn are a Convenient Group to Advocate for..." 2) Dr Joyce Arthur's study: joycearthur.com/abortion/the...
Unsurprisingly, the government offices which exist to help 🇺🇲disabled veterans & 🇨🇦disabled civilians are staffed entirely by the worst bigots available. They rely upon the disabled people being too overwhelmed by medical issues & too poor to fight back... until you crowdfund for a top lawyer, bwahaha
A nice find in local #medieval #history!

If your work uses AI bots or LLM research apps, just be honest & say that you hate disabled people. Even the "disabled assistant" LLM app that helps me type can't help but say stupid ableist crap. My doctor's hospital has just rolled out an AI resesrch assistant that does it too. Exhausting.
