Just a ginger learning SQL! (She/He/They/Them) Vintage aesthetic, modern values, disabled. Views do not reflect my employer.

I dance like an overly confident middle age white dude… probably at a wedding.

Hi, I know there's a lot to doomscroll right now, but sleep deprivation makes everything harder, including the big and small actions you can do to help people in Minneapolis. A donation to a local mutual aid organization is a quick and easy way to help.

You still deserve time to rest and recover.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.

ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

We can’t fix what we don’t measure.
Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

So higher oil production than ever last year in #Alberta. Yet the sector cut 10,000 jobs. How is oil going to save us? All I see is big business trying to get workers to do more work for less pay, and then telling us to be grateful for the work.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Because my skin cancer is on my face. I can’t hide my surgery and such. Peoples reactions have been… interesting.

However, if you’re a man, and your immediate reaction is to make a DV joke. I’m assuming you’d like to hit a woman.

mRNA vaccines like what Canada is now producing and researching thanks to the previous Liberal government under PM Trudeau and continued support from the current Liberal government under PM Carney.
This looks promising for cancer specific mRNA vaccines.

Accessibility issue you haven’t considered in your business:

Hand dryers aren’t always accessible for mobility users. A hand dryer that isn’t as strong as me blowing on my hands, isn’t drying anything. Now I have to try not to slip off my mobility device with wet hands. Which can lead to falls.

“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”

In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination

In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment

We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.

There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.

Who have needs that must be met.

Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Heads up Alberta. You only get this info if you click “preorder vaccine-order vaccines.” Found out from another friend with cancer. Not great for folks at risk.

The #AlbertaGovernment / #UCP increased registry costs w/no notice as of Oct 1. More ways to increase fees and taxes while keeping us distracted.

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time… yet most believe they’re the exception.

They think it’ll never happen to them.

That they will “try harder” their way out of it.

That we could get better if we “really wanted to”.

Health is temporary. Disability is not a moral failing.
