The right wing hate storm is coming to Canada. It is going to be about immigrant blaming. This is the fascist playbook being used across Europe, Australia, the US. It's coming here.
We need to be ready and to push back.

Rugby is a game of new ideas. Yet right now, one team stands head and shoulders above all others in those stakes, and is being ignored. One team playing the game as it will be in fifteen years' time. We dig into who it is, and why they're so ahead of the game...

In just over a week, cis women and trans women will come together to play a "Ruck You, Ruck the Ban" match in Oslo on June 1. The aim is to show that trans women are women, we are stronger together, and that transphobia and misogyny are two sides of the same coin.

In their own words:

So out of England, a group of former international cis women rugby players are organising a match against trans women to show how stupid the ban on trans women’s participation is.

They are calling this match - Ruck You.

I love this.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.

I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Happy birthday Judy Blume

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought.
Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges.

I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…
