Here’s the thing about white supremacy in BC today: The Premier and opposition party have spent the last year saying “First Nations are coming for your homes. Private property is sacrosanct.” These politicians deny such statements are stoking racist backlash. But they are

a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time

pure white nationalist revisionism revealed as canadian woman, so racist she managed to overcome her party's monstrous misogyny problem and get party leadership, wants the term 'First Nations' gone, almost certainly cos it establishes pre-colonial legitimacy. cheknews.ca/its-degradin...

Scientists just found the first-ever name of a Maya astronomer. His name was Sak Tahn Waax, meaning “White-chested Fox.” Maya astronomers have long lived in obscurity, uncredited for their work. Now we finally have a name. #Archaeology #AncientMaya @antiquity.ac.uk 🧪🏺 New at #NationalGeographic

Indigenous people make up 5% of the population but 75% of the people living on the street in Winnipeg. Poverty is the byproduct of colonial systems of oppression and genocide but is treated like a personal failure when many are born into it

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

A vital piece of trans allyship is actually in supporting children's rights to bodily autonomy from the out. Someone is complaining their child wants to cut their hair short or grow it long? Point out that it's the child's hair. Why shouldn't they have it how they want it? Why is that parent upset?

not saying being queer is a choice, more that "is it a choice" should stop being the key question this isn't a criminal trial where we're deciding if you're culpable enough to charge you with first degree gay or if we can knock it down to manslover

Sometimes, when the pizza craving hits, it’s about getting that lovely Neapolitan style crust and simple, quality toppings. Other times, it’s about gooey slop on a doughy crust. Tonight it is the latter.

Being autistic and way above my head in college and grad school was not fun, especially as the first person in my family to go to college and grad school 🫠 Yes, I am doing well academically. No, I have no idea what I'm doing, I desperately need help, and have approximately 2 friends.

Also, once you're considered "gifted," no one helps you. I literally had teachers (even in grad school) be like, "Oh, I don't worry about you. You're a pro." No, I am not, but I also have a complex about being a bother, so now, there's zero chance I will ask for help or express that I'm struggling.

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

If you’re excited about the social media ban, I’d love to know how you will be ensuring that young people have places to safely hang out and socialise? Especially for queer and disabled young people, who have historically used the Internet to find community and resources.

Was wearing my “war on cars” shirt earlier today, so what if we go for the _really_ unpopular opinion — people who don’t want to share a road with bikers… no longer get to share a road with bikers. We can give you exactly what you’re asking for. How about no “bike” lanes at all, just “lanes”.
