an ✨introduction✨
Hi! I’m Wren (is that my real name?? you’ll never know hehe), and I use she/they pronouns. I’m a decolonial, abolitionist, and queer academic with a raging hatred for capitalism and bigotry in general!
I’m also an artist, writer, and an anxious mess! On this blog, I will usually post ADHD-related study hacks, alongside radical leftist educational resources and information.
If you have any questions, I’m always happy to answer them to the best of my ability!

March 31st is Two Spirit and Transgender day of visibility! Here's a great post from the Canadian Museum of Human Rights about the parental rights movement and how it's harming gender diverse youth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the last few years, the "parental rights" movement has been growing in Canada, which aims to deny 2SLGBTQI+ youth their fundamental rights.
While many groups claim they are simply trying to protect their children, the policies they advocate for are often rooted in transphobia and homophobia and can have very harmful consequences.
March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility, which in Manitoba is known as Two-Spirit and Transgender Day of Visibility. Today, we're confronting four myths surrounding the parental rights movement, so that we can all help protect 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
Confronting 4 myths about the parental rights movement
What is the "parental rights" movement?
Throughout Canada, groups of people are targeting 2SLGBTQI+ students in an effort to remove their rights. In some cases, they have been successful under the guise of "parental rights".
The methods vary by province, but often the parental rights movement tries to:
Force teachers to notify parents if a student changes their pronouns or asks to go by another name
Make sex-ed less accessible to students
Remove books from school and libraries that contain 2SLGBTQI+ content
MYTH 1
"Parents should have full control over the lives of their children."
Children are not property.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not explicitly mention "parental rights", but rather guarantees the rights of all - including children.
While the Charter does give everyone the freedom of religion and conscience, this does not overrule children's right to freedom of expression.
Young v Young (1993) determined that "the best interest of the child" supersedes any parental beliefs and preferences.
While determining the "best interest of the child" can be complicated, the Convention on the Rights of the Child states that the "best interest" is directly linked to:
Children having the right to form and express their own views
Children being included in the discussion of their rights
In 2017, "gender identity or expression" became protected grounds in the Canadian Human Rights Act.
Forcing teachers to inform parents that a student has chosen to change their names or pronouns can have very harmful consequences.
Students who are misgendered face higher risks of anxiety, depression, and thoughts of suicide. When students are forced to come out to their family, they risk family conflict, violence, rejection and homelessness.
MYTH 2
"There are only two genders."
For as long as humans have existed, there have been more than two genders.
Many Indigenous peoples in Canada have always recognized what are now known as Two-Spirit people. Many other cultures around the world have recognized and celebrated people who don't fit into the gender binary.
These policies specifically target 2SLGBTQI+ students, as cisgender* students typically can go by any name they want without parental notice or approval.
MYTH 3
"Schools are indoctrinating our kids."
Indoctrination noun: the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.
Curriculums that have included information about the diversity of genders throughout history and in various places are accused of being instruments of indoctrination.
However, by excluding such information about gender identity, sexual health and other related topics, the parental rights movement is imposing their own system of indoctrination on children rather than encouraging critical thinking.
Claims that there are widespread efforts by teachers encouraging students to change their pronouns are unfounded, and have dangerous consequences.
(*Cisgender - A person who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth.)
MYTH 4
"We're just protecting our children."
Often, people try to justify homophobic and transphobic hate speech under the guise of "protecting" their children. These views are often based on their false belief that people from 2SLGBTQI+ communities are inherently dangerous.
In an attempt to vilify 2SLGBTQI+ communities and their allies, the slurs "pedophile" and "groomer" are often used in a process known as "othering".
Othering is intended to create an "us versus them" mentality to legitimize the oppression of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. The same process has been used to justify atrocities around the world.
Courts are recognizing the harm these slurs can have. In 2025, an Ontario court ordered a person to pay $380,000 in damages after making Facebook posts calling two drag performers "groomers" and "pedophiles."
"When you show up as your authentic self, whatever that may be, you allow others to do the same, creating the world we all deserve."
-Shanna Katz Kattari (they/them), professor, sexuality educator and activist

Ramadan Mubarak.
What should be a time for the people in Palestine to spend joyfully with their families is still a nightmare. Resources like food, water, and medicine are still scarce and bombs are still falling on children in tents.
If you have the means, please consider donating to my friend Hamza during his and his family’s time of need. They have had such a rough go of life, and could use the help, especially during the holiday. If you can’t donate please consider reblogging — everything is helpful!!

honestly the main reason i care about harm reduction is that i believe addicts are deserving of life. "what if they don't get clean?" they still deserve to live. "what if they don't contribute?" they still deserve to live. "what if they 'abuse' the system?" they still deserve to live.
addicts deserve to live by virtue of them being human. nothing will change that. nobody deserves to die of an overdose.
This is a picture of a cis woman, y’all are literally just racist
TERFS DID THIS TO ME ON TUMBLR. I got an anon telling me I passed terribly. like. I'm literally cis and by telling me I do not pass, you are showing that you view womanhood in ways that are not only regressive for trans folk but also regressive and harmful for the very cis women you claim to support and prioritize. They uphold the very beauty and gender performative standards they seek to diminish. Fuck terfs.
Daily reminder that TERFism has roots in both fascism (eugenics, patriarchal gender performance) and white supremacy (euronormative standards of beauty and biology) and is by no means a viable form of feminism.

it feels so evil that you can't still access your university online library after you graduate *remembers my principles* it feels so evil that everyone can't access to that stuff all the time
That is very true.

[sports commentator voice] it seems her adhd medication has just kicked in. we should see some top-notch essay writing in the next few minutes—but oh no, what's this?!!! it seems she found her old french journals and is currently hyperfocused on reviewing subjunctive conjugations. oh fuck oh god her paper is due tonight. this could be catastrophic, folks
sighing really long and loud. they should invent an essay that does itself
(horror drone sound effect in the background getting louder) (remembering it is 2025) but not like that
quick reminder that the marginalization of women is tied up with issues of racism, colonialism, capitalism, ableism, classism, imperialism, etc., and that, if you want to be a feminist, you also have to acknowledge and be dedicated to dismantling those other systems of oppression and violence
So is there any logical reason why you assholes never tell antiracist, anticolonial, anticapitalist, disability rights, anti classist, and anti-imperialist movements that the stuff they’re fighting against is tied up with the marginalisation of women and that they thus also have to acknowledge and be dedicated to dismantling patriarchy? Or are you just too chicken to tell men that they can’t dismantle those other axes of oppression and still keep exploiting and oppressing women?
ohhhh so here’s the thing. i never said any of that and also you’re a terf so i really don’t give a single fuck about your opinion. toodles <3
they deactivated. i win
