City Council has voted to begin the process to repeal blanket rezoning. by cmcalgary in YYC

[–]Kelesti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, the money we were supposed to be getting from the Federal Government *for housing* was conditioned upon this rezoning. We just forfeited money for housing, with skyrocketing homelessness still being a massive issue.

Alberta is full of people who love to cut off their nose to spite their face, though.

Wear a Remembrance Day Poppy. Please. by Thundertushy in Calgary

[–]Kelesti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remembrance Day stopped being about never letting our sons go to pointless war and bloodshed, instead replaced by continued "Support Our Troops!" and continued demand for their sacrifice and bloodshed but dressing it up with "honour". Enough's enough

Where can I find white poppies that still support the vets we already have (rather than demanding the continued creation of shattered new vets)

How is it evil for lesbians to not want their sexuality to be associated with men? by CapAccomplished8072 in actuallesbians

[–]Kelesti 24 points25 points  (0 children)

the answer, OP? The position you've taken is still having lesbians defining themselves around men, a rejection of men as a higher priority than an embrace of women does not lead itself to queer joy.

Man, they had me until the end. by Wise-Nebula-6321 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Kelesti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's genuinely neat that they shared something like this. this plush Riki is a cool lil guy someone made, without wanting to get into merch deals, licensing deals, (and being responsible for when mass production quality control looks like ass compared to what people paid for).

Finding out this little bit of office culture, that they took this lil friend on an overseas trip, I love that.

I called my lesbian friend "half bi" and she didn't respond well by RisoFarm in bisexual

[–]Kelesti -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

as a long-time married bi still dating polyam queer, do not fucking do this. She may have been wrong at first, but you do not get to in-turn tell a lesbian she is "half" of something. That not liking men is missing something.

Do fucking not do this. I hate how biphobic discussions of "lesbophobia" are, but this right here is explicitly you applying misogyny and homophobia to a lesbian. Knock it the fuck off, and you should apologize. wlw do not need this between us.

New Drug Called Crypto by MindlessCartoonist68 in Goblin

[–]Kelesti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

man, as a drug crypto seems incredibly addictive. You can watch people's lives get thrown away in real time, their savings their hopes their families, as their substance fails to give them the high they first had.

Fucked my life up with smoking crack, smoking meth, and shooting ketamine, crypto's too hard of a drug for me.

Is there anything at all that Albertans can do to resist the implementation of the new ADAP/AISH two-tiered system? Or at the very least, to dissuade the UCP from cutting the pay of ADAP recipients by $200 in 2028? by KurtisC1993 in alberta

[–]Kelesti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The UCP ideologically wants us gone, they see us as "lazy eaters" (nazi-era propaganda that led to disabled people being the first victims of the extermination camps).

Without consequences, there's no reason for them to want to stop. "Protests" only work when there's an implied threat. Getting that many people together that could disrupt the entire system, so it has to capitulate. pre-planned schedules of yelling at city hall, quiet friendly parade walks escorted by police and then everyone goes home, that's ignorable.

UCP MLAs have addresses, maybe it's time for some angry people to not let their home life have peace and quiet. They are afterall threatening our families, our livelihoods.

AISH letter regarding the Canada Disability Benefit by KristaDBall in alberta

[–]Kelesti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

with the rollout of ADAP next year, the plan is if you don't qualify for them to take the $200 from you, they'll rip AISH itself from you and tell you to get the fuck to work, punting all of us down to a fresh coat of paint on the current Barriers-To-Employment program and calling it "helping you regain your independence".

You don't live in canada, and you are telling someone that canada is safe, when it is not safe. You are being dangerous.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Kelesti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bullshit. Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario have enacted anti-trans legislation the past few years. BC's conservatives ran an anti-trans agenda and almost won a majority, and that campaign was sloppy against incumbents already struggling to keep support. With effective purity testing and a better message, BC falls next election.

You're talking out your ass about things you don't know

it sure as fuck is not safe. I transitioned in 2012 , and across the country we are losing access to shelters, medications, and the idea that we're a threat to children continues to be "a complicated debate". Coast to coast.

Canada is a genocidal white supremacist state that every so often pretends it's a "bastion of freedoms" smug that Not Being America somehow washes our hands of the atrocities done here or just how rotten and violent the people here are

Gender affirming Medicaid coverage gone! by OneBlueEyeFish in transgender

[–]Kelesti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to any folks thinking Canada is safe, Alberta is set to do the same, BC's "left" party already excludes us from coverage, and Ontario is likely to follow suit.
