Tess (they/them)

Years ago, I had a colleague from Hungary who introduced me to this! As a wine drinker, but generally not a pop drinker, it's actually quite good!

Please share

Thanks to everyone who's given to our Camp Dragonfly donation drive so far! 🌈🤩

Still want to support this summer camp for trans+ youth? There's time! Looking for:
- craft supplies,
- queer-themed books for youth,
- nail polish & remover,
- & whiteboard markers.

More @ camp-dragonfly.com/contact/

despite it all, I still believe that in the end we will win

Having puberty blockers as a youth would’ve been awesome. But I’m also very happy with who I am today and deeply love all the trans people in my life that didn’t have access to puberty blockers.

So if you can’t access puberty blockers, I hope you’ll still grow up to be just like them—badasses.

I don’t know how to access our @pemetawe.bsky.social Bluesky account but this is our approach this year.

A great thread. Not limited to autistic—these are helpful tools for anyone who might find themselves overstimulated while protesting. It can be a lot!

Looks like water will be taking a place on the stage during G7…

Yeah I did! I enjoyed it! Gaaays iiin spaaace!

No, it did not. A spark just flared up and burned brighter again.

I hate it so much, feeling so mad at this government all over again

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

White text lays over a darkened photo of candles with the following details: “Luksang Bayan Edmonton. Candlelight Vigil for the Victims of the Lapu Lapu Tragedy. April 30, 5 PM, Edmonton City Hall. Please wear black, prepare electric candles, flowers available for donation. Masks encouraged. Everyone is welcome”

Luksang Bayan Edmonton: Filipino communities and organizers of #YEG are hosting a Candlelight Vigil for the victims of the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival Tragedy in Vancouver. We call upon our community to come together and support each other during this period of collective grief.

A comic called Bird Photography tips. A good bird photo shows a cape may warbler perched on a branch, with excellent lighting, subject in focus, and field marks clearly visible. A great bird photo shows the warbler in mid hop, labeled with peerless athleticism, levitation??, powerful. An excellent bird photo shows a little round warbler facing the camera, labeled borb, round, and a good bird. An exceptional bird photo shows the bird zooming forward mid flight, labeled nyooooom.

Bird photography tips, an oldie that is hopefully useful for spring migration right now.

UPDATE: Animal care and control were able to respond quickly, and they have now been safely surrendered. If I hear anything about their adoption status, I will update. Thank you all for the reshares!! 🙏 @iamatrex.com

Animal care and control have been contacted, and they are in the queue to surrender these cats without risk of being put down. Our friends really just need help for a couple days if you are able to help foster until their appointment! 🙏

do any #YEG folks have creepy Edmonton pictures I can use for a game? Specifically looking for creepy West Edmonton Mall but open to others! The game is set in post-nuclear winter and it's horror :)

Ooo, let me see what I can find! Feel free to poke me if you don't hear back!

My first instinct is Jagged Little Pill! If not, maybe the RENT soundtrack 🤔

Premier Danielle Smith visited the University of Alberta Faculty of Law today. 👀

Lawyers and future lawyers know that Bill 26 and the UCP’s anti-trans bills are regressive, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. And they had a message for her today. 👏

In case anyone needed a reminder,

✨ Libraries are for everyone
✨ Visibility and symbols of inclusion matter
✨ Neutrality is not an option in times of injustice

We can upload 3 minute videos now.

YOU KNOW THE RULE

Living my best silver fox era. Love my grey hair 😌

Glamorous for me 😆 (It's a cute show I just stumbled on!)

Three paintings by Amanda. First of a woman with green and pink hair holding a shark, second of a woman with orange hair holding flowers, and third of a non-binary person with brown hair holding a sword!

A pencil drawing by Tess (me). First of a woman wearing pearls, second of a woman wearing a pendant, and third of a non-binary person wearing a cravat

I'm technically a day night, but happy birthday to @iamatrex.com!

Had an amazing night watching Pride & Prejudice, painting self-portraits, and catching up. Grateful for our over-the-top remote movie countdowns, nostalgic reminiscent nights, and general tomfoolery 💖

Ratioed 👏

Shout out to Pride Corner on Whyte for always coming to the rescue to counter protest hate and show everyone some support and positivity 💕
