@sunnycritters I know you are enormously busy with nuzzle noodles but I just keep coming back to look at this series, these friends are SO GOOD

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

So we’re clear:

The Supreme Court ended affirmative action yesterday by saying you CAN’T discriminate by helping a minority group, then turned around today and said you CAN discriminate by hurting them.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

I’m sorry. In America, your right to exercise your religion doesn’t give you a right to discriminate.

If your business is open to the public, you don’t retain some license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry.

SCOTUS should be ashamed.

I've been trying to keep my peace but I just couldn't sleep last night thinking about these events. "Love is love" is not, and has never been, enough.

2 anti-🏳️‍🌈 hate incidents in Ontario in under 24 hours. A stabbing at the University of Waterloo. A robbery and assault in Ottawa.

This is the world we now live in. These are the consequences of anti-🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ rhetoric and hate.

"These people exist because the 98% tolerate it, and I think we're nearing the point where people won't tolerate it any longer."

This is genocidal language. These words were spoken about the trans community at a council meeting for Quinte West Ontario by Scott Hamilton.

Imaging hating queer people so much that you MAKE SOME UP so that you can sue over something THAT NEVER HAPPENED

[Imani Gandy is at BlueSky Now @AngryBlackLady]

This. Is. Bonkers.

Lorie Smith, the plaintiff in the 303 Creatives and her lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom INVENTED a same sex couple who she claimed asked her to make a wedding website.

The request that forms the basis of this lawsuit is FAKE. https://t.co/E3DY2Rfl8K

This was a Philosophy/Gender Studies course (valid credit for both disciplines). This is terrifying.

[CTV Kitchener @CTVKitchener]

Waterloo regional police say one person has been arrested and three people have been transported to hospital after being stabbed inside Hagey Hall at the University of Waterloo. https://t.co/JyghnI7yNJ

I love having a screenshot to back me up when I have to say, multiple times per week, "it's a part of language you learn about in the first grade."

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

OMG the new Language Arts Curriculum is so WOKE! Everybody write your MPPs and call your school board trustees to complain... they explicitly mention "pronouns"!!!!!! Why are these educators always trying to indoctrinate our kids? #OntEd

:P

[eliot newton (they/them) @genderbandit]

@tokyoslumbers I'm sorry they said that to you. Once, I went to my university mental health counselor bc I was in crisis. I told her I was afraid if went home, I was going to hurt myself. She responded, "Well, are you actually going to do it? I can't really help you if not."

@amandalafrenais @SwindledPodcast may be a good fit! Mostly covers white collar crime, con artists, corporations being The Worst

Fun fact : cis is not a slur, it's a convenient and factual way to describe people who are not trans!
