Hey beer-lovers! This is John Adair, the owner of Sooke Brewing Company, and he is a Residential School denialist. So when we say “drink Canadian,” we don’t mean his beer. ☺️ #yyj Fuck this white guy.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

If you are viciously attacked by a poodle, you’re likely going to be nervous around poodles, even if not all poodles plan to attack you. We think this is reasonable. When you consider that nearly all women have been harassed or assaulted by a man, why is it not also reasonable here?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

“Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours.” IT IS THEIR SHAME, NOT YOURS.

kbarton1001

On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly “Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap.” There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly “next time I pick it up with my fork.” Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously “Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours.”

Just to tie this into Alberta at this very moment, the Cargill workers that Kenney's UCP treated as expendable are exactly the foreign workers that Smith's UCP wants to charge $1,900 a year to access health care, even though these workers pay taxes from the minute they start working.

#ShowMeYourKnits Current WIP is a keffiyeh-patterned scarf for a dear friend who’s “not made for the cold”, lol. It’s double-knit, so the backside is opposite to the front.

An iPad showing a charted black and white pattern stands in the background. The start of a scarf with a traditional keffiyeh pattern rests against the iPad. The scarf is mainly a variegated dark blue/purple with off-white pattern.

Looking at you, Edmonton/#yeg. The amount spent on policing is far more money than is required to house people & provide robust wraparound services, to boot. Choosing deliberate, unaccountable cruelty to the most vulnerable requires choosing the outcomes of that cruelty. Fix your fuckin' hearts.

I been telling y’all this

This is how I can tell that we were being conditioned: instead of taking accountability for the fact that she might be leading her party towards a political buzzsaw with this referendum vote, she decided to double down by attacking immigrants. She tweeted: "Temporary residents contribute about $150-million to our tax base
annually, yet the cost to provide services for them is over $1-billion. It's simply not fair to Alberta taxpayers." She provides zero sources for these numbers, yet we are supposed to take them as facts. Blaming immigrants or minorities of some kind are where the conservatives naturally turn when things are going wrong for them. This displacement of blame allows Smith to refocus attention in an attempt to obscure the fact that she has been privatizing Alberta health care and education throughout her premiership, thereby defunding public services for private interests.
