Dr Syrus Marcus Ware @syrusmarcusware.bsky.social · Mar 1
Hello! Welcome ❤️ I’m an artist, activist and scholar based in Tkaronto in Northern Turtle Island. I’m a parent and a twin and long time abolitionist. I believe we will get free together and am working with my communities to build and grow and bring about change together. ❤️✊🏾until we are free.
Syrus crosses his arms across his chest and his tattoos show: touch change written in large cursive letters across his arms. Syrus stands in front of a very large scale drawing he made of a 1970s trans activist on the wall of Grunt Gallery in Vancouver as part of his solo show there. There are words also drawn on the wall that read: we went out in the blackest of nights…. Syrus smiles with pink and purple dreadlocks and shows off his tshirt that reads “museums are not neutral” Syrus stands in from of two of his 12 ft x 6 ft tall graphite on paper drawings of activists Queentite Opaleke and Joh Vettivelu. Syrus holds papers in his hand and a microphone and wears a large Ankara fabric tunic. The drawings are up at the AGYU for his group show there in 2016.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Coming out in the early 1990s the gay=groomer was such an entrenched and widely propagated idea. Horrific, how this harmed us all, and the queer parents trying to make their families happen but being turned away because of this lie.
A page with redacted text spells out “why are the people who spent years slandering queer people as “groomers” so scared to show us who the actual groomers were?” Redacted text spells out “why is the party of “protecting kids” so scared of us finding out who was hurting kids?” Redacted text spells out “we have nothing to hide” signed Donald trump 11/16/25

Anti-immigration policies have been mainstreamed by the Liberals and the Conservatives, while no one planned for the economy to absorb population decline. Guess what happens next!

As a Toronto nostalgia fan, this was fun to see. Until January 11, 2026, you can get a rare look at vintage shopping bags from the likes of: A&P, Dominion, Eaton's, Honest Ed's, Simpsons, The Hudson Bay Company, Woolworth's, Zellers… and more! At the Toronto Reference Library.
Toronto Life mag excerpt: " The Toronto Reference Library's new shopping bag exhibition is gloriously nostalgic. Today's mundane minimalism could never" Two vintage Honest Ed's shopping bags, one with a clown and another with a festive reindeer are featured.

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.
