Rub some dirt on it. (She/Her)

The fight for $15 has been happening for so long that the living wage is now $24 an hour, which is why the answer is for workers to take control of the companies not endlessly ask a Congress of millionaires to do something they refuse to do.

The province of Alberta has always hated gay people. My home has always hated me. I've tried really, really hard to not hate it back but it feels impossible.

I feel sick to my stomach.

What if cats don't like having their toe beans touched because they're ticklish 🥺

If homeless individuals were building shelters out of wood in front of the house of commons, they wouldn’t get so far as putting up a single wall. They would be removed by the authorities.

Some old guy at the bar just asked me if I ever "puff the weed". Boomer bars are a different world.

How do we make sense of what’s happening in Canada today?

Political science offers at least four, overlapping lenses:
1) status threat,
2) losers’ consent,
3) tribalism, and
4) the paradox of tolerance. 🧵

Please understand that pointing to the lack of police violence against the convoy protesters is not a call for violence. It's pointing out that the absence of police violence is possible and should be expected when protesting, especially for Black and Indigenous communities.

Hey folks. Stop saying “this isn’t Canada” it IS Canada. It’s Canadians. Doing this in Canada. At our capital.

Just drove by swastika flags in my neighborhood in case you were wondering whose *freedom" is being"fought for" today.

i’ve felt permanently guilty for no reason since i was like 9 years old

If the federal government swooped up and overturned laws set up by the individual provinces on anything else the same convoy would be screaming about tyranny and authoritarianism. But they're demanding government overreach for things they want personally.

[dirtqueen15 @dirtqueen15]

I wonder how many people in the truck convoy whine about pride parades. How many of them screaming about freedom would shrug their shoulders or even laugh if gay marriage was made illegal.

@MWC314 @EdmontonOilers Jesus. I already avoid the bars where all these rich pretty boys drink at but I think I'm gonna increase my "do not enter" radius 😬

@EdmontonOilers Whenever he has a bad game we all just know that it will be because he bet on the Oilers to lose 😂😂😂

my question about NFT apes… have people never seen anything before?

[dirtqueen15 @dirtqueen15]

@SoupVessel I think that's a fair assessment! I'm still holding out a sliver of hope that the organization can progress, but your scenario is far more likely.

[dirtqueen15 @dirtqueen15]

Don't be shocked if 15 years from now, when Evander Kane is washed up and completely broke, he ends up murdering a woman he's in a relationship. This is almost always how abuse ends. His name will end up as an ugly stain on the NHL.

54 Albertans died from covid the last 4 days, Muslim women are still being assaulted in Edmonton and 93 unmarked graves have been located at a BC residential school, so forgive me if I’ve stopped caring about the fucking trucker convoy and the lying politicians supporting it.
