1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.
Also #iso more #vancouver restaurants with a cool NYE dinner menu. Elem’s got a thing. Honey Salt has a new year’s disco brunch that had a fire DJ and (and delectable eats) when I went 2 years ago.
Hoping @scoutmagazine.bsky.social will eventually do a NYE round-up 🙏
#ISO: Has anyone seen any roasted chestnut vendors around town yet? 🌰
Sad that there wasn’t any available at the #Vancouver Christmas Market 🥲

In 2015, Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued ninety-four Calls to Action for repairing the Crown’s relationship with Indigenous peoples. A decade later, most remain unfulfilled. Seven Indigenous writers reflect on the work still to be done: thewalrus.ca/truth-and-reconc...

Until this past month, I had no idea that there was an official community for Canadian jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts. Now, I’ve competed in the BC regional speed puzzle comp and spent the evening working on a 500pc during a Zoom social with folks across the country. Happy to have this in my life 🧩
May 8, 2025, 6:37 PM EDT By Kimmy Yam and Laura Strickler A Filipino immigrant detained in Texas described being woken up at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday by armed guards in tactical gear, being told he was being sent to Libya, and then waiting for hours on a bus at a military base outside a military plane, his lawyer said. The flight never took off and he was sent back to solitary confinement in the Texas facility along with the other 12 detainees, mostly from Asian countries, the immigrant's lawyer, Johnny Sinodis, told NBC News. The immigrant requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation. The immigrants, including people from the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Mexico, would later learn that their attorneys filed an emergency motion after reports that the Trump administration had planned to send a group of immigrants to Libya.
NEW: @nbcnews.com confirmed last night that the Trump admin almost sent a dozen men from Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, and Mexico to Libya, a country described as a “hellscape” for migrants where some have been SOLD INTO SLAVERY and many have been subjected to extraordinary horrors.
Emotional reflection during the event that Holy Duck Chili hosted at Chinatown Storytelling Centre this afternoon. The event pivoted to fundraise for the victims and families of the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy. There was grief, but through it, a strong sense of community. #vancouver
Reason no. 76 that I am grateful to have 2 cats: Max drops some pretty stinky 💩 and never buries it, to the dismay of the household. But after a while, Min would come in with the assist.
I just caught her giving him fierce sideeye as she left the litter box 😂

Today, the City of #Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia mark May 2 as a day of remembrance and mourning for the victims of the tragic violence that followed the Lapu Lapu Day celebration.
Vote like someone’s life depends on it.
Me and my extended family are safe—most of us didn't go to Lapu Lapu festival today.
My heart is shattered for the people who are hurt or are grieving for a loved one.
What a senseless tragedy 💔💔💔💔💔

I want to contextualize what this means for me if everything in the Con platform were to come to pass:
My existence will be criminalized.
Again per the Con platform, the sentence for my crimes would be a *rape camp*.
This is not an exaggeration. It is a raw, terrible truth.
Signed the petition. I am sorry that this work is even necessary. Thank you for bringing this to my attention so I can act on it and share it around ❤️
Upgraded b/c heels now slip out of my 3yo Evolv Elektras on volumes (toe down, heel down). Hard to find wide toebox, narrow heel, low volume for street size W5. Tried ~30 sizes, ~12 models 💀 Lucky to find BD Methods on clearance for $125!
