Fuck it. #TransDayOfVisibility I'm trans, queer, disabled, and I make poetry/art sometimes in order to let out all the anger, fear, and sadness of living in a violent world. This is my first drawing I've posted on twitter, so I hope it works. All my love to trans folks always.💗

The skies are orange, people are fleeing wildfires in boats, other parts of the country are flooded, housing is still unaffordable, food bank use is skyrocketing, healthcare is crumbling, all while Canada spends on the military and AI, but it’s okay, we have a “strong economy”

NEW: Mark Carney has appointed a former oil executive once described as a “climate villain painting Big Oil green” as Canada's consul general in New York.

Canadian politics has devolved into a race to build as much fossil fuel infrastructure before the public catches onto the fact that the world is moving on from fossil fuels

Referred to as a death trap, the Thunder Bay District Jail has just had another inmate die in the facility just weeks after First Nations leaders and the family of another man who died there, called for it to be shut down.

Residents of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation watched their home burn to the ground as they had to evacuate by boat due to a rapidly approaching wildfire.

At least four other communities in the region have also been evacuated due to wildfires.

AI music steals from artists twice: once when the model is trained on their work (with no compensation), and then again when their work is displaced or overlooked (or algorithmed away) on platforms that push the AI generated bullshit

[Aliya Pabani @aliyapabani]

Go ahead and compare how much coverage there is of entire Indigenous communities being burned to the ground versus the air quality in Toronto. Media is also infrastructure.

The idea that I have scarring on my now misfiring heart, elevated protein in my cerebral spinal fluid, Graves’ disease, MCAS, etc. is all down to me having a poor attitude would be laughable if it weren’t so cruel.
Don’t listen to these cowards.
Protect yourself. Mask up.

Being a carer for a disabled person is incredibly hard, but there is a world of a difference between carers who think it’s hard because the disabled person is a burden and those who think it’s hard because the state has abandoned disabled people

There is an onslaught of propaganda - full war room level campaigning - to convince you to support MAID and its expansion. If you're not noticing it, then it means you're either part of it or a victim of it.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

I wonder if it's ever occurred to anyone in the Canadian media that the *only* disabled people you allow to speak as authority and don't require a professional to 'translate' or 'verify' our thoughts, are those who have signed up to die. Funny how that works huh?

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

This article relies on eugenics-adjacent argument - or put another way 'eugenics logic.'

It's also class war.

What the BC heat dome deaths and other studies reveal is that the greatest single determinant of who lives vs who dies is not age but income.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

This part acknowledges that we know that people's moods and cognitive function are affected by heat but argues that those only matter when you are at work.

Because no one "works" at home? Because child care, cooking, cleaning aren't work? Bc mood only matters if adding profit?

[En(during COVID) @DEC0L0NIZE]

it’s so fucking outrageous how common it is for medical facilities to have their air purifiers not in use—so often i have to turn on or first plug in these long-abandoned tools for cleaning the air. this timeline is committed to misery.

[chai @ChaiDeluxe]

This is a last ditch effort to FORCE people to give in their ID to use ANY social media apps.

A child’s safety shouldn’t be used as a Trojan horse for mass surveillance.

I don't have a Linktree, but I know a lot of ppl do, so just a heads up that people are recommending to delete your Linktree pages b4 they add this generative AI shit! 😮‍💨

I've seen a few alternative websites mentioned in posts on bsky, but I'm not familiar with them, so ymmv!

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI.

Particularly sad to know the San Diego Islamic Center shooters were 17 and 19. How did we produce a society that convinces young people to go shoot up a house of worship and then end their own lives? What had we taught them and what future had we offered them?
