Immigrants are a “large proportion of the workforce, but at the bottom.”

From rising tuition to unpaid practicums, it’s difficult for immigrants and refugees to succeed in the sector, say workers and advocates.

It’s about so much more than a red dress. Dig deep. The violence against our women has been happening since colonization AKA the ravaging, stealing of lands & resources all the while stealing and pillaging our women.
We have to confront the violence at its roots and then eradicate the racism, the free for all mind sets towards Indigenous territories and bodies. Then the Justice and healing can begin.

What did I do to deserve the karma of making eye contact with an unknown someone at the other end of the coffee shop?

@CaraMcK Do it! And can I be a guest? 😬

I am excited to be in conversation with @JenessaJoyK at @Camosun tomorrow.

We will discuss the need to follow cultural protocols & employ trauma-informed journalistic practices, as well as how the concept of neutrality has been used to uphold white supremacy.

I know it's the season where I should pull out my knitting projects but based off of how badly last year's knitting experience was, I'm tempted to pass.

I didn't know J.R.R. Tolkien personally (or even exist when he was alive)...but I bet he'd hate the Rings of Power TV Show.

@CaraMcK Lost in all the emails in my inbox...feel free to help dig me out. 😂

Hold your children close. Pray a prayer of thanks they’re not in threat of being stolen from the government & sent to imprisoned houses of horrors. That u can mold them, hold them & raise them in their 1st language & culture in love. Pray 4 the ones who never had the chance 🧡

Why are all of Amazon Prime's (insanely well funded) fantasy shows BAD — but not in a fun ironic way?

Doing land acknowledgements “right” also means recognizing that land acknowledgements by themselves are not enough, @JenessaJoyK writes.

I saw a basset hound on my drive home today, so I'm taking that as a sign that today is going to be a good day.

Tried an energy drink for the first time, and I don't get why my brother was obsessed with them in high school. But I tried a sugar free one, so maybe that ruined my experience.
