@lizgallo@shishito6ix This was my “if I say this out loud I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy nut” pet theory too! But it would allow her to put some distance between herself and an increasingly “unpopular” leader that she’s been closely associated with for a long time.
Two takeaways re: Gisele Pélicot case
1 - Her age, what she was wearing, how much she'd had to drink didn't matter, these have NEVER mattered, they're just used to blame victims.
2 - There are 50+ men in your neighbourhood that would rape your unconscious body. Yes, all of you.
@tallowmom @Mutant187 GUYS, she said NO JUDGEMENT, so clearly she’s not judging anyone , and any feelings of judgement are invalid. Just like nothing offensive has ever been preceded by the statement “NO OFFENCE” and you’re definitely not allowed to be offended. 🥸

I teach in AB. Today we made class lists for Sept, & there will be 34-35 students in each class. We were also told that our school will lose half of our educational assistants in Sept. This is the UCP effect on K-12 Ed. I honestly can’t believe people voted for this sh*t.

One of the elders on our reserve shared @ 5-6 years of age, he had to help dig graves @ Blue Quills Residential School. Others saw new born babies being put in the broiler furnace alive - babies created by priests raping girls. Nuns were found to be on birth control.
While in prison, I made strides in personal growth while simultaneously adopting maladaptive survival strategies. The path is neither singular nor linear.
From a talk I gave for the Boundless Freedom Project.
Hey @ianhanomansing and @checkupcbc there are a few things I wanted to address about the recent episode on private healthcare clinics. I called in and went through screening, but unfortunately didn’t make it onto the show.

@LouisatheLast Just make sure they don't try to stick you in a red uniform 🤓🚀
Last thing I watched was Strange World which honestly I think would be fantastic.
