'Young Canadians don't want to do late-night, menial, low-paying, gross jobs'...isn't the supporting argument backers of the TFW program are looking for.

A lot of folks gotta think long and hard about why there are so many who feel chill and at home with a bunch of our neighbors flying Mexican flags, but uneasy and more than a little scared when people wave the American flag.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Yeah I know people say anxiety is bad, but mine has just been collecting all the possible things that can go wrong so far. Once it has an exhaustive catalog of every possible mishap, it’ll move on to suggesting solutions and then you better watch out.

@jonfavs.bsky.social @max-fisher.bsky.social I’m an RN & night shifts are a time when my screen time explodes (when it’s the q-word). A coworker of mine says she has her husband reset her phone password so she doesn’t know it when she’s with him at home 1/2

I'll only say one thing about Nosferatu* and it is that I wish Thomas had been allowed to be the King Himbo that he truly is. And Nicolas Hoult is honestly PERFECT casting for that! Casting department knew what they were about then got fumbled in execution

*I'm certain I'll say more than one thing

just thinking seasonal, festive thoughts about how in 1843 Dickens trusted readers to clock that “poor people should be grateful prisons will house them, let them go ahead and die if they don’t like it” was immediate villain shit, and now the GOP’s whole platform is like “maybe Scrooge made points”

The woman is Polish-born Danuta Danielsson, a Jew. The location is Växjö, Sweden, 1985. The photographer is Hans Runesson. And it gets better: the Nazis were chased, pelted with eggs and assaulted until they had to shelter in subway toilets until saved by the police.
Be the woman hitting a Nazi with a handbag you wish to see in the world.

I love that she has been immortalised by a statue too!
