So yes, of course, learning to do new things, especially creative things is important at any age but there is a real & unprecedented urgency at this time for art to make a difference & especially to have the voices of young people heard.

The world needs young people who are engaged with the world. Who speak out through art & music. Who tell the truth with art & music. Dictators throughout history have known that art is dangerous to them.

And that's why, as I said in the post, making art (of any kind) is more important than ever.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

This is American private health insurance 👇🏼

IMO, privatization of healthcare solves nothing
It just creates new financial problems for Albertans

I wonder if the UCP are speeding up their plan to privatize our healthcare now that their majority in the #ableg is threatened by the recalls

It must be obvious to most Albertans that the UCP never planned to fix healthcare
Parcelling it up into "silos" was always a way to sell it off not fix it
