This thread is related to ICE in the USA, but I think this also needs to apply to the 'MapleMAGA' in Canada.

Traitors, all of them. And we need to freeze them out, or we'll be facing our own ethnic cleansing squads here 😕

Disinvite them from the tailgate. Do not go to the baby shower. Call out their bullshit on Facebook. Do not just purse your lips and nod politely.

Ostracize the living shit out of them. Leave their church potluck casserole untouched. These people are extremely vulnerable to social shame.

Like this place isn’t really anywhere at all, but instead between two real places.

Mirrors like in-betweens, after all.

And if anyone thinks I am using this bad news to self promote — if BRCA2+ was more well known, this news might not have been so bad. So I don’t wanna hear it.

Ziggy Schutz @ziggyschutz.bsky.social · 16d

Anyway, I have a personal essay coming out this week about navigating BRCA2+ preventative surgeries while straddling the lines of gender identities and accessing ‘women’s’ health.

Fucking wild timing, that.

The best way to describe how I’m doing right now is that when my dad called me to tell me of a family member passing, he referenced how these calls will be a bit of a trend for a while.

(Just real bad health news x 4 this month)

Was saving up for more than a year for my teeth to be fixed and get implants but I lost nearly all my savings because I had a cancer scare (ti-rads 4 nodules) and needed surgery to get it removed and now am in constant pain again and cant even close my mouth properly 💯 please buy my art. Please!

Fantastic thread.

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Screenshot of a Variety article by Todd Spangler with a headline that reads "Audible's Harry Potter Series Expands cast with Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More"

Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart; Keira Knightley as Professor Umbridge; Iwan Rheon as Professor Lupin; Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange; Ambika Mod as Nymphadora Tonks; Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley; Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley; James McAvoy as Mad-Eye Moody; Gemma Whelan as Professor Sprout; and Matt Berry as Sir Cadogan.

Cush Jumbo OBE as the narrator, Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as The Patil Twins.

But although I was hurt by them, in ways I haven’t quite figured out how to voice, I wasn’t hurt to the same extent as others. And the last thing I wanna do is jumpscare folks who were victimized by them by bringing up old stuff.

Ziggy Schutz @ziggyschutz.bsky.social · Sep 11

Every once in a while I get the itch to put the stuff I know about a certain someone with 50 alternate accounts into a doc or something.

There’s stuff that I witnessed that hasn’t really come up in the conversations about them?

None of it surprising, but potentially important elements.

Just found this out today and I sighed so loud I think I pulled something.

How fucking hateful.
