🚨‼️ IT'S HERE‼️🚨 the bisexual YA book I have been working on since 2015 is finally on shelves today. THE QUEEN OF JUNK ISLAND is out in the world at last with @AnnickPress! I truly poured my heart and soul (and some uglier stuff too) into Dell's story. I hope you love it.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
As I seem to be shadowbanned, I repeat: The "riviera plan" for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, in violation of the UN Charter - amounting to aggression. The 191 members of the UN who still have an interest in protecting themselves from this madness, better recover from their paralysis and stand united against this imperialist lawlessness. PS: In any case, this plan won't work. How do I know? 76 years of failed attempts by Israel, including 16 months of genocidal assault. Indigenous people do not leave their land.

It's so special to have your work featured by the journalists you've long looked to for inspiring, powerful journalism 🥹🥹🥹 This story took a year to report and is increasingly relevant as more and more people seek asylum and arrive at our doorstep (the Greater Toronto Region)

We have been here before. Our elders have overcome worse. We will too. Our movement history is defined by our resistance to hostile, homophobic and transphobic governments around the world. In hope and defiance, we will resist, overcome, and bring liberation closer than ever.
Momentum@queermomentum

We stand in solidarity with our queer and trans siblings across the United States and around the globe. We have been here before. We remember the legacy of our movements, which has overcome and outlasted anti-queer governments time and time again. Together, we will again.

More than 2,200 migrants died or disappeared crossing the Mediterranean in 2024 amid an ongoing crackdown against civilian search and rescue operations. With European countries leaning on more anti-immigration policies, experts are worried for 2025. cbc.ca/news/world/med…

genuinely don’t understand how banning puberty blockers but only for trans kids isn’t discrimination on the basis of a protected characteristic. it isn’t just the same medication, it’s the same medication for the same purpose: delaying puberty for better outcomes for a patient

I'm so serious, if you stop using your creativity, imagination and thinking abilities you will LOSE them. Millions of people willingly giving up their intellects, the very thing that makes them human, is a nightmare straight out of our darkest science-fictions.

I think it is wrong that David Bergen continues to be attacked by the @GillerPrize, a literary organization, for daring to write and express his thoughts. Today David spoke movingly with @jayme_poisson on @FrontBurnerCBC. The interview can be heard here, cbc.ca/listen/cbc-pod…

Executive director of @GillerPrize retweeting @HonestRepCanada’s latest ‘action alert’ which basically targets writers, is quite wild. They are pathological and predatory. #gillerprize
