The delegations from Bank Block Tenants today at Planning and Housing Committee were incredibly moving.
It soon became clear that the committee was unimpressed with Smart Living’s refusal to do the right thing.

Canada has issued new guidance for LGBTQ travellers about the risks of visiting the United States.
A spokesperson for Global Affairs confirmed to me that this comes after some states banned drag shows and restricted access to gender affirming care.

The Parental Rights movement is the rallying cry of groups like Moms For Liberty.
It’s the name of Ron DeSantis’ hateful “don’t say gay” law.
Policies implemented in the name of “parental rights” put LGBTQ kids’ lives at risk.

Integrating a nurse log into your garden can boost biodiversity and offer a natural aesthetic. Source a local healthy log, it will decay. Position in a partly-shaded, moist area. It'll act as a host for plants and critters, fostering a mini ecosystem. Be patient, nature will take its course. 🌱

Seriously, we're not talking shit to be dicks. We like the app. It's a nice app. It's got cool stuff. And cool people. It's all pretty looking and shit. I like it.
But we ALSO like not-racism. This app could be perfect if you could just focus on the not-racism.

I said 5 years ago when the teachers' strikes began, but we're at the crest of the biggest wave of labor organizing since WWII, and owners & execs can feel however the fuck they need to feel, but it's happening. The pop culture moment of actors joining in today will make this real to millions more.

Don’t you hate it when you and your staff all briefly forget how to read, then accidentally co-sign bigotry as a result??
That’s what apparently happened when Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith posed for photos at the Calgary Stampede this weekend.
