This isn't directly what Kate is talking about here (different country/context!), but I have a couple friends who are pregnant right now in Québec, and the provincial govt refusing to cover COVID-19 boosters for pregnant people makes me incandescently angry as a repro justice issue. Go buy the book!

As a committed prison abolitionist, it is my sincere belief that the Tate brothers should be sent back to England in a ship, which mysteriously sinks to the bottom of the ocean

'And of course, fascists love to be able to categorize people in order to oppress or destroy them, and anti-trans liberals are helping them determine “womanhood” as an immutable category. Fascists will build a prison for cis women built out of trans people’s bones.'

Bodybuilding is everything to Jules Sherred. But when he was barred from competing, the Duncan based advocate took his fight to the BC Human Rights Tribunal. We sat down with him to learn more about why he continues to fight in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile towards trans athletes.

Q&A: Jules Sherred Takes Fight to BC Human Rights Tribunal – The Discourse.

Sherred talks modern Pride, the struggle to be included in sports and why he keeps fighting for the entire trans community

I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Happy 68th Birthday to the great Gary Oldman 🎂 First time I saw him was in '86 in Sid and Nancy, then '87 Prick Up Your Ears. I knew then he'd be a force to be reckoned with.

Doctors calling for independent assessment of health impacts from oil and gas industry | CBC News

Public health physicians in B.C. are calling for an independent assessment of health impacts from the oil and gas industry. The request comes from the Health Officers’ Council of B.C., who passed a resolution in November 2025 outlining the need for an assessment.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal. After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos. Here’s my investigation:

NEW FROM ME: While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game
