The municipality is aware of the ‘Million March 4 Children’ event planned for Sept 20 at City Hall. While we recognize that people have a right to protest, we want to make it clear that we fully support our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. All are welcome here.

Queerness and transness are natural and cannot be erased.

i hope this doesn't backfire and make more people read it, especially if a bookstore offered it at a discounted price of only $15. that would be so crazy

This Welsh Not was discovered during the dismantling of Capel Pen-rhiw, which was later relocated to @StFagans_Museum.

The Welsh Not was a small piece of wood or slate inscribed with the letters 'W.N' that was worn around the neck of a child who spoke Welsh. At the end of the school day, the child wearing the Welsh Not would be punished by the schoolteacher.

This is just one example from the Memory Archive School Life collection, a collection of images that can be used for reminiscence 👇

With anti-2SLGBTQIA+ protests planned today across Canada and recent hateful actions in our province, I and the NSNDP condemn homophobia and transphobia.

The 2SLGBTQIA+ community should feel safe and supported to be their true selves, free of harassment and hate.

Does Nova Scotia still have a top doctor to give advice like this

Student housing plan from the NDP. 18 to 29 years are up for grabs and this idea is widely popular with that cohort.

Good policy and good politics IMO

What happens when you give 50 homeless people $7,500 each? They spend it on rent, clothing and food (not alcohol, drugs and smokes), a stereotype-shattering B.C. study shows, by @Brie_Charlebois https://t.co/MSnIhUMuyb via @globeandmail @jiayingzhao

I don’t think asking how 🇨🇦 healthcare can be sustainable is a useful question to ask anymore. It takes us down the rabbit hole of hyper-fixating on cutting costs while expecting more and more output. It’s extractive capitalism at its worst, but in a publicly funded, non-profit system.

Better questions,

- if we spend a dollar on healthcare, do we get a dollar of being healthy?
- are there any places where those dollars are amplified, ie - a $1 gives us a $1.50 in health?
- how much health is “enough” to have a thriving society?
- is health evenly distributed?
- how can we move the care part of healthcare back into the community and out of hospitals, etc?
- how do we incentivize providers to do tasks that lead to health, and minimize busywork that doesn’t make a difference to health?

Sure there’s lots of others.

Some of these we already know the answer to already.

Well said, Mr. Herron.

Do some people not understand that there are parents who are abusive and will physically harm and possibly kill their LGBTQ children, or does abuse just not matter when these kids are involved?

Your semi-regular reminder that nature is messy and beautiful and defies reductive characterizations: a woman with XY chromosomes gave birth to healthy twins this weekend

Premier Houston says he wants to double the size of our province as quickly as possible, but we know a housing strategy is needed to support this growth.

He promised a housing strategy in the spring, but still no sign of it. #nspoli

We know this. We knew this then. #WearingMasks

Sent to provincial health officials in Oct. 2021. Why weren't we told being a "WOMAN" is a risk factor for Long Covid? What you got to say @BruceFitchMLA? @CBCNB @TJProvincial @Global_NB @CTVAtlantic

@happystash Snippets of latest conversation: “How are you doing?” “Why did you block me on…?” “Hope you’re having a good day today.” “Thinking about you today.” “I need you.” … “Oh no hun, I’d never stalk you.”

@eaglesismyname The first time I heard about someone eating seasonally I thought “How?”. It turns out cabbage or kale salads, and coleslaw, are pretty tasty. Also: Grocery stores are predatory from top to bottom.
