I'm convinced 99% of transphobia is straight dudes being terrified that they will be attracted to a trans woman, and will thereby be made gay.*

*That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Of course! I was only responding to the idea that people can offset increased grocery prices with lifestyle changes but can't make similar changes to lessen the impact of gas price increases. I don't want people to feel completely powerless.

Absolutely! We are all going to feel this. I was just responding to the idea that people can make lifestyle changes to lower their grocery bills, but are powerless in the face of gas price changes. There *are* things that individuals can do to lessen the pain a bit.

I think you're right. I just wanted to push back gently on the idea that people can make lifestyle changes to save money at the grocery store, but are helpless in the face of gas price changes. Most people can save money by doing some or all of these things.

I actually did this - traded a big SUV for a small hybrid. I carried my three kids just fine, on the occasions when we couldn't bike or take transit. But you don't have to! It was simply mentioned as one option that people have.

I get what you’re saying, but there are things people can do. Carpool; trip chain; bike or take transit for some trips; even sell a big car to buy a smaller one or a hybrid or EV.

Exceptional Women of East Village 2026 | East Village Calgary In honour of International Women’s Day, we are showcasing four exceptional women who are helping shape East Village in ways both visible and quietly powerful. They are advocates, artists, connectors, ...

My neighbourhood thinks I'm pretty neat.

I'm grateful for this recognition on #IWD2026. As a trans person, every instance of affirmation, being seen and accepted by the communities in which I'm engaged, matters deeply.

Not only is this the moral thing to do, it's an amazing opportunity for Canada to welcome some of the bravest, brightest, and most creative people. America's loss is our gain.

I dont think the war in Iran is "JusT A DiStrAction fRom EpStein" but if the Dems had any political savy, they would all just start calling it The Epstein War.

Springtime window displays are with toadstools and rabbits.

There are some amazing window displays right now on Government Street. The Sabayon one is great. Same with the one at Munros. This one is at Murchies! #yyj #victoriabc #windowshopping

Tell anyone using gen AI to knock it off. It's built on stolen words/art, and it's ghastly for the environment.

Plus, it makes shit up and gets so much shit wrong. It's solving a problem no one had by way of insisting a pile of manure is actually a brownie.

Sure, you COULD eat the shit, but why?

Now that we found out (from the e-mails/ court documents) that transphobia became a campaign because Epstein raped a 16 year old trans girl, and she sued him, don’t TERFS feel fucking stupid?

I can’t argue with you there. It also doesn’t look as though most of the public does, either.
