@NefariousSarah Don't know if this means I should be worried about you 🤣 but I love bangs Sarah.

@VaxHuntersBC That's a great idea. Thanks!

@VaxHuntersBC I'm confused- individuals are supposed to be notified to make their appointment correct? I know way too many people who registered and are eligible but have heard absolutely nothing.

[Telka Pesklevits @_telka_]

@NefariousSarah K I'm actually jealous.

@WilliamtCatt @j_mcelroy @richardzussman Are you aware there are areas in the US who already use DST (like Arizona)? Its not like we're starting from the ground up here.

At my vaccine appointment, the nurse asked me what category I qualify under.

I told him.

He says, “Hmm, isn’t this a French last name?”

I nod.

He says, “Huh. And you still qualify and get benefits even though you aren’t full-blooded?”

🤨🤨🤨

@reddit would love to see canes or crutches, but I'm so happy I can have a wheelchair!

[Telka Pesklevits @_telka_]

@Bitmoji funny how reddit was able to add wheelchairs to their avatars within less than a year yet bitmoji still has no option for base avatars. Y'all have been around way too long for this...

@prabhablyy I remember getting made fun of for wearing a grandpa sweater in school. I wish I still had that sweater!

I wonder how different the union conversation would be if we all learned in school that unions are the only reason we have weekends, the only reason we don't work 12 hours a day, the only reason kids aren't forced to work, and that union members fought and died for those wins

It's tempting to imagine racism as something that is restricted to hateful words and actions; but it's actually far deeper and so much more than that. #FightRacism

One silver lining during this pandemic is the loss of the Sunday scaries. The anxiety has now been spread evenly over the full week.

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Good morning to everyone who continues to denounce racism and white supremacy, no matter how angry or uncomfortable it makes some people.

[Telka Pesklevits @_telka_]

@superbeedog Me too! I was so worried!

[Pam Roach @pamelamroach]

I get asked a lot about what appropriation is. I see appropriation and erasure often appearing and acting in tandem. When you erase the fact someone exists or even COULD exist in your space, it is much easier to present their experiences or ideas as your own. 1/6

@NefariousSarah Direct, and image invoking. Exquisite work.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The sad thing about disinformation is that once the truth comes out, the damage has already been done. People have already been misled, radicalized & believe lies to a point where their hatred has brewed to violence.

That’s what led to the 6th, and it’s happening right now.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Your complete refusal to acknowledge any of the above harm, wrongdoing, or even misjudgement; & your lack of any self-reflection in how these acts contributed to yesterday’s chaos is alarming. It is unbecoming of any elected official and makes you unfit for the office you occupy.

It's a frustrating reminder that this is the representatives we've had, and who continue to have leadership here #RESIGNKENNY #corruptupc #cdnpoli
