Because #bookediting pays crumbs, I've taken my artistic passions to Etsy. I'd appreciate it if you'd give my store a visit, like if you like, and give it a wee follow. (Currently only selling in Canada & the U.S. at this time)

Doug Ford has repeatedly promised he won't touch the Greenbelt.
Today, that promise falls flat.
The Ford government is set to allow developers build on as much as 7,400 acres of current greenbelt land in exchange of 9,400 acres of other land.

DADS ON DUTY: After a violent week of fighting at a Louisiana high school, parents knew something had to change. So, a group of dads decided to show up not just for their kids - but for the whole student body - to help maintain a positive environment. @SteveHartmanCBS has more.
Copied:
Yesterday a Native American student filmed this video in his Math class. After several minutes of the teacher “war hooping & tomahawk chopping” the student began filming because he, “felt that violence was being committed against him and he had the right to record.”
Like thousands of other fathers, retired firefighter Lee Ielpi’s life was turned upside down on 9/11. 20 years later, his mission is to teach young people about the horrors of that day and the devastation of the recovery efforts that followed. 🧵: https://t.co/IrWJcBu7E3

The synthetic leather market is growing. In 2020, it was valued at over $30 billion and one study predicts it will grow to over $40 billion in the next five years
And remember, that while residential "schools" are closed, survivors are still alive.
Canada still tears Indigenous children away from their families (at even greater rates now).
Canada still profits from land theft, assimilation and genocide.
This is not the past.
Parents of a Parkland shooting victim tricked an ex-NRA president into speaking to 3,044 empty chairs — representing child gun violence victims who would have graduated in 2021.
David Keene was told it was a rehearsal for a (fictional) high school graduation.
