Blocking TERFs ad GC people and transphobes and queerphobes and bigots gives me a happy little boner so even if you feel like you get the last word, just know that blocking you made this trans person very happy.
Pretty sure I’m the winner. 😈😊
JK Rowling’s anti-trans outrage, like all anti-trans fanatics, is dishonest and manufactured.
Right now, I’m watching mixed-gender wheelchair rugby, and the female players are showing strength and speed comparable, even beating, the men. Where’s the outrage for these women?
Where’s the concern that they could be killed, as they hyperbolised about Imane Khelif’s participation in the Olympic?
There’s not because this isn’t about fairness in sport. It’s a systematic campaign by to ban trans people from sport.
FOM ED Chris Gallaway joined The Breakdown to talk the state of health care in Alberta, and the major toll that ever-expanding privatization is having on our access to care.

LET'S START A THREAD.
Authors of Queer-lit (LGBTQIA+ books), share your book covers and pitch so readers can find them all in one place! 🌈

TERF radicalisation in a nutshell
JK Rowling in 2020: "I know & love trans people, feel kinship with them as targets of male violence, & would march with them if they were discriminated against"
JK Rowling in 2023: "Trans people are worse than the Taliban"

You can't just swap out an over $180 BILLLION company for fans of shows/movies/books writing our little stories (for free) and posting them online (for free).
Fandoms having a lot of m/m fics when you want more f/f fics is NOT the same as Netflix canceling sapphic shows.
i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:
plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you
@freydis_moon I personally consider @CMRosens Pagham-on-Sea series to be cozy eldritch horror, and they’re faves along with your books, so I recommend them!
Why is it that the “right to offend” is reserved by those who want to discuss and ultimately remove minority protections, but when minorities exercise the same “right” to argue against removing their protections it’s condemned as silencing? 🤔
Thought I had seen everything from D Smith but this is new. Day after election, she tells voters of Edmonton and Calgary that she will ignore their democratic choice and treat (and pay) the losing UCP candidates as though they had won. Only word I can think of is contempt.
This morning I am at the Alberta Emergency Management Centre in Edmonton actioning our next steps for the provincial emergency response.
More to come.

(—>& I think u can argue that anti-shipping, which is radfem rhetoric in a fandom hat, is at its core a homophobic & transphobic ideological position, so!!
