So let's be real, when Smith says you have to be a taxpayer to access our services, she is setting the scene to target immigrants, but also people who work for low wages who live in poverty, children, seniors, disabled people, the list goes on... this is so so dangerous. #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli

I don't know how anyone accomplishes anything, I am always in thrall to a headache and/or executive dysfunction and there are too many tabs open in my brain. You're all so accomplished!

My spouse shut the bedroom closet door before the thunder started so poor baby Amy, our 16 year old cat, has wedged herself under the bathroom sink cabinet with her face towards the wall so the bad thing can't get her. I pushed the sheepskin and a laundry basket towards her for more protection 🥺

Other people have noted why the infusion of AI into everything has made grammar and spellcheckers effectively useless (because the tools are now checking against common usage by OTHER users), but can I vent for a second? 1/2

In case it helps anyone else, you can't do this. Your spouse has to get a credit check and create a new account and then move the numbers over? Asinine. Ask how many phone calls and how many hours on hold it took them to tell us this. EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS LIKE THIS NOW.

When Carney's first cabinet did not have a Minister for WAGE, my colleagues & I sounded the alarm that it was a huge 🚩; that he doesn't understand the importance of having gender based analysis. Partisans called us hysterical. Well, now we're looking at an 81% (!!!) budget cut.

Just so we’re all clear, and for the dozenth time: there is a direct through line between our society deciding that we’re fine with disabled and immunocompromised ppl dying and being driven out of public life so we can all have fun and the resurgence of this word

For anyone who knows anything about the extreme lack of children’s mental health support in Alberta, this looks like children suffering and maybe not making it because our government has utterly failed on governance in every way

A chapter I'm reading for my lit review (Gieseler on death positivity in the digital era) mentions Lincoln's "180-city, seven-state, 1,600-mile funeral tour by train" and, holy shit, what kind of spectacle will they put on when He finally kicks it, can you imagine?

A colleague (or perhaps not a colleague as they are a tenured professor & I am a unionized staff worker & grad student so I am on a lower tier but anyway) remarked to me yesterday how bonkers it is that there's no bike infrastructure leading to the university, which is something I've thought before

Some combination of my brain and the birds are conspiring to prevent me from getting more than 5 hours of sleep per night, which is not helping with either perimenopause symptoms or general coping. And I'm meant to be working on my lit review this month but have been too fried to touch it all week.

"It’s created such wreckage to have implied that history and humanities are luxury goods, rather than essential services... more to the point, the idea that only science really matters has been enormously destructive." There is no research infrastructure without a full research infrastructure.

Our society absolutely sucks at talking about disability. There’s very little early education about it that’s mandatory. It’s left to parental discretion. You know, parents, who literally drag their kids away from us and hiss DON’T STARE, therefore setting us up as other.
