Australian girl in Canada. Left handed, Maths teacher, atheist Jew, Lego fan, geocacher. I believe in public education and that we should all be outdoors a lot. Like right now. (They call that 'touching grass') 2+2=4

And they probably mostly live in Eby’s riding.

I’m so tired and I can’t even vote in this election

Here’s yet another thing they could have done without needing an election to do it. And another fun fact: this guy’s riding is one of the wealthiest in the province.

I've seen plenty of evidence of their activity but still after 29 years in Canada, I've never actually seen one!

Totally agree.

Spotted Dove
Spilopelia chinensis

I love Merlin! I’ve been using it here in Melbourne and it’s given me a a whole new set of birds. 🙌

We also can’t afford an unnecessary election.

We could devote a day at school to proper education. That’s kind of the job of schools, right?

I completely agree.

That should never be made into a 4 day long weekend imo but I have different feelings about that day. It should also be used for learning, like T&R day. What are your views?

And nor should it be a public holiday, for the same reason

Another fun fact: the mushroom poisoner, Erin Patterson, claims she bought her mushrooms from an Asian grocer here. The things that put my home suburb on the map are seldom great.

It’s 10:30am Sunday morning and Victorian police are checking for drunk drivers.
Two police cars and several police officers with gloves on are stopping cars both directions on a road

No one in the NDP gaf about your riding. Your neighbourhood would vote for a rubber boot, provided it was draped in NDP colours. They don’t have to try and so they won’t. They are holding an election during the period of mourning for their own member? It’s so grotesque.

I have no moral high ground to protest those I disagree with when those on my side are just as craven - and worse - treat their supporters as fucking idiots.

It’s not a coincidence that it is a mostly female job and yet teachers get blamed for the decisions of those higher up. I see it through my lens of feminism also.

Jacqueline @cuddlefishj.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I am deeply grateful to my union. They aren’t perfect, but at least they don’t forget their mandate is to support teachers who are relentlessly attacked for things completely out of their control. Curriculum is absolutely outside the control of teachers. That is set many positions higher to us.
030
Jacqueline @cuddlefishj.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
We should also go easier on teachers. It’s a mostly female workforce and an incredibly difficult job. It is impossible to not make mistakes at times and yet the public give us no grace. Memes that say teachers are Doing It Wrong are like my kryptonite if I am to be honest.

Jacqueline @cuddlefishj.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Now granted I teach older kids, but even if I taught younger kids, they still may need a (kid friendly) explanation. I don’t know why we would want robots teaching our kids.
