It’s human nature to desire wealth/privilege (resources). One example is we all get old or sick at some point and want to be able to survive w/o working, etc.

It is pathologic, antisocial behavior to hoard excess resources while watching others suffer for lack of.

This is what ethical practice looks like.

Because I care about your mental health, I want you to have a good belly laugh at this headline.

You're welcome. 🫶🏾

If you organize full-day for-fee tainings it is extremely poor taste to not offer accomodation for dietary restrictions. Would you offer training in an inaccessible building?

A US judge has blocked federal prison officials from transferring a trans woman to a men's facility (in compliance with Trump's executive order)and denying her access to gender-affirming care which she has been receiving since her teens. 👏🏾

Friendly reminder for Canadians: Jean Chretien was the PM who launched a nationwide series of consultations with First Nations communities in response to the Hawthorne report, then ignored all of it and issued The White Paper.

He's no hero.

So, he definitively responded "no" when asked about ousting the currently serving MPs who intentionally met with a known Nazi-sympathizer who was there to support the Convoy - but, is very concerned about the soon to be former PM wearing blackface 30 years ago...

Ok, cool.

CrossFit has banned trans athletes from competing under their identified gender. No statement was made - no larger community discussion was had - the community learned about the change when reading the 2025 CrossFit Games rule book, released January 10th.

We are living in an unbearable timeline.

I use an app called Happy Cow to help me identify vegan restaurants/cafes when I'm in unfamiliar areas since I'm new to my dietary limitations. I logged in today to check my options in a new area and learned it has a DM feature. The DM was from a self identified "recently divorced vegan dad". 1/2

Texas has legislated SA. They meant to target trans folks but this will harm everyone.
HR 28, the bill to require genital inspections in women's sports, passes with just two Democratic votes.

DOA in the Senate. #HoldTheLine

You may recall that last year, I had to file a complaint with the Equity, Diversity, & Human Rights department at my University against my Developmental Disabilities prof. My rep followed up today to share that the professor has taken numerous training courses, and her course has been revamped. 1/2

I just saw a job post that requires a BA in neuroscience plus a MA, and certification in neurofeedback, that pays $20 Canadian per hour.

HAVE YOU ALL LOST YOUR DAMN MIND.

I've decided not to cook dinner tonight. I haven't told my family because it's not a job I applied for - I just ended up with it somehow. At some point they'll come to me as I read my book on the sofa and say "I'm hungry", to which I'll respond "same, bro."

I feel like they should bring back Silicon Valley for 2 more seasons because the CEO of "Pied Piper" clearly just experienced a character arc.

Excellent coverage of the Montana hearing yesterday. Be sure to follow Erin if you don't already. 🏳️‍⚧️
Happening now, the first anti-trans hearing of 2025 in the United States.

HB121 in Montana is a full adult bathroom ban in publicly owned buildings. It targets all trans adults and the trans reps Zooey Zephyr/SJ Howell.

I am covering it live. Watch with me:

Anti-trans bathroom bills do exactly what we expect them to. They don't protect cis women and they put trans people at greater risk of violence and death. This doesn't even consider additional layers of harm when we normalize "genital checking".
Shawn: "These bills in other states have not resulted in lower rates of violence towards women. However, it has increased violence to tarns people. This has actually resulted in people's death."

John A.Macdonald was a white supremacist who believed in the superiority of the "Aryan race". He was considered extreme even for the time period (often shocking other members of Parliament) and forcibly starved Indigenous children to death

👋🏾 Woman here.

This is not our lived experience. Particularly those of us with a history of chronic pain. We are flagged as pill chasers or that we are exaggerating our symptoms. Medical misogyny is not rare.

Tonight's meal from this book was maple roasted squash & chickpeas with a pistachio mint & cilantro sauce over quinoa. It took me, an experienced/competent cook 1.5 hrs to make. This is NOT SUSTAINABLE. I have one more meal in my weekly plan, then I'm donating this book (Obviously to someone I hate)

If only it mattered.
It's official: Trump is now a convicted felon.

He will be the first president to enter office as a convicted felon.
