cry about it is OUT NOW. wow. wild.

the phrase we’ve been using to describe the theme of this ep is “grieving the good times, even as they're happening,” and that really truly could not feel more apt right now. there will always be grief and there will always be joy,

if you saw us at any of our pride shows, odds are pretty good that you saw us play tegan and sara's the con live - it is SUCH a blast to play, so we decided to take a swing at it (mostly) acapella. (i guess just stripped down? whatever)
happy tuesday. love you. see you soon.

yeah this is really good. i can’t quit put my finger on what it reminds me of the most (which is dumb cause i don’t listen to a lot of softer stuff like this).

so i’ll just say it’s like Julien Baker’s Sprained Ankle + The Hotelier’s Goodness and we’ll call that close enough.

houseguest @houseguestband.bsky.social · 22d

hey whoa this is EXTREMELY kind, thank you so much. both big artists for us.

sure would be nice if people called out anti-trans propaganda about our health care in this way, instead of calling it “culture wars”

Since this is going to be headline news tomorrow…

The highest quality research has shown Tylenol use in pregnancy is NOT at all associated with autism risk.

To suggest otherwise is to be an amateur that cherry-picks data points from decades ago.

What we discussed 2 weeks ago remains true today ⬇️

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · Sep 8

There’s a lot of problem in US Healthcare. It’s early out west, I’m in an ICU, and I see directly the challenges we need to work on.

One thing we don’t need to worry about is pre-natal use of Tylenol as a cause of Autism.

Yet here we are. We provide an explanation on yet another distraction.

if you are able to donate, too, the links are in our linktree.
as of now, vps has not implemented ANY of the demands from queers against israeli apartheid & queer collective for palestine - given this, we are continuing to encourage folks to email VPS directly. the template is in our linktree.

hey, all; as promised, all funds from vancouver pride - including all merch profits - have been donated. given how dire the situations in sudan and the DRC are, we decided to provide support to Al Abbasiya Community Kitchen & Friends of the Congo as well as to the Sameer Project.

the palestinian flag with a lot of text that reads:

"hey, all.

do you know how horrible it feels to have the military swallow your city and then have more of your fellow citizens care about a new taylor swift album instead

This is the story of the year for Vancouver.
Vancouver police manipulated the public in order to get the current city council elected.
Then they broke the law by delaying the release of records.
There are suspicious gaps in the released data, delays caused data to be purged... This is so ugly.

"It wasn’t until November 2023 that the public learned, through CTV News reporting, that stranger assaults had been plummeting throughout 2022, already dropping to an average of 1.8 per day in the first half of the year."

‘Fear and anxiety’: What our police FOI requests uncovered about Vancouver’s stranger assaults scare

Internal emails obtained through Freedom of Information requests shed light on the Vancouver Police Department's media strategy related to stranger assaults ahead of the city's 2022 election.
