City girl: born and bred. I get hangry.

I could write 10,000 words on this but a tweet is enough — our shitty premiers account for like 75 percent of why we can’t have nice things in this country.

They're canceling the Girl Scouts on Twitter, my time has come!

Let's talk about the Girl Scouts and the American military-industrial complex!

Exact same. Like, whoa.

The number of incredibly smart, thoughtful, engaged young people I know who are saying they’re never going to vote again. Something to pay attention to.

In 2022, while living in Tunisia as part of a JHR placement, I interviewed the cameraman who filmed Shireen Abu Akleh's murder -- as well as Palestinian journalists who knew her.

My newsroom spiked the story.

But I still have my notes, from my interviews.

Here they are.

With the RCMP announcing their investigation into the #GreenbeltScandal one has to wonder what other "deals" should be looked into. RT/💓 this tweet if you think there is more digging to do!

Your reminder that Joanne Rowling (aka Robert Galbraith, JK Rowling) decides to be a man or a woman or gender neutral whenever it’s convenient for her. 😘

People who hate Pride Nights and Pride Tape in the NHL have it totally backwards. Those initiatives aren't about how people have sex. It's about how people play HOCKEY. The tape says, "you won't hear me say a hurtful slur." It says, "this stall is safe to sit next to."

The Official Opposition @OntarioNDP has obtained an internal government briefing note on amendments that the Conservatives unilaterally made to municipal official plans in Waterloo Region, Wellington County, Guelph, Barrie, Belleville & Peterborough in April 2023.

@melon_reads @heydebigale @allieiswriting The Magnolia Sword wasn't particularly angsty - just a great retelling of Mulan. I'd add Alisha Rai's While You Were Dreaming, Rebekah Weatherspoon's Her Good Side, and for Fantasy-Rom, Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea and Sue Lynn Tan's Celestial Kingdom duology.

Vivek Ramaswany just said the quiet part out loud. Did you hear it? Are you paying attention?

35,000 evacuated in British Columbia
30,000 more on evacuation alert
20,000 in Yellowknife evacuated
26,000 evacuated in Spain.
Historic heat, historic floods, historic wildfires.

How many more signs do we need before we #ActOnClimate?

This is a specific post for those arguing for Air Canada's prices coming out of NWT. Let's rewind a bit to the pandemic in full swing. Airlines were bolstered with millions in grants and subsidized heavily to a 100% of their operating costs, courtesy of the taxpayers. Fleeing a crisis today, a life threatening situation, should cost exactly $0.00. That's my opinion and I stand by it. I don't want to spend my time explaining such recent history. Any business that heavily subsidized should be willing to assist the very people who helped them in a crisis, don't you think? Tapwe 🪶

Doug was using that personal, off the books phone to take calls from lobbyists and occasionally some smart doctors whose advice he then often ignored

The Yellowknife Women's Society chartered its own plane to get people out of harm's way as evacuation flights out of the city failed to meet demand on Thursday.

10 years ago, I worked at TVO. It was one of the best jobs I ever had. I worked w/ people who so deeply believe in an informed public.

After a decade of underfunding and erosions to wages, my friends at @TVO_CMG are on the verge of the first strike in HISTORY. Fight for them.
