I really don't think someone should be called a "free speech advocate" if they spent exactly zero effort defending people with positions they disagreed with.

@bsky.app I wish ill on JK Rowling too.
clairewillett.bsky.social Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · Aug 16
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

One of my favorite things about Star Trek is when Beverly Crusher is like Jean-Luc, I know this sounds crazy but we’re all trapped inside a dog’s dream, and Picard — responsible for thousands of lives — is like, Beverly you are my best friend obviously I believe you were are making this top priority

Hey uh I have no creative power in Star Trek anymore so this means nothing, but I 100% object to the head of the franchise Alex Kurtzman justifying a Space C.I.A. for the Federation to exist.
A transcript from an interview with Alex Kurtzman on why Section 31 is needed for the dream of the Federation: "So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows."

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.
A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

i think something democrats need to understand is that starting with the 2008 election, every presidential winner has more convincingly promised change from the status quo more than their opponent

2 years and 2 days after Kartik Saini died on an unprotected portion of the Yonge St bike lanes. Lanes that I take multiple times a week. If these get removed, I'm going to be significantly less safe as I try to get around the city.

This sucks.

Ghost Bike memorial for Kartik Saini, many flowers are arranged and a sign with his name, "Sheridan College Student" and "November 23, 2022"

Sen. Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth, saying "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."

you never ride alone #BikeTO
Crowd of bicyclists outside Queen's Park at night attending a ghost bike ride/installation ceremony for two people who were recently killed on bikes in southern Ontario. Also protesting the forthcoming Bill 212 legislation that will limit/remove bike lanes. The two ghost bikes are raised above the crowd in the distance.

It's pretty funny that the electoral meta in Canada has just standardized as "give people free money a couple months before the election":
News story titles "Ford government plans $200 rebate cheques as possible early election looms: source" with a picture of Doug Ford, incredibly red-faced (just not lookin good at all my boy) shot from a very low angle. News story headlined "Trudeau government to send $250 cheques to most people, slash GST on some goods" with a picture of Trudeau peeking out from behind a shelf of groceries.

the trump campaign was literally bought and paid for by the wealthiest people on the planet — openly! — and dim-witted pundits are going on about how voters are tired of "elitist democrats"

Steven Universe vs. Hitler. Steven appeals to Hitler "what if you could change your mind, Hitler?" Hitler stares at Steven with angry intent. Garnet puts her hand on Steven's shoulder and says "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy Steven." Steven says "Damn."

TPS: Waaa! our budget is being increased in a time of a fiscal disaster, but not by ENOUGH! 😡😢

Also TPS: Sure there's a truck with illegal window tint sitting in the the intersection trying to left turn when there's bright light up no-turn signals, holding up a honking tram, but idk, whatevs 😒
Tweet from @TorontoPolice with the text "The police portion of the @cityoftoronto budget has shrunk from 11% to 9%, while calls for service are up 18% & the population is growing exponentially. Now is not the time to reduce the @tpsboard approved increase of 1.7% to the police service’s budget. #SupportYourTPS"

Toronto Driver Understand This Sign Challenge: [impossible]
A traffic sign commonly seen in Toronto on streets with bike lanes. It indicates that right turning cars should yield to bike traffic. Suffice it to say, cars follow this rule inconsistently in my experience....

I never would have thought a couple years ago that I'd be biking in -14C in Toronto. The funny thing is that once I'm properly geared up, I'm actually quite comfy, and I was happy to do 2 hours of riding. Didn't even notice the moustache-cicle until i was on my way home! #BikeTO
Me in winter biking gear stopped outside High Park. There's one enormous icicle hanging from my moustache.
