A screenshot from an article featuring a photo of a stone carved artwork, showing ancient writing and depicting the Goddess Inanna. The Goddess has wings, she holds a scepter in one hand and has one leg bent and resting on a lion's back. The text reads "of people living outside the gender binary in ancient Mesopotamia. The words of Enheduanna, Inanna’s High Priestess in the city of Ur in the 23rd Century BCE, attest to this. In her Passionate Inanna she writes: ‘To destroy, to create, to tear out, to establish are yours, Inanna. / To turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man are yours, Inanna.’ (115-131). The exact meanings of the original Sumerian cannot be known for sure; the passage could instead relate simply to gender stereotypes, but this is not the only instance of ancient references to people living outside the gender binary. "

A screenshot from an article, the text reads "In Sumerian times, priests for Inanna known as the gala were said to have been created by the god Enki to sing laments for her, one of their central roles in her temple. From the beginning of the Old Babylonian Period, their role was heavily expanded, and mourning rites originally sung by women replaced over time by members of the gala. Men who joined the priesthood in devotion for Inanna became women for all intents and purposes, adopting female names and singing in the Sumerian eme-sal dialect, reserved for feminine speakers to render the speech of female gods. The gala were heavily involved in her temples, performing elegies and lamentations, presiding over religious rites and healed and looked after the sick and poor. They were respected members of the community, closely related"

Trans people have always existed and always will, in every culture, since the beginning of the human race. We will always be here, they cannot stop us. (From Ancient Mesopotamian Transgender and Non-Binary Identities - by Morg Daniels ) www.academuseducation.co.uk/post/ancient...

we could've ended World War 2 in a month with this knowledge

Essentially, the Canadian government is doing everything that it can keep us poor, desperate, and distracted. It’s doing this, so it can continue to perpetuate genocide against Palestinian people, against indigenous people, and against any person who is not white.

Like, I don't think I need to say it?

But if you don't fuck with my trans homies then you can fuck yourself.

A tweet from Doug Ford: Starting this September, we're giving elementary school homeroom teachers across Ontario $750 annual Classroom Supplies Cards that they can use on arts and crafts, flash cards and other classroom supplies. Find out more about how we're investing record funding directly into our education system so we can help students learn, grow and succeed.

1. I doubt it’ll happen.
2. If it does happen, we’ll be expected to buy from Doug’s friends.
3. Flashcards?
4. School boards can get better deals than individual teachers by doing bulk purchases.
5. Arts & crafts?
6. What if the govt properly funded education instead of doing performative gimmicks?

Niagara Region chair owns signed copy of Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ Niagara anti-racism groups are condemning recently appointed Niagara Region Chair Bob Gale for having purchased a copy of “Mein Kampf” signed by Adolf Hitler in 2010.

Well, this was not on my political bingo card for 2026.

Oh wow. It’s almost like this was never about kids and always about erasing trans people. Fucking sick.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Why would I care about the literal price tag of war? What is $11 billion dollars to the United States? Who knows? Was that money ever going to be used to uplift people?

Decoding the incredible violence we're responsible for and recoding it as money is paving over the deaths those dollars paid for.

V.A. Begins Drive to Put Homeless Veterans Into Guardianship

Every single day, it's a new moral injury. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

The Iran War is costing $11,000 per SECOND but tell me again how we can't afford healthcare.

We're literally spending a billion dollars per day on murdering children but I'm supposed to believe we can't fix homelessness.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

I have a million thoughts but I'll say this : Men's suffering is *always* treated as more important than the suffering of women.

Sexual assault survivors actually have the highest rates of PTSD in the world, but that never gives us pity or leeway.

Men on the other hand? Kid gloves.

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

I have such admiration for immigrants, particularly when they wear traditional clothing. I think it must take a lot of guts and confidence to show their pride in a new land. And they always look just fabulous!

“We’ve. Been scooping voices and content for so long we got ahead of ourselves. We thought we had expanded to the point folks wouldn’t care if we did it to academics thanks to the wave of anti university sentiment. We’ll try again later”

Canada’s three main federal political parties are working together to fight voter privacy rights Canada’s three main political parties — the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP — have banded together to avoid privacy laws aimed at protecting voter data.

“Federal political parties are in the process of exempting themselves, retroactively, from a law that would require them to be governed by the same privacy principles as other organizations.”

I'm sorry but "we went too far in fighting racism" is not a take I consider serious from absolutely anyone who considers themselves on the left so long as mass incarceration, the eviction crisis, the school to prison pipeline, educational segregation, lead water pipes, and the economic draft exist.
