To my trans friends: Be careful out there. To my cis friends: Please remember us when you vote next month.

Heads up y'all. Seems like the #Ontarioelection is getting the transphobic bigots more active in #Ottawa. Pulled these stickers on my walk home. These were in the Rideau-Vanier ward/Ottawa-Vanier district but I'm sure they are elsewhere too.

@SamHersh01 @OttawaHealth @fordnation .@OttawaHealth so, about tomorrow...

COVID will still be just as deadly & transmissible, but we will no longer collect or publicize deaths & outbreaks.

Some are excited about disabled & older peoples deaths, while some remain supportive of more passive eugenics.

💖💖💖 here for the eloquent nonsense

[S. Allie Watson @allieisanant]

Genderbots can’t get that sweet felicity “when identity is something we are told we should name claim and wear with pride.” @kitchokly laying down some eloquence on playful gender performativity 💜💜💜

[kit @kitchokly]

Turns out felicity's been cancelled since 2002 I'm late to the game!!!

What is @kitchokly NOT presenting on at this year’s @cgc_conference?

[Justin Piché, PhD @JustinPicheh]

2/4 This isn't a time for popcorn, champagne popping & celebration. This isn't a time for #CarceralEnjoyments. This is a time where we're bearing witness to harm in response to harm and we need to summon our better angels to resist our worst instincts.

wanted to show y'all this panel Spiegelman made for his retrospective on Maus. every time I look at it, I see myself in the mask, and feel the whole corpus of the story flooding back in a fraction of a second that resolves in a blurry maelstrom of futures that never got to happen

amazing thread on accessible design+ DH has me thinking about screen essentialism and how to develop a responsible ontology of all the "things" involved in a design

Our long-term care system must be dismantled https://t.co/PpWTdbSAJw via @thespec

[Briarpatch Magazine @briarpatchmag]

NEW: We can do away with forced institutionalization. Instead, what if elderly and disabled people lived in the community and received at-home care from a support worker?

@sophiejeanbirks + @pinkcaneredlip on @djnontario's call to abolish long-term care: https://t.co/FNfT4Kwq3S

[Helen Robertson @HelenDestroys]

I can't overstate how excited I am for this! It's been a minute since I've read anything and I can't wait to hear the rest of this wonderful lineup.

[kit @kitchokly]

.@PinkCaneRedLip writes about the workers who help assemble Canada's 19 million plastic #RemembranceDay poppies:

Prisoners and people labelled with intellectual/developmental disabilities, some of whom earn just $0.01 per poppy.

"...worlds that also require our maintenance and care." (1/2) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[kit @kitchokly]

Thinking about @hiokinai saying: "Infrastructure underlies what we can produce.
 [Not in] the capitalist sense. I mean, productivity, what we can do. The fragility of infrastructures need not over-determine the limits of our world making." @FoodMattersCon2 #FoodMatters2021

[kit @kitchokly]

@hiokinai @FoodMattersCon2 "Instead of desperately holding together the pieces of a crumbling infrastructure that was never designed to serve
 us, the environmental intimacies of melt might guide us towards worlds persistently calling, return us to those predicated on change and growth... (1/2)
