I still gotta pay a few bills to cover so if you can, order something cute for yourself or a friend. I got mini zines, stickers, art and notebooks! Anything is appreciated. 💕 Order here: https://t.co/EKgSC3S8y0
It has been really really hard working at the LCBO since the pandemic was announced. As the days pass, people are becoming more angry, more impatient, more rude, and more ignorant. We're already risking our health to serve you, do us a favour and BE KIND. Please send good vibes.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has inhabited present day MA & RI for 12,000+ years. They have 2,600 citizens (some below).

This cannot stand. #StandWithMashpee

Wow, the U.S. just became the only nation in the UN to vote against a resolution that aims to stop violence against women and girls. The reason? Because the language included “sexual and reproductive health.”
130 nations voted in favor. https://t.co/C6Dn8sHY0a
I’m ridiculously happy about the random mix coming out of iTunes (or whatever the fuck it’s called now) today… also the stream of students walking past in early-winter-mid-finals wear is bringing the color. Now, back to billing while I wait for my next session to start.
