Every time a genocide is threatened or carried out we should treat it with earth-stopping severity rather than normalizing it against past genocides.
That still means teaching & learning about past ones — all the more so to ensure appropriate reaction.
Yesterday’s response was a good sign.

We don't have to treat sexual harassment in public spaces as an inevitability.
Bystanders *can* intervene and change the narrative.
Join me this Int'l Anti-Street Harassment Week for a FREE training!
Open to anyone, anywhere. Cameras/mics off, so very chill!

Ugh….i hate bacon. Another reason to not eat it! Although colon cancer can occur regardless of diet, and my genetics make me more susceptible to it. Sigh…..
If you’re in Calgary, Canada, it was the shady tactics of those fighting smart, responsible infill housing policy that first inspired me to pull back the curtains on “The Populist Playbook.” That infill policy is being discussed by City Council again, I hear. Don’t fall for the Playbook, Calgary.
You can oppose supervised consumption sites.
Just be honest:
you’re accepting that more people will die.
BREAKING: Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion who became an action star in the hit series 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' has died at the age of 86.

It’s a privilege to drive. Not a right.
#yyc drivers should check themselves before getting behind the wheel.
I don’t claim to be a perfect driver and I do make mistakes, but I know my privilege can be taken away at any time. So I’m a cautious and respectful driver. IMO.
She visibly SIGHED and HUFFED at me! As if I was the problem.
It seems that #yyc drivers have an attitude problem. With all the recent hit and runs, and pedestrian deaths, you’d think drivers would get the message. Today I stared down a driver attempting to cross in front of me while I was in the marked crosswalk.

Rakhi Pancholi made it very clear today…
She believes that Smith’s rhetoric is absolutely fueling racism and bigotry in Alberta and called out her failure to condemn Bruce McAllisters recent bigoted comments.

Honourable @evansolomon.bsky.social - my question to you is why isn't the GoC considering banning X considering the harm that platform is doing and the obvious We-Don't-Give-A-Shit attitude of its owner?
Let's get this trending, people! #BanX #BanGrok

On one hand I’m worried about the snacks cabinet and on the other hand I’m worried about WW3. I don’t even have hands
Terms I'd like the media to leave behind in 2025 :
"non-consensual sex" (It's rape. You mean rape, so say that. We don't call bar fights 'non-consensual boxing' for a reason!)
"underage girls" (Girls are a category on their own. If you mean girl, say girl. If you mean woman, say woman.)
I wonder how many other national sport organizations will follow Skate Canada's lead. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
