I loveeeddd Upasna Barath's Comedic Timing from 831 Stories (yes, they might be the A24 of Romance) so I wrote a bit about it for @XtraMagazine https://t.co/N8Jtheq0ms

Sook-Yin Lee's film adaptation of “Paying for It” explores relationships that are romantic, platonic and transactional. It opens in select theatres in Canada tomorrow. https://t.co/aBczT8yJiS

With Trump's administration now in power, LGBTQ2S+ advocates are bracing for a surge in policies that could undermine trans rights and deepen divisions across the country, as states move to impose more restrictive laws. https://t.co/XTy9Ex7rXr

“There’s a real worry that we’ll see a retraction of the federal role in advancing equality and rights for queer and trans people.” - my comment to @XtraMagazine re: what could happen for queer and trans people under a Conservative government.

Anti-trans legislation, rising hate crimes and hateful political rhetoric are some of the most pressing issues impacting queer and trans Canadians: https://t.co/95kyiw6J8C

“We should treat the people around us like we’ll know them for the rest of our lives,” @deanspade on falling in love with social movements and the people in them.

Meta released new guidelines this week for Facebook, Instagram and Threads, outlining what users can and cannot say on the platforms. And the new policies include a huge shift in how LGBTQ2S+ users can be treated. https://t.co/4drgEuFlrW
