Friendly reminder that in Kitchener Waterloo ADDING SUPPLY IS WORKING.

I've been saving ads for a few months to show this progression.

Growing incentives lead to lower rents, and that's exactly what's happening!!

A tweet from the FBI that says: 

Help the FBI protect children. As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care.
Report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov.

On the second day of Pride month, the FBI asks the public to report tips for any hospital or practitioner providing Gender Affirming Care.

A family member passed on Thursday. I wanted to start Pride Month off with a bang, but I have more important matters to attend to. As a result I'll be taking a bit of a break.

I thought Kitchener’s East Ave reconstruction would be similar to the Highland Road and Wilson Ave design, but it’s somewhat disappointing 1/5

My Legs are Valleys by Brooklin Wallis

My legs are valleys. My hairs are its trees.

My moles are boulders and rocks speckling the

landscape, Red spots and ingrowns are old stumps and saplings

bursting from the ground

My torso an ocean of waves of stretch marks and tides of breath

The arms I fear look masculine, forests of hair and skin, and lakes and rocky crests of callous

The scabs and bruises, my earth - repairing after fallen trees and deforestation, and falling from trees, and shaving.

My scars proof of past reparations. And proof of past harms.

My skin, bending and breaking and cracking like the

dirt and moss that covers the forest floor, hiding the root systems and stone of me, underneath

My breasts young mountains, growing like mountains do. Slowly peaking out from land and sea, making landscape where once was not.

Armpits and ankles small ecosystems of sweat and ponds that I keep clean to prevent those ecosystems from creating new ones.

My muscles and veins the rivers and aquifers that carry water and blood and food and estrogen to the land made of nails and hair and height that then adapts, as nature always does.

My body a planet of meat and bone, reacting to changing climate of hormones and temperature, to asteroid impacts and tattoos, to heartbreak and car accidents, and to young love and hurricanes by doing its best with what it's given.

The symbiotic relationship between me and her is paradoxically what me is. And you know what? I like that I finally get to like myself.

Hi I wrote a poem and got it published in a Zine! It's called "My Legs are Valleys"

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧡

Poilievre's candidate in my riding of Kitchener South-Hespeler is Dr Matt Strauss.

In 2023 Strauss sued Queens University, claiming he was canceled for his views on vaccine mandates and masking. His lawsuit was funded by none other than Elon Musk.

Details in thread.

I'm Voting for Rainbow Equality because: Canada is stronger when people are free to be themselves, live their lives, and be accepted. Because love is stronger than hate.

With hate rising towards our queer and trans communities and a federal election on the horizon, we’re asking Canadians to vote for rainbow equality - to elect politicians who will uphold freedom and human rights for queer and trans people.

Join the movement - www.rainbowequality.ca.

This is absolutely disgusting and will kill people if passed. It's CLEAR transphobia and hatred with absolutely NO medical backing.

Like we've been saying for years - this was never just about the kids. This is a full on assault on the trans community.
