If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
acab and also this is the result of car-centric culture that vilifies people on bikes (and people outside of cars in general). politicians and policies that peddle these divisive narratives are as much to blame for the aggravation of violence toward your neighbours, paid for by your taxes!
PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE – A Mountie in Manitoba has been charged with stopping what he believed to be a fleeing fugitive cyclist by slamming into the suspect with his police cruiser.

Our First Nations traditional territory maps are progressing. We're likely a week away from completing our alpha build. This will replace the Native-Land.ca territory maps, which went offline earlier this year (though they have other maps still online). It'll go online at knowledgekeepr.com

This was a good reminder. One of the trustee candidates in my ward had the dog-whistle language about how schools are encouraging children to "keep secrets" from parents, which is code for queer/trans students and pronouns. Be aware of these assholes.
URGENT: As you prepare to vote in your municipal elections, please don't skirt the SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE elections, even if you don't have children. Nowhere more than any other level, the schools board elections are targeted by far-right, anti-trans/anti-EDI lunatic candidates. Vote to keep them out!

For construction: ✅ We need: easy ✅ We need: cheap ✅ We need: abundant ✅ We need: massively scalable ✅ We need: entirely sustainable Straw ticks every single box. Concrete obliterates our needs by removing humans from the planet - no housing required by 2100 if we keep concreting over our planet.
most of the speakers were MLAs and whatever you expect politicians to say, they said. it’s kinda just annoying when you think about the autistic tendency to look at things in black and white. the NDP sucks and n*hanni is infamously a terrible person but it felt like this is just a political play lol

They glued it and gave me a tetanus booster and I'm fine. But as I was walking over, a firetruck was pulling up to literally the same corner as earlier. And this is what happens when the city keeps doing fucking drug sweeps and people don't know their supply. I'm so goddamn mad

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

I wrote about stroads in yesterday's @winnipegfreepress.co, particularly about how they impact my community of South Osborne. 🚗 🚗🚶🏼♀️ 🚲 🚗 🚗 Is Osborne a street or a road? ‘Stroad’ status fails everyone – Winnipeg Free Press share.google/v1ULvKbqHaDY...
