I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

Read this excerpt and then pick up a copy of @cciccone.bsky.social's incredible reported memoir 'Nowhere Girl : Life as a Member of ADHD’s Lost Generation'
It was in second grade that writer @cciccone.bsky.social first understood the stakes of becoming overwhelmed by her environment. As a child with undiagnosed ADHD, she tried her best to blend in among her peers, but not having the space to express herself came at a cost. thewalrus.ca/adhd-girls/

My pal @cciccone.bsky.social has a book coming out soon on women, ADHD and the impacts of late-in-life diagnosis.
I don't have ADHD and I still devoured this book because it's brilliant, heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny, and such a powerful example of misogyny in health care.
Order it!

Like many students in Ontario, my kids can't access their school library on a regular basis due to budget cuts/board decisions that were influenced by a lack of funding from the provincial government. Reading is important. Elementary schools need teacher-librarians. PLEASE VOTE. #NotFord #OntEd

I have not become completely numb; I can still be shocked by some depths of depraved sadism inflicted by this collection of despicable thugs, giggling sociopaths, and dead-eyed apparatchiks. May their days be short and frustrated.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
