Just a note that I do not give money to people who I don’t know. I’ve been burnt by scammers in the past before, so it’s just not worth the risk for me. Sorry for any inconvenience. I’m also a single mom struggling to keep my own family clothed, fed and sheltered. Thanks for understanding.

Abstenions appeared to have been:

NDP MP Gord Johns
NDP MP Lori Idlout
Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux

All other opposition MPs voted against, except for Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, who voted “yea” alongside the Liberals.
🚨 NO ELECTION 🚨

The vote barely squeaked by thanks to abstentions.

Final tally: 170 yeas, 168 nays
Could we be getting an ELECTION for Christmas?

Well, the Liberals still need one more “yes” vote to avoid that (or two abstentions), making the vote that’s taking place in two hours a real nail-biter.

Here’s where things stand right now, with a little help from @supriya.bsky.social:

Community organizing update from the Oregon coast:
We asked people with lived food insecurity experience what they actually needed. Turns out it's NOT what we thought.
Water-only prep items (many families have no milk/eggs). Seasonings (dignity = flavor).

When far-right Alberta premier is quoting Keir Starmer when pushing for cruel anti-immigrant measures, it's a clear sign that Keir Starmer and UK Labour has converged with the far-right.

It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories.

(Our books also make great holiday gifts for your conservative relatives you'd like to never speak to you again!)
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.

We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Ophelia is feeling much better today. She hasn't needed extra painkillers and is bouncing around like normal (after her great crate escape).

No more limping and she's back to her happy self.

So I was reading about an NFL player who just had a season ending injury called a Lisfranc sprain and it sounds eerily similar to my injury. Apparently can only be diagnosed properly with a weight bearing X-ray, which I’m pretty sure I didn’t have.

Apparently they’re the worst kind of sprain ever.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...
