It’s a little difficult to talk about proximity to fear in the wake of a horror like the shooting in Christchurch, but imma share with you a few thoughts here in a thread.

I move that we cease all editorial cartoons on this story until we get some better cartoonists.

[Rob @robrousseau]

one side wants to demonize & marginalize immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, trans people, people of colour & the poor, pointlessly transferring wealth upward while steering us towards environmental apocalypse. the other side is opposed to these things. such polarization!

Take a moment to let this sink in. 5 million women in the Indian state of Kerala formed a human chain 620km long to protest the centuries old ban on menstruating age women entering a Hindu temple. Yesterday, two women entered it. #WomenWallKerala 1/

More and more, men have to recognize their role in ending VAW. It's critical to call other men out, educate men, and teach consent. Men, keen to see you step up. @OCTEVAW @MediaActionCA @WendyHovdestad

“Harry’s message was that the monuments of progress – the hospitals and schools and social safety net – were not permanent and inevitable. They’d been fought for and built by men and women, in living memory, and they were under threat.” https://t.co/KqBrkhuuEm

It’s costs me absolutely nothing to respect someone’s gender identity but it means the world to the transgender community.

Rejecting gender identity is petty & cruel. It is bullying on an official policy scale & I find it repugnant.

New research shows that forced sterilization of Indigenous women is not just a shameful part of Canadian history, it is a current practice. Reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the territories suggest it is still happening. https://t.co/OfmE2ZePB8

“I get to be a role model that I never had,” says @Lyra_evans_ott, believed to be the first openly transgender school board trustee in Ontario, possibly even Canada #cdnpoli #onpoli

"If you've never had to think about this before, you're privileged. And the problem with privilege is that it is often invisible. It is easy to ignore things that don't directly impact your life. But It's time to take the blinders off."
