Fell into watching 1923 from a trip to family. Not my usual, but I gotta say the line 'Canada is worse' is a banger.

Someone: Tries to have a spontaneous intimate conversation.

Me: No three day notice? No agenda items? I have no notes and I don't understand why you expect a clear and coherent response.

Someone:????

I swear OC Transpo pays people to drive their car around with a GPS tracker faking buses to keep their times.

I've lost all hope and respect for our current Parliament. Both sides.

I don't think assassination is right. More because it doesn't work than a moral imperative.

Ottawa mayor says he won't attend Capital Pride events following pro-Palestinian statement Ottawa mayor says he won't attend Capital Pride events following pro-Palestinian statement.

A note on Capital Pride being cancelled. Last year Queers 4 Palestine encouraged a pro-Palestinian stance and because Jewish ppl felt left out neither the mayor or anyone from the Liberal party showed up. So this position the mayor is taking is disingenuous

I missed the Ottawa Pride weekend but following up on all the news and comments, I am appalled at the amount of queer people lulled into such complacency that they talk about voting conservative to get back at the left. The ignorance and naivety is straight up scary.

Ottawa subreddit has really gone up to bat for corporate pride. Ya hate to see it.

if corporate pride is your only source of queer joy you are starving yourself for no reason & you deserve better

You are not being respectable enough for the people who are already trying to take away your rights!

If you want to see how many people think being queer is about one corporate parade a year please see the Ottawa reddit, sigh.

I think I had the most mature break up of my life and I have never felt more lost.

For anyone saying it is just attrition, just inefficiencies, you are not up to date. It has been very clearly stated there will be layoffs. This from the government who promised to cap not cut to get votes.

A voter's ballot turning into bombs. No matter who you vote for the rich stay rich, the poor stay poor, and the bombs never stop.

Carney promised resistance and delivered retreat Carney became prime minister on the backs of progressive voters desperate to stop a Trump–Poilievre axis from sweeping North America. But so far, his policies have served mainly to placate Trump and v...

“His real plan was to be Pierre Poilievre—without the drama. To build alliances with Trump and Netanyahu abroad while failing the working class at home. That’s the agenda that has prevailed so far, leading him into conflict with many of the voters who put him in office.”

While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions. They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end. Credible reporting now suggests that your organization has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear: bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities. Furthermore, please preserve the following records from November 5, 2024 to present: 1. All internal communications, including emails, text messages, chat logs, and messaging applications, relating to protest planning, coordination, or funding. 2. All financial documents related to protests, demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in Los Angeles or elsewhere relating to immigration enforcement. 3. All third-party contracts or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers, transportation providers, security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration enforcement or the Los Angeles protests, or similar pr…

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

S Baum covering the latest survey on trans life and health over at Erin Reed's place.

Notably, Hormone therapy made 84% a lot more satisfied with their lives, 14% somewhat more satisfied.

Surgery made 88% of ppl a lot more satisfied and 9% somewhat more.

That's:
Hormones: +98
Surgery: +97

Plentiful Data, No Regret: What the Utah Review on Youth Trans Care Found — Assigned A 1,000-page report by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah, which found care safe and effective, stands out from others: It’s both independent and an actual review of the evidence.

The Utah Report shows exactly what the people commissioning it didn’t want to see, that gender affirming care works.

Opinion | Trump's message to trans people is clear: Detransition, or potentially die My question to everyone reading this is: When is enough enough?

For my @msnbc.com column this week, I wrote about exactly what the Republican anti-trans budget bill would do to trans people on Medicaid.

Being a trans person closing on 10 years of HRT is weird. In a way, to the world I'm done. I could stealth and disappear. I could turn in my ticket and socially just be done. But that is reviling to me. I benefited from some of the best years. I owe my younger siblings visibility and leadership.
