I got sucked into an Instagram purchase recently from an overseas company posing as a local Vancouver clothing boutique. At the time they claimed to be in the "final hours of their closing sale!"...except these "final hours of their closing sale" have been going on for over a month now.

It brings me immense joy that people I encounter in professional scenarios feel comfortable enough to chat with me about their neurodivergence 🥹 I've been learning so much since I was diagnosed with ADHD in November about how my ND has actually been an asset in my professional life

as a non-Catholic who has never before cared about a pope, I am heartbroken to hear about the passing of Pope Francis, who used his statement at Easter mass to once again call for a ceasefire in Gaza

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Pope Francis. I group up alongside the Catholic Church, have Catholic godparents, and have family members who are very active in it, but have actively opposed much of the doctrine that has been previously preached that conflicts with my personal beliefs of

I joined some Conservative Facebook groups in part to troll, and in part to genuinely try and meet my fellow Canadians where they are at and find some common ground, and it was far scarier than I anticipated.

Every time I talk to fellow moms they're just...downtrodden. Like straight up on the brink of mental collapse from doing everything at home, everything at work, everything in their community, everything for their kids, while their male partners offer nothing and ask for lists. Why do they not care??

Chronic illness woe: insurance moves at the speed of slow. Guess how many of the newer migraine meds are covered? (Not enough of them)

This is what I did today 💐 I haven't felt this much unburdened joy and calm while making art since high-school. When I feel the urge to doomscroll I doodle instead and put on a podcast or Drag Race

We are only three months into the Trump regime.
We need to speak up. This is happening on our watch.

My partner is quite literally the neurotypical eye of the storm of human tornadoes - his best friend has diagnosed adhd, I have diagnosed adhd, and my kiddo is painfully like young-me-with-undiagnosed-adhd. Patience of a saint 😂

This is your daily reminder to buy Canadian, participate in local mutual aid, and vote anything but Conservative like your life and rights depend on it, because honestly we're at that point. Elbows up 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

In my limited window of the world, I think these boycotts of American products is actually working. There's gaps on the shelf in my local grocery store from folks buying up Canadian brands, and they've had to heavily discount American produce in order to get it out of the store.

My newstation tech room friend (you know our friendship is genuine because I have no idea what his actual job title is) was explaining to me what a TV news producer does on the daily, and tbh it sounds like the perfect job for someone with ADHD. We are great at juggling a million ideas with gusto!

It is wildly sick and twisted for Laken Riley's mother and sister to stand up and APPLAUD Donald, a known r@pist and misogynist. How can you applaud the type of person who causes the same type of harm that killed your loved one?

I don't think people speak often enough about the trauma of divorce. I also think a lot of women don't understand how dangerous marriage is until they get divorced. Why don't we communicate this to young girls and young women?

Had to impulsively fight back the urge to register for a beginners ballet class (my schedule does not have that flex rn) and take up wood carving (kit at Homesense) today 😅 Woops

A reminder that physical books are a lot harder to ban when they're already in your home. And a hardback or two in your purse can also double as a weapon...
Also, we welcome all your queer manuscripts here.

If anyone's looking for an easy way to reach out to their Congress folk, RESISTbot is still working. Text RESIST to 50409 or go to resist.bot and you can quickly compose an email, fax, or letter to your reps. I sent a hotly worded screed about the admin's attacks on science & got an actual reply
