For some reason when I heard the name "church of bubbles" my mind just went straight to imagining Bubbles from trailer park boys running a church out of a van.

That's what massage therapy is for.

(not the lazy relaxation kind, the actual medical therapy kind)

The Russian government is a disgrace to humanity, and honestly has been for the better part of the last 100 years.

(I'm proud of our culture though ^-^)

No. As someone who's Russian (born in Canada tho), I will be the first to say that *not* flying the Russian flag at City Hall tells me that city hall has a moral backbone. I will be proud that they (hopefully) won't be flying that flag.

"Instead, we’ve a free-for-all, though I suspect the Russian flag will be nowhere near a civic flagpole on May 9, given the current conflict in Ukraine.

What does that say to thousands of Calgarians with Russian heritage? That all flags are created equal, but some are more equal than others?"

4 frame comic. in the first frame, we see a candle; in the second, a trans flag ; in the third, birds flying off a tree near a house; in the fourth, someone blowing on a fire. text reads : november 20th is trans day of remembrance, during which we remember trans people who died in the past year due to transphobic violence. When I was younger, t.d.o.r. always galvanized me into working even harder towards dignity and justice for trans people. may each of the 281 names on this year's list - and the many more names that we don't know - ignite in our heart a relentless desire to keep dreaming.

Pee in Peace ( PIP ) Program At Esse House, our mission is to improve the lives of trans and gender diverse people in need by providing essential services and support to our community. Founded in May 2025, our PIP Program distributes accessible toilet keys to people who are experiencing, or are fearful of, hostilities in public facilities and work environments. As an organisation, we are firmly in opposition to UK government developments regarding trans rights, and believe that they are in contravention of European Human Rights law.

The keys are free if you need them to be, but if donating, we suggest a minimum donation of £5/key to cover our costs (and encourage those who can afford it to donate whatever they can, so that we can continue to assist those on low incomes for free.) Please note: Free Keys are limited to 1 per person. Keys by Donation are limited to 3 per person

We exist to help trans people negotiate the UK safely.

Please support, even if it's just to spread the word that we exist as an organisation 🙏

4 frame comic. 1st frame is a portrait of Ava Cordero. Text reads : In 2008, Ava Cordero, a latina trans woman, was one of the first to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of child sexual abuse and rape, for events that took place between 2000 and 2001. she was 16. 2nd frame is a drawing of Epsteins Island. Text reads : The court found her accusations credible, but decided to dismiss the case because it exceeded the recently passed maximum time within which legal pro- ceedings may be initiated for such cases.* Source: *cordero v. Epstein, supreme Court, NY county, October 10th, 2008 3rd frame is a newspaper showing Cordero, her ex-partner, and Epstein. Title reads S(he) has a history. Text reads : The accused, his allies and the press were quick to paint Cordero as delusional, mocking the idea that Epstein could have had a relationship with a trans girl because he was heterosexual. 4th frame shows Epstein and Trump. Text reads : Cordero never fully got justice. Let's make sure that her fight wasn't in vain. Too many women like her live with the consequences of what Epstein and his accomplices have done. Under the strip, text reads : Special shout-out to Eli erlick for unearthing Ava's story!

Justice for Ava.

Ummm in what universe is that (or detainment) a reasonable response to an unarmed aid mission?

juliakieren 7h This petition to the Canadian government is regarding immigration policy for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals who are at risk, experiencing discrimination, violence and more. Please read the petition and then sign it. © budstopher 16h I've published a petition asking the government to do exactly that. They're not a safe country anymore and our immigration policies need to be updated...

The only thing I'm worried about is teachers not getting their demands met and our public education system continuing to crumble. Why don't you think about the lasting impact of THAT.

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Do you? Because if you did then you wouldn't be here whining about American rioters not throwing molotov cocktails. You'd know that American resistance is nowhere close to ready for that kinda thing to be successful. You'd know the value in peaceful resistance at this time.

If you're gonna go the violent root, it's prob better to build momentum, get properly organized, get armed and ready for the worst, and only escalate as a last resort.

You gotta have a big enough group of people who are organized, armed, and committed enough to actually put up a real fight.

But also violence is a really great way to turn most people against you and your cause. Right now the violence is all on ICE, and that means more ppl are swayed against them.

Protesters throwing molotovs is exactly the excuse they are looking for. It's a bad idea to do that unless the movement is ready to really deal with martial law. It'd escalate to an actual war very quickly at that point imo, because that is exactly what the GOP is itching for.

Some view it as antithetical & causing an erosion of rights:
Opponents argue that allowing governments to override guaranteed rights, even temporarily, weakens the fundamental protections the Charter is meant to provide.

He really is so desperate for an excuse to blame and demonize "the left".

Also "emissary of peace" my ass. Kirk low-key advocated for stoning lbgtq people to death.

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