So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

4/ And here we are.
And as a Canadian I am very concerned about a U.S. President who has repeatedly threatened our national sovereignty who has now shown that he is willing to illegally invade a country and overturn its government because that country has resources he wants.

Little did I know when I posted this that the “Time Passes” section of To the Lighthouse would utterly emotionally destroy me.

Virginia Woolf: “So with the lamps all put out, the moon sunk, and a thin rain drumming on the roof a downpouring of immense darkness began. Nothing, it seems, could survive the flood, the profusion of darkness”

Written by the father of a trans girl…
“When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls.
Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””
