@Avonelle Haaaaa. It's true, sometimes my executive dysfunction gets my house super clean because I keep getting distracted by needing to MAKE things shiny. ;)

[Phoenix Friesen @flamestoflight]

@wundergeek You are not at all too difficult to love. <3

@sexyfemmby I want to make beautiful things because they are beautiful. I hate the commodification of joy.

[Phoenix Friesen @flamestoflight]

@sexyfemmby Fucking yes to all of this. I'm changing my phrasing from "I'm bad at capitalism" to "I refuse to engage in perpetuating capitalism wherever possible".

[Phoenix Friesen @flamestoflight]

@DanielSolis On your turn, you may have to be at the theatre.

@layoffthebooks Definitely started up again for a minute.

@imLachlanHolmes It's so loud, holy crap. My kids are both struggling to fall asleep through it.

@wundergeek You are a wonderful editor and all of your comments were very helpful! :)

If you've read this far, please share and tweet your reasons why you need a 2018 sex ed curriculum, because this is an issue that affects everybody, not just people with kids. #INeedSexEdFor2018

[Ash the Stampede @wundergeek]

#INeedSexEdFor2018 because the discomfort of social conservatives does not and should not matter when what is at stake is literally the lives of young LGBTQ children. They would rather see dead queer children than live healthy queer children. @LisaThompsonMPP

[Ash the Stampede @wundergeek]

Those are just some of the many reasons #INeedSexEdFor2018 . The Ford govt's promise to "study a new curriculum" isn't good enough, because a fact-based inquiry will lead back to what we've already got. It's a stalling tactic - and the people losing out are Ontario children.

[Ash the Stampede @wundergeek]

#INeedSexEdFor2018 because, as someone for whom cyber harassment has become a fact of life, I desperately need my daughter's classmates to learn how not to harass and bully others. @LisaThompsonMPP @fordnation

[Ash the Stampede @wundergeek]

#INeedSexEdFor2018 because trans kids whose families accept them have dramatically lower rates of suicide and depression, and I want to stop the epidemic of children killed by our intolerance and hate. @LisaThompsonMPP @fordnation

[Ash the Stampede @wundergeek]

#INeedSexEdFor2018 because, as someone who grew up Catholic, when Catholic parents who object, saying they want to teach these issues themselves, what they really mean is that they want to keep their kids ignorant. @LisaThompsonMPP @fordnation
