What this means is that Doug Ford is opening up outright racial profiling on the TTC. Giving the "transit police" a carte blanche to go after anyone "suspected" of possessing or using drugs will only make the public transit less safe.

We wrote to @mayor.nyc.gov on Feb 24, and created a petition on Feb 25. The petition has now been endorsed by 21 other public health advocacy orgs around the world and hundreds of individuals, many of whom are impacted by this devastating medical condition.

Thank you! It was a pleasure to speak my own version of truth to that version of power. And I'd been prepared for questions like that for years.
Just a reminder, while I’m currently closed to unsolicited queries, I’m always open to BIPOC creators. This submission link never expires:

The Calgary Public Library has replied to my concerns about their residency artist request for someone who uses AI. The Calgary Public Library is doubling down. They do not care about genuine artists.
Excellent new article about how AI is supercharging literary scams targeting writers in @theguardian.com. As Kelly Burke's deep-dive article shows, yes, the scammers are sadly convincing people to pay for their worthless marketing and publishing services. 1/

Defend trans lives.
Defend disabled lives.
Defend queer and BIPOC youth.
This is an entire thread full of trans authors - mostly independent - writing across all sorts of genres
It's difficult to get trans stories published these days; the huge media corps aren't even looking anyone but the big names right now. We put our stories out where we can
I’m a trans author who’s been building an entire trans-centric queer magical girl universe centered on Portland, OR. My gals are in their 20s and the series deals with applying the feelings and lessons of the genre to adult life. There’s a lot of monster punching and gay feelings. 🥹 magicariot.com
I’ve been trying to use my art to be more visible in the world as a trans person, I hope it helps others know they aren’t alone.
Aspenhearted.com if you’d like this on a shirt or sticker ❤️🏳️⚧️
So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.
They hate when people stand up.
No one cares what a comic book writer thinks but if we all stand up and say this is wrong, we have seen that elections can be won, and a lot of people are fed up with Transphobes.
So please, let’s do that and not just shrug this off as another shitty thing in a long parade of shitty things.

I never thought I would see this. States are legislating unenforceable laws that violate privacy and decency and basic human dignity, targeting Trans people over a bunch of horseshit lies and ignorance.
So some of the best people are leaving because of the worst, and the silence of the rest.

I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
It's okay he just said iran bombed their own children with a us tomahawk missile
This sounds really awesome, but what is a "low res" MFA?
thanks to Isabella Wang for this great interview, and thanks to rob mclennan for asking me to do the interview. Isabella will be at VERseFest on March 25. You should come! periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2026/03/aman...
Blowing up schools and hospitals. Carpet bombing Tehran. Sinking a ship returning from training exercises. Hegseth says "the only people who need to worry are Iranians who want to live", while the President says he guesses we should be worried, people die in wars.
This, this is their "Alpha war". 🙄
Health care or arts and culture? It’s not as simple as that: Open letter from a Cape Breton community health centre
"We stand in appreciation of the work that our colleagues and volunteers in Arts and Culture do, and we understand how inseparable it is from our own."
The occupation of Minnesota isn't over but it does seem the feds are retreating, not in shame but in frustration.
Kidnapped Minnesotans continue to be held in concentration camps.
We're unlikely to see justice soon, given the pathetic deference of local politicos to the feds.
But I'm proud of us.
The White House shitter account posted a pro-iran war propaganda video that included clips of the yugioh anime, so I figure this is a good time to remind everyone that Kazuki Takahashi was staunchly anti-war and he died a hero, unlike any american in Iran right now.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
