Es ist an sich schon kritisch, wenn privilegierte Zugänge zu hochrangigen Politikerinnen und Politikern gegen Geld angeboten werden.

Wenn das Geld dann aber in das Unternehmen eines amtierenden Ministers fließt, erschüttert dies das Vertrauen in die Integrität der Bundesregierung. 5/

As trillions shift from boomers to their heirs, the real story is how Canada’s tax system keeps inequality growing.

Money is changing hands, not the system
Over the last ten years, about $1 trillion has transferred from Canadian baby boomers to their Gen X and Millennial heirs.

In "Sex Isn't Real," @beansvelocci.bsky.social traces the history of attempts to define sex and to create a world devoid of trans life, demonstrating that it is not the cis people who fit the categories but the categories that flex to make them fit. Read the intro for free now! buff.ly/TinoJLg
Cover of Sex Isn't Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary by Beans Velocci. The cover features a mesh grid pattern in an off white against a black background. The title is written large in a serif font in the center of the cover. Each word is a different color— ‘sex’ is a light orange; ‘isn’t’ is a grey blue; ‘real’ is a teal. The subtitle is directly below in white. The author’s name is above the title also in white.

TRANS PIZZA DAY!!! gofund.me/ef6323e0b

Let’s send some pizza!!!! TAG/DM YOUR FAVE PIZZA PLACE- Help us crowd source your favourite, trusted, and QT friendly pizza place and we will reach out and arrange pizza day.

DONATE TO /PROMOTE GOFUNDME: Send enough for a pizza or two, dipping sauce/soda!
The front landing page of the trans pizza day go fund me page. There is a picture of pizza and the text in this caption See caption for text about trans pizza day! IT'S PIZZA TIME! ABOUT TRANS PIZZA DAY: l've been connecting trans folks with free yummy pizza every year on Trans Day of Remembrance since 2017. I started doing this after I was gifted a pizza from a stranger for TDOR during a particularly hard year in 2016. It really helped me. Over the years, YOU have helped so many others. Together, we have sent hundreds and hundreds of pizzas (thousands?) over 8 years.... pizzas that have helped so many others! Community is incredible and together we have kept us/trans folks safe(r) and fed and connected during a day that can be so isolating and hard. WE KEEP US SAFE: With Wendy, and through feedback and brilliant suggestions from many of you, we are continuing to figure out safety again this year. Due to increased threats to trans folks' safety this year, it doesn't feel safe to be gathering data on trans people using Google/Meta platforms, though I'm happy to say we've had such gentleness and kindness over the years and never had an issue. Regardless, this year we will be doing things differently to ensure that we KEEP EVERYONE SAFE! See caption for text about trans pizza day! Here's how it will go this year: TAG/DM YOUR FAVE PIZZA PLACE NAMES*- Help us crowd source your favourite, trusted, and QT friendly pizza place and we will reach out and arrange pizza day. We will send pizza money in advance to the safe(r) pizza places we've crowd sourced who have agreed to participate. They will each have a certain number of pizzas they can give out. I WANT TO EAT PIZZA: Heres what to do GET YOUR PIZZA PASSWORD - On Trans Pizza Day on November 20, you can email us at our new Trans Pizza Day email address and get a pizza password to give to your local pizzeria to get your free pizza. Just call/order from the trust list of places and give them the pizza password. Voila! Up to $40 CAD of pizza on its way to you! Please do not share this password publicly in order to keep community safe. See caption for text about trans pizza day! I WANT TO SEND PIZZA: Heres what to do If you are a non-trans or cis person wanting to send some pizza love: DONATE TO AND PROMOTE THE GOFUNDME - We have a gofundme and are raising $14,000 like last year, which is $40 CAD per person x 350 pizzas. DONATE: Send enough for a pizza or two, or for some dipping sauce or soda! Let's send send some Za ! Share the gofundme and help us get the word out!!! NOTE: IN CASE THE PIZZA PLACES WHERE YOU LIVE ARE NOT SAFE - If you live somewhere without a safe or trusted pizza place in your town, we've been thinking how to get you pizza too. We have 50 spaces available for people to claim pizza funds and we will send you an etransfer to get food in a safe way that you know how to in your community. We will send out pizza funds in $40 CAD per person to 50 trans folks who sign up via an anonymous email form on a secure server. This form will be posted on Thursday. THANK YOU for donating to send some pizza love, this year especially.

»Die jugoslawischen Partisanen praktizierten eine Form revolutionärer Demokratie, die demokratische Aktivitäten von unten mit einer straffen Parteiorganisation von oben verband«, sagt der Kulturhistoriker Gal Kirn im Interview mit Jacobin.
Wie Jugoslawiens Partisanen eine neue Gesellschaft schufen
Am 11. November 1945 fanden die ersten Wahlen in Jugoslawien nach der Befreiung vom deutschen Faschismus statt. Sie ebneten den Weg für ein einzigartiges Experiment von Marktsozialismus, Arbeiterselbstverwaltung und Blockfreiheit, das bis heute inspiriert.

What does the research say? That common reasons for detransition are just as varied as gender transition ... it's not just about regret. Many still identify as trans. And gender-affirming care bans threaten health care for all.
Detransition is rare, but it’s driving anti-trans policy anyway
Many people who detransition are still gender non-conforming — and their experiences are more complex than gender-affirming care bans suggest.

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

For every thousand sexual assaults in the United States, there are eleven (11) convictions. And about three of those are incorrect and based on racial profiling.

So please miss me with the "we need the carceral state because of all the rapists" line. It's a myth.
