Watching this be QTd into the moon by the same people telling Queer folk to keep ‘politics, & what goes on behind our bedroom doors out of their sport’.
Coincidence its being applauded when a straight white powerful man is doing all those things while dunking on the leafs or??

On Thursday, we put the hockey world on notice.
Alongside a driven board of Directors, committee members, countless queer folk, and allies & ambassadors throughout the hockey community, we are going to change the game, one shift at a time.
Stay tuned!! 📻👀🏳️🌈
A heartfelt thank you to all who to our launch event.
It was an incredible evening and gives us so much hope for the future of our sport.
Thank you all for your online support as we work to make hockey safe and equitable.

Astounded that people still disagree that public transit discriminates. The destruction of moss park is just another example of classism at work. There’s an absence of fail safes, made worse when this govt pays for-profit corporations - aka their friends - to do the work. SMH.
We need Eglinton, Ontario Line, Scarborough, Waterfront LRT and so many other new transit lines completed. They should’ve been done years ago. The plans should be fact- based, include funding and strategies to help small businesses survive, protect natural heritage and historic..

The incidents occurring on the #TTC are gut wrenching and must stop. But we know crime rates don’t rise for no reason, sincerely hope governments look at the correlation to the decline of community social supports (eg. no housing, cold temps, no doctors, rising food costs).

Not me justifying my spending habits because the consistently rising rate of inflation basically makes every current purchase an “investment”

Feeling thankful for Porter & his need to be obsessively close to me because post-holiday return to work + a week straight of gross, grey Toronto weather is depressing af & should not be legally allowed to occur simultaneously.
ALT White dog with a black head sits bow-legged on sand, with his tongue out. He is smiling because he just bothered his bestie for three hours straight to go to the park.. and won.
ALT White dog with a black head makes himself far to comfortable laying across the couch, sleeping with his head on a pillow, while his bestie works a 9-5 to finance his comfort.
ALT White, large dog takes up entire “L” section of the couch where bestie was working, forcing them to split their legs and lay the computer on the sleeping dog so they can continue to work and finance the dogs comfortable home.

Played in a mens league game where most guys were 6’2+ and I was battling for a puck and a GROWN ASS MAN CRIED to the ref that I tripped him. Ref, through laughter, goes you stepped on the puck guy, grow up. Not all men, y’all. Not all men.

I don’t put too much into annual days but I do hope the worlds a more accessible and kind place by this marker next year.
Disability is not inability. Resilience shouldn’t be necessary. Being kind is free. #IDPWD22

Y’all it’s #GivingTuesday, pick a charity and #PayItForward!! I woke up today privileged, I have access to the resources I need for challenges, but I wouldn’t be able to say that today without the charities who supported me years ago. Help your community today if you can!
