Fuck, good point.

I know sports fan/"stan" culture is toxic because Diane died and people are saying "She was iconic AND defended a child molester" and people are nodding along like, yes!Both are true!

Meanwhile, I tweeted "Don't forget Kobe was a rapist" and got so many death threats, cops told me to go into hiding

Oh and this isn't because I'm some diehard Thanksgiving lover. I didn't grow up doing anything for Thanksgiving because it was usually the start of hunting season, so all the men were on the land. And now I'm vegan, so I truly DGAF about Thanksgiving 😂 I just hate people being smug AND wrong.

This post brought to you by seeing suuuper snarky performative outrage comments under people's photos on Instagram. Just people enjoying a meal or apple picking or whatever and people being like "Hum. Pretty gross of you to celebrate colonialism."

Just ludicrous behaviour, year after year.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

I've always had such conflicting feelings about Diane Keaton.

A style icon who truly did things her own way AND a lifelong diehard Woody Allen defender.

"First Wives Club" is one of my favourite movies and this calls for a re-watch:

Today is the International Day of the Girl!

Did you know that in Canada, girls and young women under 25 have the highest rates of sexual assault AND criminal harassment?

All girls deserve a life free from violence ❤️‍🩹

People love to come on here and accuse me of carceral feminism but all I'm seeing are 50+ men that are literally on camera sexually assaulting an unconscious woman and yet literally telling the courts that they are the actual victims.

They are clearly not safe to be out in the world right now.

Uncomfortable conversation my sector has not yet faced is how this horrific case demonstrates the difficulty of restorative justice practices for sexual assault.

These men are literally on camera, committing these acts and still refuse to take accountability.

Horrified Gisèle's legal battle got dragged on but relieved to hear that the result is an increased sentence.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

This has the same energy as men who email me to say "Men's violence against women is not real and I'm gonna prove it by raping and killing you."

Appreciative of @runchinguyenrun.bsky.social using her time in Parliament today to recognize the importance of C-11 but specifically, the contributions of us civil society experts who've been demanding better yet consistently shut out.

Being name dropped in a positive way re: CAF is refreshing 😂

The man is currently *in prison* serving a sentence for sexual assault but the legal system stays the charges on this other assault. Bananas.

Dogshit police work means a serial rapist walks.

Where is the justice for the countless survivors of this monster?

Michelle, in particular, married an American and lives primarily in the US. Her and Danielle Smith wish they were American soOoOoOoO bAd

Also, "Canadian Black Friday" is not a thing and I explicitly girlcott any brands that partake in that nonsense.

and Canadian media.

Conservatives shit on the arts but they can't get enough security theatre.

Let me teach you effective bystander intervention - for free!

Booksellers do occasionally make offers like that for e-pubs to drum up interest.

Co-signing this.

I co-founded the Radical Handmaids in 2012 to defeat an anti-choice bill* and a huge reason we were effective is that anti-choicers couldn't make fun of us because at least we *knew* we looked silly. They looked stupid as hell but took themselves seriously.

*we succeeded 💅
