for the record:
sophialarkrose with a canada flag in their bio: "Nothing could be more pointed than the US banning The Handmaid's Tale. The US just IS The Handmaid's Tale now. No wonder they want to ban it. It's like a Selfie of them." They've quoted me posting: "This is obscene. The Handmaid's Tale was taught on curriculum lists when I was in high school in Edmonton." That post is quoting a post of a CBC news article about book bans coming into effect in Edmonton's school board - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Adding to the "well, so much for EPSB standing up for kids" news today, apparently they've also sent out a form requiring confirmation of biological sex to play on girls' teams. Yegwave is a dodgy source, but I've heard confirmation elsewhere that teachers have been told they must use this form.
Screenshot of a post to the Yegwave Instagram account showing a "fairness and safety in sport confirmation form" document on EPSB letterhead.

More of the list. It's truly shocking to realize just what this will mean.
