Face aux reculs et au backlash, nous devons réaffirmer une vérité fondamentale : chaque personne mérite dignité, protection, sécurité, mais aussi une vie épanouie, enrichissante et empreinte d’amour. ❤️

La dernière semaine nous rappelle une réalité troublante : les gains obtenus après de longues luttes pour la justice peuvent être rapidement fragilisés.

The issue of election interference in Canada through social media propaganda is an even bigger issue than elsewhere right now, I would say, because we already can't post news articles on Meta platforms and I feel like people keep forgetting that? The conditions are ripe for disinformation!

Canada is experiencing an epidemic of intimate partner violence and femicide. It is particularly bad in Nova Scotia. So many elections happening or on the horizon and nary a peep about it on the campaign trails.

La vie chez mes parents = une chasse aux trésors pour les turtles en chocolat. Papa les cache pour m’aider à ne pas en manger à journée longue. Maman le chicane de les avoir cachées, en mange une et les cache à son tour dès que papa quitte la pièce. #LaVieEnFamille #ProcheAidante

Life with my parents in a nutshell. Dad hides the turtles after I joke complain about an endless supply and my inability to resist. Mom looks for the turtles and protests when dad says he hid them. Dad gets the turtles. Mom eats one. Dad leaves the room and mom hides them 😂. #Caregiving #FamilyTime

Anyone know how to change the topics you tell Bluesky you’re interested in when you first sign up? I’d like to “discover” new people to follow, but my feed is wonky because of the topics I chose or how to algorithm interprets them.

Ontario is backing rehab instead of safe drug injection sites. Those who know the system say both are needed
At the same time as the government is pumping new cash into rehab, it is slashing funding from another pillar of drug recovery: harm reduction.
