Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt.

He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician.

"women's rights advocate" go fuck yourself

Pierre Poilievre responds to news a nurse was fined for being virulently transphobic with the following: A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned
author & women's rights advocate @jk rowling.
This is authoritarian censorship.
We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country.

I'm currently running a @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social game, so I can get used to the system and style.

I love it. From a GM perspective, they do a lot of things to ease the load.

Do you want to see a video summary of each session?

Trying to be more active on social media. I'm going to do a post everyday for 20 days to develop the habit.

That being said, peach season in Ontario is so good.

Thank you for everything that you've done.

You have changed multiple lives for the better. Enjoy your time off. ♥️

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

The only reason I still have to spend time on Twitter is because powerful people, like Canada’s MPs, continue to spend most of their time there as opposed to other social platforms.

So let’s pressure them to move elsewhere!
