Rising Canadian patriotism is a chance to rethink who gets to belong here
Rising Canadian patriotism is a chance to rethink who gets to belong here
Canadian patriotism has risen since Trump threatened to annex the country. However, the rhetoric and symbols of Canadian nationalism may be leaving out modern understandings of the country.

It seems that any time the UCP has an opportunity to harm the most vulnerable, they go for it - kids, seniors, addicts, homeless, disabled, poor. New Fed Gov't needs to seriously consider how they disburse funds to Alberta (for any purpose). @mark-carney.bsky.social @naheednenshi.bsky.social

i’ve been taking sips of Monster Rehab tea-lemonade since 5pm which has led me to the couch at 2am while my family, humans and felines, are asleep. i saw the full moon thru the window for the first time in ages while i did our dishes.

Pierre Poilievre’s proposals on intimate partner violence will do little to stop it
Pierre Poilievre’s proposals on intimate partner violence will do little to stop it
There is scant evidence to suggest more punitive measures will discourage violence against women. Policy-makers should instead use a balanced approach that prevents violence before it occurs.

was watching #MillionDollarSecret on #netflix and i’m really quite bothered after watching chris’s behaviour. it’s triggering in a number of ways. watching another douchey tech bro be so unapologetically misogynistic, weaponize vulnerability, attack and gaslight under pressure + the tinge of racism.

i bought myself new clothes today.
black leggings — what i lived in pre-baby but none of my old pairs fit — and a bright pink sweatshirt. i’d planned to spend as much of my surprise tax return on my daughter as i could. but instead i met my own needs first, and now im working through that guilt. 🧵

Don't get played by Pierre
We get it. Things are broken and life feels impossible. And now Pierre Poilievre is running a slick comms campaign to try to convince us that he’s going to fix things.
But we know a Conservative gove...

i went grocery shopping yesterday (which feels like a very long time ago now)
and it took 3 hours… not because i was reading all the labels but because i was trying to follow a list, written in pen on paper, still a bit anxious on my own & baseline exhausted from being a first-time parent
