Dabbler in everything from cheesemaking to writing. Lover of Fall, the forest and lakes, the Potterverse, my garden, ivory keys, knitting, pics, and my 3 kids.

@JeffRybak Pretty sure we can critique PP's bullshit without taking a weird potshot at neurodivergent people/people with disabilities.

@HPEschools Can you link the Secondary School Calendar with semesters/exam dates for the '22-23 year? It doesn't appear to be on your website.
Families planning winter holidays need to know when exams will be happening so they can be sure their students are present. Thanks!

I was contacted by an ODSP employment provider in Ontario who asked me to help get a message out about Ford's privatization of our social services and healthcare, so they could be anonymous. It's important and will be a big thread. These are their words: #onpoli

@RulerofDingdong @GoldenRhino23 @imgrund @monkeybug78 TBF, not always. We knew our DD had learning problems since she was 2. Teachers fluffed us off for years b/c she is sweet, kind and not disruptive. Multiple major LDs, serious ADHD, and family dr now suggests ASD testing as well. She’s 11. Early interventions would have helped.

@maritadachsel Under Her Skin. And not just b/c I have work in it. It’s an amazing anthology.

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@MrBeecher The Hitman’s Bodyguard 1 & 2, Pride Prejudice and Zombies, Jumanji series, Free Guy, Shitt’s Creek ( anytime is Shitt’s time TBH)

First time signing copies of books for people! All the stars, hope to do it again.

Like dark & intense poetry? Order “Under Her Skin” - or ask your local bookshop to bring in some copies. It’s SO good, and I don’t say that just b/c my work is in there.

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@TiBachlr Definitely sounds challenging! Especially when you have to trust that the seller isn't just slapping the name you want on something else. I've seen that happen. I hope you find a good source for what you're looking for!

@teacher_ranting @tylerwatt @OntLiberal Same boat, and more than one kid. Current benefits cover nothing and psyc eds need updating every few years. Every time we get on top of things another one comes at us. Dental surgery etc and we're not even in the lowest income bracket. It's ridiculous.

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@TiBachlr Ugh. I hate that.
Do some digging though - the strains are so interbred at this point that there really aren't identifiable I/S differences in strains - people just categorize based on experience.

@ThatSavvy @MrSokkie We ate from the tree and were cursed.
LMAO

@TiBachlr I forgot to include "healthy" - but they're currently letting all the non-healthy people play real-life Hunger Games with Covid in the hopes they just don't exist anymore, or if they do, that they do it quietly from the prison of their own homes.

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@TiBachlr Rampant disgust and/or hatred for people who aren't upper middle class, CIS, White, Hetero, and preferably male?

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@howtoheretic There are no adequate words to describe how horrific this is. As if the major religions haven't harmed enough children already - they need to invent new methods. I would understand if a parent permanently canceled someone who did this to their kid.

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@MrBeecher So cool! :D It's called, "Under Her Skin," and it's available on Amazon for pre-order, and directly through Black Spot Books' publisher; https://t.co/R6iL2KpW99

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

@MrBeecher Found one of my heretical poems on display in an Amazon listing image for the anthology it's being published in next week. That was pretty darn exciting :D

[Amanda Kirby @AmazandaKirby]

Anyone else think they saw @joe_keery as a background dancer during the Dora The Explorer finale? Green jacket?

I was hoping Ricki's (Women's clothing) would have a Twitter account I could tag - but hot damn I wish they were still carrying their Tunic Tanks in colours. Those things are the foundation of my entire wardrobe, and I am not a person who can wear ⚪️ for more than 5 min.
