my prayer for Potus and Co in the active words of King James' translators:

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Amen!

uh huh! AuDHD, autigender transbian. sapphic, trixic, leaning neptunic. Open to polyamory but definitely demisexual.

2SLGBTQIA+ self-descriptor i like most is queer. I think I cover this all saying 'queer, demisexual autigender demigirl' or 'queer demigirl AuDHDity living thon best grey-ace life'

a late self-discovery is valid, and represents the recognition that we have always been autistic, even as we didn't have the language to describe our experience.

i join with you in your wish for Harmony to return (fingers 🤞 toes too). Being able to see diversity modeled & to live in harmony is such a gift. i love that you have a positive memory from your growth beyond the four walls of the churched world. i have a similar experience of being raised in church

it was at one particular festival (which is not taking place now) that i explored expressions of my authentic identity. those expressions spilled over into the rest of my involvements, which flowed into the rest of my life. I am living in my fullest authenticity because of that safe (third) place.

Angela Dawn, affectionately Ela @deltashiftops.bsky.social · May 8

yes. i have a local coffee shop that does this for me. i also volunteer at a lot of music festivals in my area, so i do have a rotating third place in that regard.

For those seeking to reflect on the federal election and the incredible success of the NDP to implode.

Blueprints of Disruption Podcast @blueprints.bsky.social · May 7

NEW: The election loss for the NDP is not entirely Jagmeet Singh's fault.

The demise of the workers Party rests with the unelected inner circle, and the decisions made under Jack Layton.

Protecting the status quo for their long term job security is the abdication of the Party by the consultant class.

i hated the call centre more than i hated retail. not allowed to hang, not allowed to acknowledge friends or acquaintances that happened to get my line from the queue. at least in retail, i could acknowledge people i knew.

The important matters of the Canadian election in 2025. I love seeing our politicians being human, and showing a willingness to connect with the silliness of Nardwuar.

Nora Loreto @nolore.bsky.social · Apr 10

I just watched Jagmeet Singh and Mark Carney on Nardwuar and, man, poor Singh. It's very difficult to watch. They really scraped the bottom of the barrel to find something interesting about him.

I hate to admit that Carney is charming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZmh...

The fight for trans rights is a women’s rights issue

The fight for trans rights is a women’s rights issue

Trump’s executive order and Pierre Poilievre’s stance on trans rights fuel a divide on gender equality. Trans rights and feminism are linked and both must be defended together.

...to CBC. best use of CBC was a few years back when we, in the Maritimes, were being pummelled by a hurricane. CBC scrambled an emergency live broadcast hosted by Jeff Douglas, yes the Jeff Douglas of I Am Canadian fame. No commercial network would ever do that.

in my rural New Brunswick community, i cannot get recently released Top 40 music. We have three English radio stations, 1. 80s/90s music, 2. country music, and 3. Christian radio station. CBC is available and if you have a good FM receiver, you can get CBC Music. CBC Listen app is key to listening..
