im sorry i love you guys but i cannot participate in the campaign to rehabilitate tom cruise's reputation. i get that he is an old man who does his own stunts but he's also a cultist who has enabled decades of abuse, harassment, and extortion so idk the vibes ain't vibing

What if we all took out personal loans to pay off our student loans and then filed for bankruptcy, plummeting credit scores & disrupting the credit system so they had to bail everybody out & put our credit scores at 700 so ppl could buy things or get rid of credit all together

Didn't know if I should share this but
My 32 yr old neighbor who is disabled, not terminal, died via MAiD.
His family had no idea.
This is what happens when people are unable to access adequate supports 💔

The Glastonbury crowd filling in for Lewis Capaldi when he needed help was such a beautiful moment. Anyone saying “it was heartbreaking” or “he shouldn’t have gone on” is seriously missing the point. Disability is not a bad thing to be hidden. It exists alongside success and joy.

A proud and historic moment to have tabled PEI's first Anti-Racism Acrion Plan and establish its first Anti-Racism Offfice. I look forward to working towards each action item and addressing racism in PEI.

"The percentage of children living in food-insecure households was highest in P.E.I, where over a third of children (35.1%) are affected by some level of food insecurity."
Shameful, shameful, shameful. #peipoli
🚨 Today's release of new data from the Canadian Income Survey provides a look at food insecurity across the ten provinces in 2022.

It just clicked for me why a lot of disabled ppl rolled up our sleeves and said "what's next" while nondisabled ppl couldn't stop trying to "go back". Many disabled folks have had to adjust -- sometimes repeatedly -- to a new normal without the option to "get back" to an old one.

It is said that autistic people don’t get sarcasm. I can only speak for myself, but I: understand the concept of sarcasm; am naturally sarcastic; and am good at being sarcastic, yet I can find it hard to register others’ sarcasm at times, if their delivery is too succinct for me.

Trans people in 🇨🇦 are scared. Terrified. Hate is rising and no one is doing anything about it.
Y’all wanna pretend “Canada is different”, but we aren’t.
We’re seeing what’s happening in the US. We’re seeing the warning signs of the same here. But no one is listening.

"Replicating pay gaps from the private sector is not only a loss for those workers and a loss to the economy, it is a step towards a less equitable society."

I am on strike from work.
It is my first time being on strike and my second day. I am one of over 100k public servants in Canada currently on the picket lines. Like seemingly everything in today's society, people have polarized opinions about this. /1

Why do I support the #PSACstrike?
➡️ Many jobs held by PSAC workers are considered pink collared work;
➡️ A large number of PSAC employees are women and are in positions that hover between 30-60k;
➡️ At a minimum, we all deserve to have our wages match inflation.

BREAKING: PSAC says it'll be providing an update on labour negotiations at 9:15 p.m., 15 minutes after their self-imposed general strike deadline.

Jonathan Majors completely ruined Creed momentum. David Choe messing up stuff for Beef. The moral of the story is stop giving abusive men passes because they take everybody down with them. We are living in a new day folks will pull their support.
