More attention needs to be given to psychological IPV, especially in households with gun-owning males.
🧵 since it’s #Movember, I thought it’d be fun to post mental health stats… (courtesy of the gov of 🇨🇦)
- women are about four times more likely than men (37% versus 9%, respectively) to have ever been afraid of a partner.
- 44% of women and girls who had ever been in a relationship experienced IPV

Thank you @saltystan.bsky.social
Stronger criminal charges would work better than education to actually protect women from domestic violence!
The disposable working-class male has anger issues for sure.
Education is the answer.
Education is the answer.

With the CUPW’s decision to transition to rotating strikes, I am now able to ship via Canada Post once again. Please be aware, however, that all delivery guarantees have been suspended due to the ongoing strike action. I still have Purolator as an alternative delivery service if that is preferred.

How can you have cognitive dissonance when no cognitive processes are involved? AI may well be the ultimate in thought control!
Generative AI is ruining my motivation to teach. It is not a bold new era of information that I'm excited to see my students explore. It's a cheat that prevents them from thinking. It lets them avoid even a moment of confusion and struggle, necessary to process new ideas.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see how this might also be possibly why Matt Jeneroux chose to resign rather than cross the aisle or even vote differently than his Party members. This threatening people who don’t think the same way 💩 has to be prosecuted and have serious consequences.

A good reminder of how far voting on Party lines rather than representing constituents has come.

Thread: part of an ongoing project to erase people of color from military history:
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

What do social programs bring with them? It looks pretty obvious, and it makes sense. The more capitalist a country is, the more it fuels greed.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

I was in Germany. The Autobahn is designed for high speed driving, but when you have an accident, it's not a single, or two, or three vehicle accident. On one foggy day, there were over 200 vehicles involved, many injuries and many deaths. Just sayin'

You need to be more overt with the wins PM Carney. Conservatives are so loud right now they are drowning out the good news in the media. People need to see and hear the good stuff EVERY day.
Please meet with NDP and Green parties. They may be small in number but have loyal supporters.
