For many in Alberta’s 2SLGBTQ+ community, it doesn’t feel like a very happy Pride Month.

You’re hurting. You’re worried.

But please know this. You’re not alone. You matter. We see you. We love you.

And we’re here for you and we won’t ever stop fighting for you.

June is Pride Month, and although most of Edmonton’s Pride festivities are happening in August this year, the city is already feeling that Pride spirit! 🌈

Pride is more than just a celebration, Pride is a protest that was initiated by Black trans women to inspire a rallying cry for equity and liberation that sparked revolution amongst the entire 2SLGBTQIA+ global community.

I acknowledge that many queer and gender diverse folks are still engaged in this freedom fight as their rights are being threatened worldwide, and as allies, we must stand with the community to denounce hate and build a more accepting and inclusive Edmonton for all of us. ✊🏽 #YEG #Pride2023

The Owl House is the most wonderful cartoon I’ve ever seen. It’s going to be one of my favourite things forever. Thank you @DanaTerrace!

BREAKING NEWS:
St. Albert School Board has unanimously approved a new optional locally developed junior high course on 2SLGBTQIA+ perspectives.

This may well be the very first 2SLGBTQIA+ course developed and offered in Alberta's history. A truly ground-breaking moment! 🤩#abed

Using two telescopes and over 280,000 individual photos, I captured my most detailed image of our moon. The full size is over a gigapixel. Trust me, you’ll want to zoom in on this one.

This day in 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only Prime Minister to be assassinated. It's the LEAST interesting thing about him.

With his frenemy James Stephen he engineered one of the first bans on slavery in British territory. And he did it WITHOUT parliamentary approval /1 🧵

@SwiftOnSecurity I feel like CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL and whatever other early internet walled gardens I’m forgetting about all tried some kind of virtual shopping mall.

today i was down, so i walked three miles home, and on the way back i tried to find enough colourful things to make a rainbow. it's a good trick, it makes you look for small good things, and then you're glad when you find them.

Thinking a lot today about Kitty Genovese, a lesbian from Brooklyn, whose brutal and senseless murder by a stranger was twisted and exploited to push a racist, anti-urbanist, and factually-incorrect narrative that has shaped the last 50+ years of American history. ❤️🧡🤍💜

So you're sailing off the French coast and you lose your rudder. You radio in a distress call and it's acknowledged. Someone is coming! You breathe a sigh of relief...

Anyone from The Seven can come play, and Emily, and Jasmine.

My notes to the set designers will be “corporate religious iconography”.

Now they say things like:

- "I want a company that values my work, and pays on time. That's it!"

- "We don't need to plant trees and take photos together. Those activities I prefer doing with my kids."

- "If a company describes as a family, it's a red flag for me"
