    A few of us were reminiscing about the good old days of Twitter 🥹 …which reminded me to share that I’m rarely posting here. I’m most active on Instagram, so follow me there! For inquiries, please email the address in my Linktree, as I won’t see DMs.

    I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we’re still in a pandemic. It’s ok if you’re not yet comfortable in crowds. It’s ok if you say no to things. It’s ok if you feel anxious. It’s ok if you need to rest. Your feelings are valid. And don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

    Don’t you dare bring up AIDS in your COVID comments, @jkenney, and pretend you’re some sort of human rights defender. We know your record on that. You fought to keep gay people from visiting their dying partners in hospital. Stop.

    To the person who insisted on commenting on my gender multiple times as I walked to the Legislature. I heard you, as I know you wanted me to. I thank you for reminding me just how important it is I keep fighting for LGBTQ2S+ kids so they don’t have to deal with this shit.

    Amarjeet and Jyoti elected as mayors of our two biggest cities? That’s a pretty cool thing, Alberta. Well done. 🔥

    Good morning to everyone who continues to denounce racism and white supremacy, no matter how angry or uncomfortable it makes some people.

    You better believe that I will criticize Jason Kenney on his lack of leadership and poor policy decisions. But I won’t comment on his personal life or his appearance. I get enough of that shit and it’s just so unnecessary. So please, just stop.

    Don Cherry is fired, so we can all feel loving and welcoming again! Nope. He was just a visible racist with a platform. Racism persists across this country. That guy at the coffee shop, your racist uncle, the angry lady online. Wherever you see it, call it out. Every time.

    I too have many opinions on the Pope’s visit. I don’t need to share them. Fellow settlers, it’s not about us. Amplify Indigenous voices. Give space to survivors. Take a step back. Learn.

    The only reason @jkenney is addressing the fact that his MLAs are travelling internationally is because they got caught. There’s not a shred of honesty left with this man or his team. And he’s hoping we’ll forget this in 2023. I won’t. Healthcare workers won’t. Will you? #ableg
