Cait the Proud Trans Woman May 19, 2023

Just for old times' sake, my petition to allow US and UK trans and nonbinary people fleeing transphobic laws and a potential genocide to claim asylum in Canada? Well, it closes in just under one week. At the moment, we're about sixteen thousand signatures short of the second-most signatures on any Canadian petition to the government. Ever.

So I'm gonna send this around one more time, with the hope that Canadians will see it, sign it, and pass it along. You will need a Canadian address (a real one) to fill out the form.

Remember when millions of people worldwide believed that an online individual named Q would take down a secret organization of pedophile lizard people who control the world, and he would do so using coded messages on 8chan? That was wild

Asked to Delete References to Racism From Her Book, an Author Refused

The case, involving Scholastic, led to an outcry among authors and became an example of how the culture wars behind a surge in book banning in schools has reached publishers.

Excellent article on Musk’s dismantling of Twitter. Timeline of events, find where you said enough! (Yoel Roth being fed to the wolves for me.)

Congrats @zoeschiffer for this 👏👏👏👏

Extremely Hardcore

Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the social media site against impulsive billionaires who wanted to use the reach of its platform for their own ends, and then one made himself the CEO.

My friend owns the top floor of a 3-storey walkup in Montreal and pays $100 per year to park her car on the street. She uses the car so rarely that it became her storage locker - she found herself keeping her stroller in the trunk instead of carrying it up the stairs.
