If this is what it takes to pin this to the top of my profile, so be it. Because I'm gonna use the shit out of this.

Local woman wakes up, thanks 76% of Alberta for not being fucko buckos but reminds us that as we get the results from the rest of the 9 questions, this province still has a long way to go developing critical thinking skills and unlearning systemic racism, makes oatmeal.

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

Okay, so I was just reading my surgical report for my gallbladder removal and that was listed as “elective”. Because it was scheduled. Even though it was scheduled the morning after I was discharged from the Longmont United Hospital emergency room. 1/3 #trans

And I had that surgery because was having gallstones. I didn’t have to get clearance from a psychologist to get it. I didn’t have to do a real life test for a year living as though I didn’t have a gallbladder. I just got the surgery. 2/3

So, two points. First, I want to remind you that when someone dismisses gender affirming care as “elective”, they are pushing a pernicious lie. Second, the double standards and the hoops trans people have to jump through to get life saving medical care are based on bigotry, not science. 3/3

So, apparently, if you are a transgender US citizen with no other nationality and you have permanent resident status in Canada, you CAN get a Certificate of Identity. Would you look at that? :) #trans #orrvtrump #scotus #passport #transrights #travel

So, I wrote a post about writing a book. ... Well, it's actually a rough draft. But it's a rough draft about a girl becoming a woman, even when your father tries to kill you for it. dariabloodworth.ca/project-ouze... #UrbanFantasy #Colorado #Thelema #Booksky 🌃📚

Here I was, minding my own business, hoping to be a trad published #author, when all of a sudden, my number of projects shot from 4-ish to 20 and there's no way I'd be able to write and publish them all this decade if I go the trad path. Worst #isekai ever, btw dariabloodworth.ca/only-compute...

If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.

Trump at his last physical said he weighed 224 lb (roughly 100 kg). I call BS. Why? This is me at around 90kg. Trump is allegedly 6’3" (or 1.91m), whereas I’m 5’8" (or 1.72m). In short, Trump looks far heavier now than I did at around 90kg. Also, @samaraislost.bsky.social took some of these pics.

Yesterday, I was at work listening to YouTube on my phone as I was running some orders in the back and I got an ad from the #alberta #ucp lying to me about how star-spangled awesome they think Alberta job market is. For reference: I live in the Yukon. #yukon So buckle up, it's a thread.

And when I came back to Canada a month after I left, I came back to Alberta where, you guessed it, I was unable to find work up until the day my abusive husband forced me to leave and I returned to the Yukon. It only took me a month of barely job searching to get a job.

I literally had interviews scheduled within a week or two of returning to #yxy. I got a job working the Census... and it was going well until my ankle twisted while I was enumerating the census and I wound up getting a Weber A fracture. ... And I got ANOTHER job before my WCB claim was decided.

When I first immigrated to Canada, I did so in November 2019. I got authorization to work in Canada around Christmas that year. From the time I got that to the time I moved to the Yukon, I worked for a month. But it was COVID times, so I didn't judge too harshly, but I know how hard I applied.

Moving back to Calgary in 2023, I transferred within TD and after that didn't work, I had a hard time finding a new job - to the point where I moved back to the Yukon. And even when I went to Yukon U, I was still employed up until the day I had to leave Canada.

I'm not surprised the UCP in Alberta is lying. The UCP lies about trans people, they lie about Alberta independence, and they lie about the Alberta economy. But I can tell you my actual, lived experience: I've spent more months unemployed than employed in Alberta. The opposite is true in the Yukon.

Bluesky built an excellent compromise that allowed peoples' preferences on NSFW content to be reflected in a pretty granular, non-punitive system. Now, in a time of rising fascism, where 'anti-obscenity' politics very often mask misogyny and queerphobia, they *are* punishing NSFW creators.

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Also, while I'm on the topic, I'd love to be able to nest workspaces. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to nest my theremin and singing workspaces into my Music workspace. Also, I'd be able to make "Generic Fitness" into just "Fitness" and stick Swimming and Cycling in there.

I wound up needing to go back to sleep for a little nap this morning and I wound up having a nightmare about my abusive husband. Specifically, I was back in Edmonton and trapped. Everything I had worked for, evaporated. The thing that snapped me back to reality was feeling the CPAP mask on my face.

I'm so glad to be home here in the Yukon. Next Tuesday, it'll be two months since I escaped. My husband wanted to claim that I was being irrational for leaving. I disagree. Best decision of my life.

You know what irks me? When bigots try to misrepresent their bigotry and hate speech as "disagreement". As if it's a philosophical difference of opinion instead of a bigoted trope that is held without reason and defended against all reason. Meanwhile, their hate speech meets an objective test. 1/

Specifically, the legal definition provided by the Supreme Court of Canada in R v. Keegstra and Saskatchewan v. Whatcott. They definitely meet these standards as they call to vilify transgender people and advocate for our mistreatment. /2

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the @steamdeck.com is back in stock... and I'm also glad that I got mine before it shot up in price $500 (before GST). But this is why I'm anti-AI. The RAM crisis is fucking awful and the prices of NVMe storage isn't much better.

More people need to wake up to the active trans genocide in this country. It’s never talked about anywhere.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

In Seattle, organizers are warning of a growing crisis as more and more trans refugees seek to escape red states. Mutual aid networks of "broke trans people helping broke trans people" are being overwhelmed, and one organizer @evanurquhart.bsky.social spoke with is facing eviction herself.

I’m literally trading in my US passport for a Canadian certificate of identity because I can’t renew my current US passport due to the dumbfuckery going on down south at the moment. Fuck America’s 250th.

Anyone else just going to skip all July 4/250 celebrations, large & small, this year? I will go to any and all ethnic festival & art festival, but I cannot celebrate the slow death* of my country at the hands of stupid, corrupt pieces of shit. *Which we can reverse if voters stop being idiots.

I just voted in the Colorado Democratic primary (yeah, as a UOCAVA voter) and this is how I learned that today, that coward Jared Polis granted clemency to that crooked, lying scumbag Tina Peters.
