Officially starting the Tim Horton’s Boycott today.
My daughter is working there, under protest (not given any opportunity not to wear the garb or not make the products, she’s a baker)
I wish JK would just go away.
No Iced Capps for me for a while. 😢

🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 I think the senator is someone many of us might know on Masto.
"Wells says the collection, Reading with Pride: Stories for Everyone, “is like taking a walk” through the generations and decades of change for LGBTQ2S+ people.
“It’s beautiful to be able to see that change, books becoming more inclusive and intersectional, reflecting the greater understanding and empathy of our communities in the books being published now,” he says."

For those in the faux-religious, faux-reality Trump Reich in the US, and finding their community not only dismissed but actively challenged and made illegal, here’s what reality looks like for Pride in Toronto (Canada) tonight.
LGBTQ2S community, straights, families and all colours - no indoctrination involved - all showing up to celebrate, and just have a good time.
Here’s a video.
Oh, and a sidebar - massive parade and celebration reported in Budapest (Hungary) today, only weeks after an anti-fascist vote result…

#TwoSpirit #Powwows: Shared Resources To Help Celebrate #Indigiqueer Joy
Two-Spirit powwows are forming out of community needs and more continue to pop up each year.
by Nika Bartoo-Smith, Underscore Native News + ICT June 5, 2026
"Two-Spirit powwows have been a growing space in nearly the last 15 years all across Turtle Island for Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer community members and allies.
"From one of the longest-running dedicated Two-Spirit powwows in San Francisco to the second annual in Montana, Two-Spirit powwows have two common goals: to share resources and celebrate Indigiqueer joy.
" 'We want to honor and celebrate the fact that even through #genocide, even through #assimilation, Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer folks are alive and thriving, and are contributing in endless ways to their own families, to their own communities, and to the world,' said #AngelFabian, executive director of the Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits. Fabian is Ben’Zaa (Zapotecx) and Xicanx.
"As the #Trump administration has brought with it a wave of attacks on the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ people, especially trans rights, the importance of Two-Spirit powwows, societies and spaces are essential and continue to grow.
" 'We’re not going to go away, we’re not going to allow you to erase us and erase our culture, despite what the federal government and state legislatures continue to try and do,' said #DavidHerrera, Mestizo and adopted Blackfeet. Herrera is the co-founder and executive director of the Montana Two Spirit Society.
"Here’s a quick glance at the three Two-Spirit powwows that take place across the country, with two happening this summer."
How is it those who have the very least to worry about ever being affected by it, are those who are most often the most vocal against the LBGTQ2S community?
It’s almost as if they resent not being of interest to them. Physically, mentally or sexually.
#happypridemonth #2026 to everyone in & around the #rainbow #lgbtq2s+ #community from #dragqueen #connielingua
First Nation or Native American, Two Spirit or third gender are being added as a suffix to #LGBTQ type acronyms; but after the genocide of which they were and are part, they should be added as a prefix as in #2SLGBTQIA+ instead of #LGBTQ2S etc
“Ceremony to me is the sweet treat of life and that is chocolate. Good, deep, dark chocolate.”
Yeah, this -
It's what I call The RuPaul Effect. RuPaul reminds all that we must be 'inclusive', but the upshot of that is that packs of straight women - okay, sometimes with their one token gay friend - feel it is their right to come into a gay bar (a destination intentionally meant to be safe space for that community, especially when the 'inclusitivity' isn't shown elsewhere).
BTW, just to be clear - not all gay men are into drag, either.
#Introduction time! This is the official account for the YYC Dyke and Trans March located on Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi), Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Michif Piyii (Métis), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, and Tsuut’ina land.
This march has been active for over a decade. It is joyful resistance, uniting our community to continue pushing for protections, safety, and happiness, while also reminding us that we are not alone in this struggle. We welcome anyone who would march with us.
In 2025, anti-trans legislation is expected to take effect August 30th, the day of this march. This legislation cruelly and unfairly targets trans and queer experiences, particularly those of trans-youth. This transphobic government wants to legislate us back into the closet. We won't let them.
Join us in our rally cry for respect and safety! Stand up for Queer Rights in Alberta!

I met some rad folks, while out, this evening 😀
Nerd detective time, please:
"Set in a cafe, there's this couple in middle school between a guy and an enby called Mogu (Mogumi? Maybe?) with white hair and short low pigtails, usually. I think a bear hair clip as well? Cute af tiny backpack!
People ask a few times if Mogumo (?) is a trans girl.
They keep saying "no, I'm not a boy nor a girl. I'm just a person. I'm me, something else" or along those lines.
Somehow, they get work in a cafe with other GNC and queer people. (I think maybe a lesbian schoolfriend had a crush on them, thinking they were a girl, but I feel like that may have been a different story.)
One was a gay guy who just liked dressing like a chick sometimes. Another was a trans chick. I can't remember but again, maybe a sapphic somewhere? "
(Unrelated: does anyone know of a good corollary for sapphic? Like, the gayest of historical dudes, so gay he embodies the idea of MLM but as an adjective.)
Got it! "Mogumo (百雲 龍之助 Mogumo Ryuunosuke) is the protagonist of Fukakai na Boku no Subete o. Mogumo is a first-year in high school who was assigned male at birth but identifies as non-binary or X-gender. They wish for friends that would truly understand them. They eventually develop a romantic relationship with Tetsu Iwaoka." https://fukaboku.fandom.com/wiki/Mogumo

At some point I expect Canada’s Liberal Party to regress like Labour is doing in the UK. Our political class still look to both the UK and USA for direction, like meek children.

A few years ago, I’m in Toronto and a street is being closed down and barricades being set up.
Very close to me is a young woman and her, maybe, 6 year old son. Child asks ‘Why?’ Woman replies they are getting street ready for a party. Child asks ‘What kind of party?’ Woman replies, ‘Well, you know how Mummy and Daddy love each other? Sometimes a Mummy loves another Mummy, or a Daddy loves a Daddy. This is a party for them.’ Child thinks for a second and says, ‘Cool!’

Just this on Canadian network TV, from Health Canada.
While I imagine there are some wannabe Trumpians up here who are gnashing their teeth at it, I can only imagine what would happen if such a PSA showed up in the USA! Oh, the frothing from the mouth and breast beating. And that's just from the Oval Office....

Meanwhile, Home Depot and Google have pulled out of sponsorship for Toronto Pride. No real surprise given HQs in US.

Just a reminder that I've got low tolerance for white #cis folks who claim to be trying to be allies/be helpers towards #BIPOC & #LGBTQ2S marginalized communities but are quick to tell us that they know better. No. You fucking don't know better than us, the marginalized peoples, ourselves. Stay in your lane & learn to actually listen to #marginalized voices instead of telling us that you know better than us, when we are living the fugly realities that you're privileged enough to not endure, multiple times throughout your life.

Thought y'all might like to see how my stitching looks before adding backing to my work. After I finish stitching (I used the two needle method for this project) I trim the excess pellon and burn the edges to make it neater (That way you don't risk trimming too close and cutting stitches). Then I add the backing, bar pin, and edging, and all done!
