An overdue day. I am so so SO happy to go to my next donation with this in place! A massive thank you to advocates who have worked towards this day for many years!!!

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

Health Canada has authorized Canadian Blood Services to 'eliminate the current three-month blanket donor deferral period for all sexually active men who have sex with men, and instead screen all donors, regardless of gender or sexuality, for high-risk sexual behaviours.' Release:

Words that are beyond overdue!! "Sexual behaviour, not sexual orientation, determines risk of sexual transmission of HIV. Our proposed criteria will aim to ... identify those who may have a transfusion-transmissible infection, ... regardless of gender or sexual orientation"

Another year around the sun and geez, it was a strange/tough one! But today, grateful for good health, the loveliest & most supportive friends and family, the fact that the New Yorker now has a crossword, and Broadhead’s Blueberry Blonde. And the hammock. 10/10 purchase there.

[Marguerite Gollish @m_gollish]

Heard so many great things about this training! I'm super excited for the one tonight that I signed up for, come join me! (Cameras off and muted, so no pressure there)

THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID.

Last week, the remains of 215 children were found at a former residential school. They were all victims of racism.

A few days ago, 4 people were murdered in yet another act of racism.

Keep reading. (1/10)

Michelle Good was as wonderful to listen to as her words were to read. Her book is an unflinching look at the lives of those who attended, survived, and died at residential schools. Glad to see it awarded, and highly recommend it - a heartrending, necessary read, now and forever

“Those babies were just found this past weekend. This is now. This is not something that happened a long time ago…to call it history is simply wrong.” Grateful to talk to Michelle Good (@Creeborn) this morning. Listen here:
