It's Transgender Visibility Day, and predictably, the online right has spent the last several days harassing a non-binary friend of mine for doing their job excellently. So for the first time in years, I wrote some commentary about the right, and what's wrong. I hope you'll consider reading it.
Please know, CBC Vancouver pals, that I would happily watch an all-day livestream of the spider currently hanging out on your live downtown cam.
Campaigns are hard.
This is 🇨🇦's most important election in generations. Our sovereignty, public healthcare & more are on the ballot.
Please join me in ignoring every pundit/influencer using this moment for snarky engagement-bait all-sidesism. Y'all ain't it.

Today I am grateful for Pete Hegseth for giving me a new 'rock bottom' with which to measure my bad days.
I think their instincts are correct. And when the race inevitably narrows — and it will — having drama-free candidates who can reliably deliver safe seats will be crucial.
If they ignore all that though, it's great news for the NDP candidate who runs against her.
A fake romance novel cover featuring the three BC Conservative members who left their party last week. The title of the novel is 'Secret Whispers' with a tagline of 'the heart knows no party lines'.
Coming soon to a Kindle single or BC legislature near you

A complicated day for the politicians who said searching the Prairie Green landfill for the bodies of murdered First Nations women didn’t matter, and the ones who deny deaths at residential schools.
May the arc of history omit them all.
On Monday, BC Conservative Brent Chapman refused to vote to condemn Trump's threats to Canada. Today he's suggesting the 'left' has co-opted Pink Shirt Day.
Ending bullying, like ending misinformation, is everyone’s job.Share this to spread the word.
John Rustad spent weeks refusing to stand against tariffs. Then, when BC Conservatives could vote to condemn Trump's attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, five voted no. Meet the MLAs who wouldn’t stand up for Canada —share their names so everyone knows.
A hideous cybertruck in a snowy parking lot in Whistler, BC. It is covered in grime. A hero has written 'Elon Sucks' and 'Dorkmobile' on the back. Hopefully it will damage the finish.
Spotted in Whistler. Let's do this, Canada.
The most useful thing we can do, I think, is to make sure Trump sees he's overshadowed. His ego cannot allow it.
Conclave (2024)
Give yourself time to feel it. That's fair.
But long-term cynicism only ever gives them power they don't deserve.
A warm fuzzy blanket + closeness to those he loves is all it takes to render my large cat into a blissful puddle.
There are lessons in this.
There are 345 million Americans. 155 million of them voted in November.
Only 2.2 million votes across the entire country separated Trump and Harris — 0.6% of all Americans.
This wasn't a blowout. It's not a mandate.
You are not alone in your fight.
"Merrick Garland arises from three-year waking coma, announces immediate imprisonment, trial for Donald Trump for treason, sedition"
I, too, plan to vote for 2007 Barack Obama in the upcoming election.
I desperately need more information about 'famous yellow guy'.
Is it Bart Simpson? A minion? Someone with advanced liver failure?
To the woman I saw walking up Commercial Drive in a ghillie suit and heels, holding a fashionable umbrella: you have exactly the right energy for 2025. Let's be friends.
Watched The Substance. Need Demi Moore to please wear a big blue ballgown to an award show this season. Extra points if she wears it with a mask of her own face.
A cybertruck with a fake Louis Vuitton vanity monogram is so apt, I'd almost believe it was a bit.
Them: "Your mind is at its sharpest while you sleep."
My mind: It's 3am and I need to half-wake up and google this exact image for... reasons.
Read through this and rage, and then remember that the only reason all of this happened is because two mediocre men felt were worried a woman would talk about how badly they treated her. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...
IT'S HIS DREAM!
'Pre-Holiday Connect'
The Democratic Party decides the leading voice of their resistance to Donald Trump should be a 74 year old man with esophageal cancer. Really hard to come up with a better metaphor!
Please: someone, anyone sell me a #TaylorSwift ticket for a non-month's rent price! I will sing your praises to the heavens! Monuments will be made in your honour! Children will know of your kindness!
All these riches + more are but a DM away!
