Earth is conditionally renewable. It can recover if we stop breaking it faster than it can heal. If we do not, the planet will go on, but the world we depend on may not. #SaveOurPlanet #ClimateChange

Because I ran out of characters in the post above, here's another root cause:
Wages that have not kept pace with inflation for the past 50 years.
We need federal Living Wage legislation. And UBI.

We’re launching the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit. That’s going to put hundreds of dollars more into the bank accounts of over twelve million Canadians, starting this year.

#ICE isn’t about immigration. It’s intimidation. It exists to remind people that the state has the power & resistance will be punished, even if you’re a citizen. This isn’t border security. It’s fear as policy. When a gov't uses force to silence dissent & enforce obedience, it’s #fascism.

The snowstorm has picked up and it’s a full blizzard this evening. If you can, please stay home. If you do need to go out, stay safe, drive slowly, and make sure you’re bundled up. ❄️ #snowstorm

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

IMO, someone should compile a clear video of the critical moments of this interaction, viewed from multiple angles: Pretti was filming from afar, he was approached by agents, he helped a woman who was pushed to the ground, he was attacked in the face with pepper spray, and then he was shot.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

The news today is ugly & demoralizing. I’m scared for the good, decent people in the USA.
We’re in a snowstorm, my husband is recovering from a serious hospital stay, my sister’s dog is very sick, and it’s only January. Something has to give. I’m beyond my limit for bad news and bad luck. #hope

Hope everyone is ready for the 40 cm of snow expected inthe GTA on Sunday. Please stay safe and warm, and if you have a heart condition, avoid shoveling snow, as it can be dangerous. #snowstorm #January2026

Thank you to the kind soul who sent a package from my Amazon Wishlist. You have no idea how much it means right now. January has been incredibly hard health wise. My husband has been in the hospital since Tuesday and still needs care. Your gift will truly help us. #Grateful #ThankYou #MutualAid

Finally managed to get a taxi and made it home at 5:15 am. Spending the whole day at the hospital without eating or sleeping is completely exhausting. I am going to rest for a bit before heading back out into the snow today to return to Trillium and be by my husband’s side.

Stuck at the hospital. No taxis available to pick me up in this snowstorm. Hubby has been admitted to hospital with a severe cellulitis infection. No idea when I'm getting home.

Housing & stable income are the real answers.
If we truly want to see an end to homelessness & poverty, we must address the 2 basic foundations every person needs to function in society. A safe place to live & enough $ to survive.

If you still support Trump and if you support the actions ICE has been taking, then I need to be honest with you. Those choices reflect a lack of basic decency & compassion. This is not what being a good person looks like.

My husband is disabled & receives provincial disability support. I was forced to leave my job in 2009 so I could care for him. Since then, I have provided constant, essential care with no income of my own.

#Fact In todays world, there are 3 ways you can look like. Young, old, or surgical. The first 2 are perfectly fine. The last one depends on how much $ you spent and whether your eyebrows now live somewhere near your hairline. #StayNatural #AgingWithGtace

#Facts Women often push through weekends & holidays without ever slowing down. Champion real self care & give ourselves long, nourishing rest. No one should have to reach exhaustion before taking a break. Let go of the unspoken pressures and honor rest with zero guilt, shame or fear. #Rest #Women

Christmas baking/cooking has begun!
Today I made a traditional French Canadian delicacy called Cretons. You spread it on crackers or bread with a bit of mustard. (5 jars in the background).
I also made Christmas Crack!
Happy holiday baking my friends. #Christmas2025 #HolidayBaking 🎄 🎅 🎁
