    I remember the group of girls at the university dorm party that my friend and I went to at 16 with our 22 year old dates, swarming us in a protective huddle and not allowing them to talk to us for the rest of the night. Quality women, who I hope have had amazing lives.

    My anti-vax truck driver brother was forced to get his shots because his route went over the border. He didn’t try to make his problem into a supply chain problem. He put on his big boy pants and got it done. His only side effect was a paycheque.

    My daughter told me they had a full school Xmas assembly today with no air purifiers and closed doors today, so she told her teacher she was allowed to skip it as it didn’t feel safe. She told me at lunch pick up and I’m very proud of her risk assessment skills.

    I was contacted by an ODSP employment provider in Ontario who asked me to help get a message out about Ford's privatization of our social services and healthcare, so they could be anonymous. It's important and will be a big thread. These are their words: #onpoli

    They explained a lot of things to us that saved us many future experiences. So turned out well and we were thrilled to be hanging out with the girls more than the obviously gross guys who brought us. They made us call my mom too.

    The @fordnation government should be putting @ServiceOntario kiosks in libraries, community centres and city halls and paying the municipality to install them instead of inaccessible private businesses. Also, properly fund municipalities.

    If you think that’s sad, wait until you hear about how many people have died of Covid.

    I keep a pack of N95’s in my car for appointments and just gave one to the teenager who brought my curb side groceries as he was in a half ripped cloth mask. @loblawco you can afford to provide PPE to your staff. You should be held responsible for employee safety. JFC. 😒

    the only conclusion anyone can come to is -He is doing it for the kick backs and that appears to be how he operates.

    That is the whole point of puberty blockers. You give kids the time to consider their choices and prevent the need for surgical interventions later on. When you go off the blocker, puberty starts again. We should protect kids from politicians pretending they are doctors.

    When you are thinking about a #GeneralStrikeON, consider adding raising #ODSP and #OW in your list of concerns. People “live” on a lot less, are at risk for homelessness and deserve to have safety/food. They currently need all of us, pushing together to make @fordnation fix it.

    Was just told that a person on ODSP who was about to lose their funding died by suicide as they would have become homeless. Why do we do this to people? We need a guaranteed livable income right now. Every life is valuable. 😞
