The most powerful tool of oppression is keeping you so busy with the daily struggle that you don’t have the time to connect all the dots and become truly enraged.

I've been thinking about how many people, myself included, responded to Tracy Chapman's performance last night by crying. Why did we cry? What were we crying for? I'll answer my own question below, but I'm curious to hear why other people cried. 1/6

“Why should I bother testing for Covid? If I’m sick I’m sick. Knowing it’s Covid doesn’t change anything.” Actually - it does. If you know it’s Covid there are things you can & should be doing differently - despite what the CDC or other people want you to believe. A 🧵/1

I've just had my first baby & I have some *thoughts* on womanhood/ fertility/ careers in 2024 Namely – it’s fucking hard. Harder if you’re ‘infertile.’ Harder if you’ve got a (fab) job that involves a lot of travel. Harder if you need IVF. Fucking hardest if IVF doesn’t work 🧵

I have been writing this opinion piece about grief, motherhood, fertility, queer parenting & finding joy ever since I was diagnosed with cancer last year. What a release to have it in the The Globe and Mail as I end treatment (hopefully forever). #MothersDay theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.
