Thinking about the fragility of Southern Canadians with no cellular service, and bank access.
Meanwhile in Inukjuak we haven't had septic pick up for a week, and the trucks are broken, and the town is out of diesel, on borrowed time with diesel generators for power.

Saw this man sitting by himself at a Waffle House in Midway, Florida.

So I said hello and asked him what he was doing with that money.

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

No amount of budgeting and not eating out is going to make up for the fact that we don't make enough money.

I've seen hundreds of tweets about telling women to stop having sex if they don't want to get pregnant but I've seen zero calls for men to become celibate. It will never cease to amaze me how little men are blamed for getting someone pregnant. This is about control and patriarchy

This time of year when teachers are packing up their rooms, it’s easy to see just how underfunded BC public schools are. @bctf #bctf #bced #bcpoli

@smallbone_emma @faerie_nest @1Schoolhouse He goes “cause…you’re depressed. Idk,” and I just looked at him (and the rest of the class that was watching this interaction) that my meds and stuff were the best thing that ever happened to me. Not sad AT ALL. My brain sucks and now it’s better 😊😊😊

@smallbone_emma @faerie_nest @1Schoolhouse I LOVE having a diagnosis - labels and answers are so important to me after years of being told I’m making it up. But I’m a teacher and one of my grade 10s this year saw me taking my ADs and asked about them. I said what they were and he goes, “aw that’s so sad!!” I asked, “why?”

Every child had a heartbeat before being shot dead in school. Where's that righteous pro-life outrage?
