1. The Canadian Parliament's voted on two bills that would attempt to limit abortion in some form over the past six years. One motion was supported by 68% of sitting Conservative MPs, and the other by 96% of Conservative MPs.

Let's talk about those bills:

@kateatherley I'm late to the party, but this place https://t.co/ntW7NHVWfA has a bunch that is non SW, but I don't know if there's any that has nylon. Good luck in your search!

@kateatherley I probably won't even hear of it 'cause I don't follow trends or trendy designers. I like knitting resources and designers that are good and clear: like you!😍 (And always talk you up to my knitting friends)

Hey, men who are with women. Ever say things like…

“Have you seen the …”
“Tell me what to do and I’ll do it”
“But I do so much around here”
“Why didn’t you ask me to do it?”
“I do more than my friends”
“Let me know if I can help”

Then let’s talk about mental load. 1/

@ruhee_ At least you had warning... I was feeling good about living in BC until they told us March 10 that we didn't need to wear masks THE NEXT DAY! 😱😠Good luck to everyone. I'm staying home or outside as much as possible.

@jjhorgan One wonders why the government didn't give the people the option of staying on Standard time year-round in that referendum. It's the best choice backed by science. Isn't that what they've been saying is guiding their decisions for the past 2 years?

Y'all know I don't post much (or at all), but this is my daughter and I will go to extraordinary lengths to help my children, especially if they're in crisis❤: I'm raising money for "Help Laurie Fight Stage 4 Colon Cancer. Click to Donate: https://t.co/bMpaUNpPka #GoFundMe

@kateatherley That looks fabulous! Enquiring minds need to know: where do you find treadle, what kind of syrup? (Will maple do?) And what is considered a "slow oven"? (In case I want to try your mother's recipe.😉

[Heather Johnston @Tealover67]

@kateatherley @norm @EtobHumaneSoc Congratulations! My family just got a new puppy from a rescue, too!😍 They certainly add a certain something to the household, don't they? (Chaos, maybe?😉 Love, certainly!❤)

@knittymag Beautiful! I knew a lovely dog named Skye, once.😍

[Heather Johnston @Tealover67]

@knittymag That's terrible. So many people get away with being horrible people especially if they are among the group that is in the position of privilege...😔

[Heather Johnston @Tealover67]

@knittymag Oh! Whoops! 😳 I can't believe I didn't know that! Then no... not Coco for chanel. Maybe cocoa?😬

[Heather Johnston @Tealover67]

@knittymag Coco? For Coco chanel. Or the drink. Or the Disney movie.😊

@RomiDesigns If *he* wanted to wear that, I assume you would be fine with it. (Of course, a shawl would still go well with all those things!😂) But if *you* are making him wear it, then that would be doing exactly what these women are accusing you of doing.🙄

I am thinking of our history on #CanadaDay.

I think of my granny’s words.

She talked about the Potlatch—our system of government—about how our people maintained it even after it was outlawed through the federal Indian Act. … (1/5🧵)

[Heather Johnston @Tealover67]

@kateatherley @carolinesews Yeah, but it says that it was his own design...🙄
