The YouTube outage started right after I finished watching the forbidden Colbert interview with James Talerico and that coincidence made my brain go to some strange places

Whenever there's a heat wave, I see all these social media posts about the importance of rescuing animals trapped in hot cars, and I love to see it. Truly. It just feels incongruent with the ways people insist I'm naïve for thinking we can normalize bystander intervention for hate and harassment.

You know how quickly you would rescue a dog trapped in a hot car? I want you to have the same energy for people in distress around you. That's what bystander intervention is - showing up for each other, regardless of whether we know each other or not.

The only thing keeping me motivated while house hunting right now is the sounds of my partner giggling and playing with our two daughters on the days we have sleepovers. The market is BLEAK, but I want this every. Day. Forever.

Side note- the only reason I’m not out there this weekend is that if I wait until election day my polling place becomes my apartment building lobby. Can’t get much more convenient than that

Seems time to state once again, that I know and love trans people, I know and love genderqueer people, I know and love autistic people. (And I know people for whom those realities overlap!) They are not a burden to society and their existence does not threaten me, my gender or my life in any way.

Campbells Soup is trying to pull a fast one. Their soup hasn't been made in Canada since 2018, but they have printed a Maple Leaf on the label, representing it is. The Maple Leaf is not an official Canada label. This is a marketing ploy! Beware!

Oh FFS Ontarians. Stop saying there wasn't enough exposure about Ford's corruption. Every single person in Ontario knows Doug Ford and his very long history. Right from his time in Council with his screwed up brother. 55% of progressives could have ended him. They chose not to. #cdnpoli #onpoli

As you go through your day in Ontario remember all the idiots you encounter can also vote. Guy who takes up 4 parking spots at Costco with their giant truck: he votes. Lady at the post office trying to mail a live chicken: she votes. Sun opinion columnist: they vote. Go vote and fight the stupid.

A reminder that Ontario is having an election next Thursday and you should vote. Also…you should vote for ANYONE but Doug Ford, especially if you’re all ramped up on Canuck pride after last night’s hockey game. He’ll sell out to Trump and Musk first chance he gets. Doug Ford sucks.

Never get tired of the people from my hometown who spend 360 days a year complaining about their taxes and the other five wonders why snow removal isn't instantaneous. Huh, I wonder if your obsessive desire not to pay for public services reduces those services' effectiveness.

I feel bad for my boyfriend sometimes. Because the most sensible man on the planet has to occasionally answer unhinged texts from me saying “please confirm you aren’t mad at me/ don’t hate me/ arent going to break up with me so I can focus for the rest of the day” And bless him, he will 🥰

I need you all to know there is a person running for *Liberal* leadership in Canada who is branding herself as the “female Donald Trump” and threatening deportations …and she Facetunes herself to like, Tana Mongeau levels

Image shows Liberal leadership candidate Ruby Dhalla in a red blazer with a face that is as smooth and blurred as a stick of butter. We’re talking a whole different face here. She looks like she stole Kylie Jenner’s face from 2016 and smeared Vaseline over the camera lens before taking her picture

Image shows the real Ruby Dhalla in a CBC interview. She has a normal, human, age-appropriate face with heavy makeup (no judgement on that — I love makeup! But I do judge her ridiculous policy positions!)

The man who thought this was a good idea is either a) a wrestler/bodybuilder b) a ‘bio hacker” c) a consumer of questionable podcasts of the rouge capsule variety or d) all of the above. And no matter what the answer, I pray there wasn’t a second date.

Begging #OttCity to at the very least start cross posting to Bluesky if not end X altogether. It’s unacceptable that our gov, our council, our agencies and imp social services only use some forms of communication, cutting off ppl from important info.
