Today is the International Transgender Day of Visibility, celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of the discrimination they face worldwide #TransDayOfVisibility #inclusiveYR

[Ontario Principals' Council @OPCouncil]

Today we commemorate International Transgender Day of Visibility. It is a day to acknowledge, celebrate, support & advocate for trans and non-binary people, combatting disinformation, discrimination and hate.

I fear this will be an outrageous few days for people who didn’t pay attention in high school social studies

[Jonathan Scott @J_Scott_]

That’s excellent.

But go further. Transit should be free at the point of access for everyone. It’s a public service.

Obama notes that, because of PMJT’s stellar leadership on COVID, Canada’s per capita death rate was 40% lower than that in the U.S. ….(But you wouldn’t know that from listening to Poilievre or mainstream media, right?)

Our latest foster litter - four tiny house panthers: Raven, Shadow, Jet, and Boo. They said they were kittens but could be small bats. 😂 Available for adoption soon at https://t.co/TwbZkq6pyK

@MuellerSheWrote @ThatEricAlper We use socks for our foster kittens after their spay surgeries. How cute is that!?!

After 8 years of Trudeau, Canada is the most desirable country to inhabit in the world.

I've watched this like ten times already.

My heart is breaking over the sudden passing of our dear sweet Mopsy last night after a short illness. She was by far the sweetest bunny I've ever known, so gentle with everyone, even our foster kittens. Her sister Flopsy will miss her most of all. Rest in peace, my sweet bunny.

[Loralea Carruthers @LoraleaC]

Two of my foster kittens had their adoption fall thru at last minute so we got to spend Christmas with these 2 absolute sweethearts. If you're looking to adopt the cutest most cuddly, playful kittens, go to https://t.co/TwbZkq6pyK I can personally vouch for how adorable they are!

[Pride at Work Canada/Fierté au travail Canada @PrideatWorkCAN]

November 20th marks Trans Day of Remembrance, an important day to honour trans and gender non-conforming people who have lost their lives as a result of (systemic) violence and discrimination directed towards trans communities. 🕯️🏳️‍⚧️ #TDoR

[Justice Canada @JusticeCanadaEN]

For #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, we affirm that 2SLGBTQI+ rights are human rights. Section 15 of the #CDNCharter protects the equality rights of all people in Canada. Let’s continue to work together to address discrimination, break down barriers and create a more inclusive Canada🏳️‍⚧️

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
