Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.

He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.

The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.

This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies
Happy birthday to Tommy Fairfield!

My daughter (who speaks French) calls PP "Pebbles", and I don't hate it. (pierre kinda means pebbles, for those who don't speak French)
Ah, so that's how it would work. Might I suggest North Island-Powell River? Aaron Gunn doesn't deserve to represent Canada.
Yes, a Conservative MP has to resign their seat to trigger a byelection that PP could run in.

When that happens they usually try to pick an ultra-safe seat (so in this case, probably somewhere in Alberta) because yes, losing the byelection would be super embarrassing.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Having a long memory sucks. Because it means having to watch shitty people in the field crop up repeatedly. Finally looked at the full Aurora list and René Walling is back to conrunning? René who is, unless something changed in the last decade, still banned from Readercon for life. ->

We are still dealing with the fallout of Harris decades later

If PP is elected and allowed to do this at a critical moment for Canada, this country may *never* recover
If Poilievre wins office, he’s planning a blitzkrieg of cuts and deregulation, following the model of Ontario premier Mike Harris.

In an excerpt from his new book, Martin Lukacs reveals the first details of the group plotting Poilievre’s 100 day agenda.
