Terri M Roberts/Pink Dumbbell Problem

Classic!

Who's your favourite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

Some jokes are truly timeless, eh!

Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.

Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism.

For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of.

Fight for them.

Want some simple ways to resist fascism?

Wear a mask.
Donate to mutual aid.
Go to a local library.
Support community fridges and food banks.
Plant a garden.
Deliver groceries.
Provide a ride to and from doctors appts.
Participate in neighbourhood ICE watch.

Show up for others.

I don’t believe there is ever a bad time to share the words from Jack Layton’s last letter to Canadians.

Best family photo ever!

ICYMI I have a new video looking at some of the problems with the most recent SNW episode

I just watched it last night, and I agree 100%.

She ended up here because exercise education is an entirely unregulated, unlegislated industry.

And bc ppl think that being a shouty sport kid is equivalent to being a trainer who passed rigorous exams & teacher training.

And bc the TV world is convinced she looks fit so she must be qualified.

MmmMMMMM girl, you give good list!!

I think that's always a risk with every post.

I helped with the script for this (a little). Mostly, I'm just pleased beyond words to have gotten to work with Kyle on things like this. I can't be at the premiere (1 p.m. Eastern, today), but you should.

Oh wow. I guess I am long overdue to drop in!

I didn't realize L&K moved! I haven't been there in way too long.

We're having a very similar day but I'm, like, 3 hours behind, lol!
Cool Lime is my favourite! So glad they brought them back.

Facebook post by an Ottawa city politician (name & face blocked out) who attended the Capital Pride Trans March Photo has event coordinator Fae Johnstone centered as she introduces other speakers and asks attendees not to photograph marchers for the sake of community safety. Surrounding Fae are several marchers with their faces either masked or blocked out by me for — again — the sake of community safety. text: Trans March is always my favourite part of Pride weekend. It reminds me of Pride's political, scrappy roots. And standing up for trans rights couldn't be more important in this political moment. Proud of everyone who rallied and marched tonight. Queer and trans joy is revolutionary.

A reminder to politicians:

The Trans March is a protest.

Meta removed its protections for trans people.

Fae Johnstone clearly asked you not to take pics of people's faces w/out consent for the sake of our safety.

Then, an Ottawa city councilor posted this

(w/out blocking faces; I did that)

Whelp, I took double the antihistamines, my eyes are itchy, and I just sneezed 4 time in rapid succession.

Hello ragweed, you rotten little bitch!

This #Farscape Friday, and we're commenting on Moya's crew watching people's commentary on their commentary about humanity. It's all very meta and opens up conversations about humanity, morality, exceptionalism, and hope

Bringing the lens of documentary into science fiction can bring up all sorts of fascinating questions and ideas. This Farscape episode went all in on that and it makes for an amazing conversation.
