To Alberta’s trans community, and especially our trans youth: it’s deplorable that our government is abusing the notwithstanding clause to harm you.
We see you. You are beautiful and precious, and we are fighting/donating/protesting for you, and sending you all our love & support.

If you bring misbehaving dice, I am prepared to cast the demons out of them!
(Make sure to tell me whether you want them to roll low or high. I don’t want to bless your d20s to roll 20s more often and then find out you’re playing 2d20 and I’ve sentenced you to botches all the time.)

It's the peak season in the grape harvest in Arvin CA. "Sonia" is taking boxes back to her packing station. When packed with grapes, each box can weigh up to 22 lbs. It was 11:30 AM on this day and the temperature was already 91°. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

This is so freaking cool and beautiful and brilliantly crafted and created. Freddie Mercury’s birthday would’ve been yesterday (79!), and I can only imagine he is enthralled.♥️

Workers harvesting broccoli on CAs Central Coast. They start at 6am and work 8hrs/day. It's hard as they have to bend down, use a knife to cut off the broccoli, stand up and repeat this cycle over and over. They cool down after work and their back just starts aching. #WeFeedYou

I’m quite impressed by the Edmonton Public School Board right now. They did a good job educating my kids K-12, too! Nice work all around. 😊

We gotta pay more attention, Alberta - gerrymandering ain’t just for Texas anymore.

Keith Gerein: Forget Texas, Alberta has its own gerrymandering effort underway against urban centres
Two UCP cabinet ministers want to create hybrid, rural-urban provincial ridings in Alberta in that may favour the party's political interests.

In light of everything that's happened this week: solidarity with sex workers is one of the most important things writers, artists, and game designers (even SFW ones!) can commit to. Share this around.
Hey bluesky people… do you know about @swaidcollective.bsky.social? We’re a sex worker mutual aid fund and we could really use funds right now! It’s getting tighter for everyone right now and it would mean a lot if my fans and community folks could pitch in!!

Currently on the phone with Visa
Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use
The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

In August 1941, a new superhero debuted in Canadian comic books.
For the next six years, Canadians read the stories of an Inuk woman who protected the Canadian North.
She even predated the creation of Wonder Woman.
This is the story of Nelvana of the Northern Lights.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

Actually I think it would be good and right to tell people "This is what you voted for."
Don't even argue or engage. Just let them sit with it.
