@NoPantsEmma It gets EVERYWHERE! And it’s gluten, so then there’s rainbow gluten all over everything. No thanks!

@NoPantsEmma One of those adjustable beds so you’re not really laying down, but your feet can still be up? Except even that might squish poppyseed...

I am disgusted at the way the Premier treated @RosieBarton the other day. You know what isn't disgusting? Supporting local businesses by buying some of these delicious sounding doughnuts! Man, I wish I didn't have celiac.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

Support local business:
buy this doughnut! 🍩

That interview was difficult to watch. Embarrassing behavior from someone who we should be looking to for leadership.

[Uzoma Asagwara @UAsagwara]

A lot of funny jokes are being made about the Premier’s nonsense comment to @RosieBarton but I hope folks understand that he’s a bully.

He’s also a powerful role model.

Youth are paying attention.

They need to know bullying and gaslighting isn’t a joke.

The harms are real.

@PegCityLouLou @JaiMartin Your mom is famous on Twitter lol

@NoPantsEmma At least mini eggs are a “food item”, so you can still buy more. Mini eggs are essential.

How much phosphorus can a wetland filter from run-off water before it flows downstream? Scientists testing small #wetlands in Ontario are showing that it can be significant, making a difference for waterbodies like #LakeErie, where pollutants can spur blue-green algae.

Wetlands are 2nd only to rainforests in the level of biodiversity they contain! Any one species can be connected to 100s of others, including us. Here are 20 of the many species connected to North America's most common duck, the mallard.
