is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

are you an ex-mennonite witch? are you part of the missing witches coven? do you WANT to be? i've recently discovered that most 'ethnically mennonite' people in germany/russia/canada/south america were actively nazis.
clippings from manitoban newspapers pre-WWII, showing speakers at nazi rallies in winnipeg with nazi flags and hitler portraits behind them, and a crowd giving the nazi salute while the mennonite young people's choir sings. a screenshot of a video of nazis visiting a mennonite colonial village in russia in 1942; on the right, citizens performing the nazi salute and on the left, nazi soldiers touring the village.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

when i was a kid, my family would have pillow fights, and for some reason when we swung a pillow at someone, we would yell 'yang!' and it came to mean bonking someone. so! if yeet is 'throw' and yoink is 'take', then yang is in the same word-family... #yeet #yoink #yang

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.

okay, so... these neon green and black fingerless mitts were a handmade gift for @jcvideohfx.bsky.social and i took slightly racy photos to show him. nothing is showing besides my scandalous shoulders, but... i'm labeling it anyway. sorry (not-sorry?) #FiberuaryChallenge 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

believing that both the pandemic AND the vaccine were engineered for population control to advance 'the great replacement' (get over yourself, but also remember THAT'S WHAT CANADA DID to indigenous people) is a disgusting, racist, white supremacist delusion. 🧵1/5

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
