I wrote about my miscarriage and @CBCOttawa published it in a first person column. Feeling validated and seen as we head into a complicated weekend for us.

Read this letter to @PierrePoilievre from a young trans person. Give it a RT if you agree: Poilievre should be supporting transgender kids, not playing politics with their dignity, rights and acceptance.

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@bbardswich I’m so sorry. No mother should have to bury her child. I know there are no words, but I’m thinking of you all.

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_TranspoHelps Thank you!

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_TranspoHelps is the E1 shuttle still running between downtown and Blair during rush hour, every 10 min? And if yes, will it be doing so for the foreseeable future?

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_TranspoHelps is the E1 express shuttle still running between downtown and Blair during the morning and afternoon commutes?

[Elizabeth Renzetti @lizrenzetti]

I'm trying not to give in to rage but four people, including three children, are shot to death in an act of intimate partner violence and police say "there is no ongoing risk to public safety." Yes there damn well is a threat to public safety. https://t.co/gPCbTHgXId

@OC_TranspoHelps It’s happening again now - the 5.33/5.34 bus 30 to millennium from Blair is not coming. Is the bus no longer running regularly during rush hour?

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_TranspoHelps why did the 30 to Millennium just drive by everyone at Blair even though it was scheduled at 5.33pm? This happened a couple of weeks ago too. What’s happening??

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_TranspoHelps Thanks - would love to know if this will be a regular occurrence (eg if that bus is no longer running at that time)

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@Bp4_Canada Do you know how to spell “children”? Bc it doesn’t appear so from the hashtag you’re using. Maybe you should be the ones in school, not protesting what gets taught there.

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

THIS. The people in Canada most likely to target children are white, cis, straight family members and friends. Where are the protests against them? Oh right, it’s easier to hate a group of people you never actually interact with.

A reminder as people vilify public education and educators: schools often serve as a lifeline for kids who actually *are* abused at home. Trying to remove any confidentiality or safety a teacher can provide will put far more kids at risk. #LeaveOurKidsAlone #1MillionMarch4Chidren

[Morgan Cameron Ross @Morgan_C_Ross]

School districts all over the country are having to add security for tomorrow because of these people's plans to yell at and intimidate teachers and the kids alongside them. If you find yourself at the "lets yell at children in their classrooms" phase.. perhaps re evaluate your life.

[Charlie Harris @Charlie85915085]

#1MillionMarch4Chidren is a fascist movement

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@OC_Transpo Can we get some direct/shuttle buses from Blair to Rideau at least?

[Farrah Khan @farrahsafiakhan]

This whole thread by Dr. @tungohan. It’s not one time that gendered violence happens in academia towards professors and staff, it’s over and over again especially employees who are Black, Indigenous and racialized.

[Elizabeth Renzetti @lizrenzetti]

A lot of female academics today sharing their experiences with misogyny on campus, after the stabbings at University of Waterloo

[Fae Johnstone 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @FaeJohnstone]

I keep opening Twitter and hoping I’ll find the right words to respond to what happened at the University of Waterloo, where a man stabbed 2 students and a professor in a gender studies class.

I am at a loss. I’m scared. I’m worried.

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

Yaaaassssss

[weaponized whim$y @trinketmandrel]

I love when .@trixiemattel gets spicy and talks about real shit sometimes. Also she is vry beautiful

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

RETWEET if you are cis and know that #CisIsNotASlur.

[Kaitlin Ellen @K_Bardswich]

@FaeJohnstone One of the ones I use is that the same arguments being used against trans women were used in the past against cis lesbian women (and sometimes still are). Like, I’ve been told that lesbians are a threat to other women in women’s shelters.
