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.

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

The current head of that office is Dr. Katherine Calvin, an expert on climate change, global modeling, and international scientific negotiations.

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.

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.
