I cancelled my plans to travel to the states, Seattle in particular. Fuck Trump and every politician who values power and money over democracy and fairness. America, you used to be cool.

We can choose to take care of each other, which means demanding proper funding and accountability in our health system. Thanks for reading. Thanks especially to Rheanna's sister, Kassandra, for advocating in hopes others don't have to suffer as she has. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

My cat, for consideration. Princess Beatrice Dirty Snowball, aka Bebe. Born in 2007 in Hanoi, Vietnam and still terrorizing all who meet her in August 2025 in Toronto, Canada. Hobbies include barfing on the carpet, sleeping in the sun, catnip, horrible meows.

MAGA doesn't realize the world has moved on. No matter how much they want to live in their romanticized reality of 1953, it'll never happen. Too many of us DEIs have education, money, & some power and influence now. So, instead, they'll just burn the entire country down, including themselves.

In rural Ontario, Canada, there exists A Queer Camp that brings a diverse group of people together for a weekend of workshops, performances and community building. Happy Pride!

I saw Rains Over Babel at Sundance and became obsessed. When I saw it was screening in South Florida and that director Gala del Sol was in town, I cold emailed her. We ended up chatting for an hour about the film, magical realism, religion, and way more. Hope y’all dig our talk, published at Into!

Trans people: somehow too fragile to serve in the military, yet too powerful to compete in sports. Fascism thrives on contradiction.

🖤 May Day means solidarity with ALL workers, including sex workers, incarcerated workers, undocumented workers, criminalized workers, and disabled workers. When we say “an injury to one is an injury to all,” we’d better fucking mean it. 🖤

If you want to understand the rationale and cruelty behind Trump's anti immigrant policies, just read up on Stephen Miller. This is all his doing. Trump is golfing most of the time. Miller is an avowed white nationalist. He doesn't hide any of it. It's all there.

Good! We should discourage car ownership in Toronto. In fact the rate of removing vehicle travel lanes should be even more alarming, I want a five alarm war on cars over here.

@dansavage.bsky.social The caller mid show who only likes me for short periods needs to monitor her cycles. I'm similar, very gay but when I'm ovulating I don't mind a man here and there. The body, she's a strange mistress.

End a clinical trial early, and researchers might not be able to tell if it worked, leaving participants worse off than when they started. But that is what the Trump administration is asking scientists to do, @katherinejwu.com reports: theatln.tc/Qgq0vPCX

I'm a Canadian researcher working on NIH-funded pediatric rare disease studies. Around 90% of our lab meetings these days involve an American colleague apologizing for the currrent US leadership and trying to assure us our consortium will still exist tomorrow.
