Great to see a full-page ad in Le Devoir condemning Canada's military spending.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Deux bannières de manifestations, une disant “Wild Pride • Fierté indomptable”, l’autre disant “Pas de fierté dans le génocide / No pride in génocide”. Derrière sont des milliers de manifestant.e.s.

La Fierté indomptable, un festival entier créé en réponse au fait que Fierté Montréal refuse d’écouter aux communautés qu’elle est supposée desservir, vient d’attirer 4000-5000 marcheur.se.s pour sa marche inaugurale.

Ça, c’est le pouvoir de la communauté queer.

Marchers holding their fist up in the air as part of a minute of silence during the Wild Pride March.

Wild Pride, a volunteer-run, community-funded Pride festival created in response to Fierté Montréal Pride’s disregard for community, just got about 4000-5000 marchers for its inaugural march.

This is the power of community in action.

Merci à toi, la fille qui m’a défendu quand j’ai call out le gars qui vapait dans le metro. Ur a real one 🐐

The monster under my bed has signed me up to receive emails from the Heritage Foundation.

Must be so embarrassing to be a cop on a bike

Corporate America got me on a balanced diet of alphabet soup and word salad. Girl, stop I’m stuffed 😭😵‍💫

Anti-abortion activists' day completely ruined: their bus blocked and delayed for nearly an hour in Mtl this AM. Then in Quebec City, encircled by counter-demo and drowned out with boat horns; blocked and surrounded repeatedly when they tried to march. Riot cops outflanked and pushed back.

A small but mighty group assembled today in Parc Extension for housing rights and to support a rent freeze. Thank you to the @rclalq.bsky.social for organizing and to all the housing associations and committees present. Thanks also to the people who brought signs, samosas, water, etc. 💞💞

Cartoon drawing depicting a diverse group protesting in a cityscape. Orange and purple colour scheme. The protesters hold signs which read: “RENT FREEZE NOW!” “SAY NO TO THE CAQ NEW RENT REGULATIONS” “MAY 31st at PARC METRO!” “1:30pm”. On the bottom is written, stylized in big blocky letters: “ANGRY TENANTS TAKE TO THE STREETS!”

Come and fight for our housing rights and to oppose the CAQs landlord and profit-focused regulations! Today at Parc Metro 1:30pm

A panel from an old He-Man comic where Adam is holding Fisto saying "Fisto, my friend. Are you all right? Here let me help you to your feet!" And Fisto says "I fisted hard, He-Man, but I could not fist them all!"

Classique. Mood for today

a book cover saying "buckle the fuck up the bitches are coming" "with a bag of liquor drugs & weapons"

“There’s no use crying over spilled milk” not everything is utilitarian some of us cry for the love of the game

Make a little fort inside your mind. Give no one the secret passcode. Read by flashlight. Pack a brown bag lunch. Maybe bring a piece of hard candy, for later.

Leaf blowers should be illegal I will die on this hill thank you

Screencap from the television show it's always sunny in Philadelphia showing Mac and Charlie standing in the street. Mac is holding his head in apparent frustration and Charlie is talking to someone off screen text reads "sir, we all have cats we'd rather be home playing with right now."
