Whenever there's a heat wave, I see all these social media posts about the importance of rescuing animals trapped in hot cars, and I love to see it. Truly.
It just feels incongruent with the ways people insist I'm naïve for thinking we can normalize bystander intervention for hate and harassment.

You know how quickly you would rescue a dog trapped in a hot car? I want you to have the same energy for people in distress around you.
That's what bystander intervention is - showing up for each other, regardless of whether we know each other or not.

The only thing keeping me motivated while house hunting right now is the sounds of my partner giggling and playing with our two daughters on the days we have sleepovers.

Side note- the only reason I’m not out there this weekend is that if I wait until election day my polling place becomes my apartment building lobby. Can’t get much more convenient than that

Seems time to state once again, that I know and love trans people, I know and love genderqueer people, I know and love autistic people. (And I know people for whom those realities overlap!)
They are not a burden to society and their existence does not threaten me, my gender or my life in any way.

Campbells Soup is trying to pull a fast one.
Their soup hasn't been made in Canada since 2018, but they have printed a Maple Leaf on the label, representing it is.
The Maple Leaf is not an official Canada label.
This is a marketing ploy!
Beware!

Oh FFS Ontarians. Stop saying there wasn't enough exposure about Ford's corruption. Every single person in Ontario knows Doug Ford and his very long history. Right from his time in Council with his screwed up brother. 55% of progressives could have ended him. They chose not to.
