The Book Purge raised $395 for OSCatR at Capital Pride. That's enough for a spay, neuter & more! 2025 fundraising total: $4,155🎉THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by to donate, chat adoption & share cat pics. Full transparency: I usually tag the event but the fact that the event turned off comments on their posts is very telling. Pride is a Protest🌈🍉

from someone (whom is also anti-genocide) at #pride today:

"..very strange. they stopped the whole thing and began to scream THIS IS OUR PARADE!"
"We all left them to do their thing and walked along the parade floats inverting the experience."
"We had a wonderful time and they didn't ruin a thing for us."
"that said, they came across as bullies and intolerant pricks who hi-jacked a celebration of inclusiveness."

Mostly dull, but vendors are arriving, foot traffic building.....#ottawa #PrideWeek2025 #street #ottawapride
People who want to continue downtown to attend the March, or who just want to go for a longer canoe ride, can do so as-inclined. Those returning to Harwell's Locks can expect to do so with the group between 12:30 and 1pm. See you on Saturday, August 23! #Ottawa #OttawaPride

Zionists notions of "safety" are being used to silence queer voices and invisibilize us in Canada.

We need to be very clear that confronting ideas you do not agree with is not a risk to your actual physical safety & censoring marginalized groups for taking a position of anti-violence and anti-genocide is morally unjustifiable.

So Ottawa’s mayor and the federal governing party boycotted #ottawapride but you wouldn’t notice. Lots of other individuals and organizations did attend. Great energy and enthusiasm for love and peace. #ottawa

#Genocide is bad.

#OttawaPride is not.

#Boycott a #Minority #CulturalEvent is bad.

Protesting arms shipments, intel sharing, and funding of a nation before the ICJ for #warcrimes is not.

Speaking truth to power is good.

Letting Tel Aviv meddle in #CDNPoli is not.

#CapitalPride is #ONPride
