Indigenous title claims to this land have never been about tearing our communities apart - be discerning with anyone who wishes to frame the conversation around this land claim that way. They are either uninformed and need reassurance, or are misleading to play on your fear.

“Let me speak directly to regular New Brunswickers: The Wolastoqey Nation has never had an interest in evicting regular New Brunswickers from their homes or their farms - we know that you or your forebears paid value for your land,” said Pilick Chief Gabriel Atwin,

@Adam_SJFPL it's dystopic in a "idk whether to laugh or cry" way which is on brand

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@anxiouscatmom @CasualCognition yes, it's a supposetory iirc. I used it for my second IUD insertion and I think it helped!

@MxEvilBee Meanwhile, what they're really saying is "I wish my trans ex was dead, and I demand sympathy for that."

@freakyfoodcdn @NicoleMac19 He also said it was "trendy," talked about "bone density scans" for kids on "hormones," & said some unidentified "European countries" are revisiting all this.

Meanwhile, the matter before the house was a *school inclusion policy*

@KatHennessy01 @littlepada1 Also, note in particular the repeated use of the word "responsibilities", not "rights." Parents have responsibilities - including, for example, the upholding of their children's rights.

@allengamble26 @Esqueer_ Did they happily do that on-demand to any adult who decided to harass your brother at the game, or is that only reasonable when some rando decides the kid might be trans and decides to make thay everyones problem..?

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@Patti_Rockgirl @rickeyru @dondarlingSJ Lol @ the person in your replies unironically citing Matt Walsh's ""documentary"" like it's some kind of groundbreaking revelation. The quality of this so-called "debate" is sorely lacking.

@Arkout3 @islanders_fan @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews you folks really just say stuff, huh?

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@triggerman3131 @WpgSpidey @islanders_fan @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews well shit, if everyone you know believes it, it must be true!

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@triggerman3131 @WpgSpidey @islanders_fan @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews that's an interesting opinion.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@islanders_fan @WpgSpidey @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews Interesting goalpost change, but ok:
People are people; vehicles are vehicles. This isn't complicated. The same arguments from the 90s about gay people marrying animals have been repackaged for trans folks in the 2020s, but you don't have to repeat them with your whole chest.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@islanders_fan @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews I'm not comparing anything :) I'm responding to the blanket statement that anyone under 16 requires parental consent for *literally everything.*

But yes, gender affirming care & spaces are proven determinants for better health outcomes.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@nb_covid_info Hooray! Hopefully mine is waiting for me when I get home 🤩

[Aaron Collins @masknerd]

I got a few questions about masks you can sing in, for choirs and churches. I think the 3M 9105 and 9105S(small) are a great option due to the duckbill, and super breathablity.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@NurseRatchetM6K @JoelJohannesen @CTVNews In NB we have the Medical Consent of Minors Act which allows this to be taken on a case-by-case basis under 16.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@JoelJohannesen @CTVNews Sorry, that's not true! One example: see the Medical Consent of Minors Act. Hope that helps.

[Amber 🐱🐝 Chisholm @Weakshine]

@staplemusical Fun fact: I'm not aware of any specific "Charter right" to so-called "single sex spaces"
