So Ian Tuason thought it was chill to use photos from residential schools and actual Native kids to make his "scary movie" creepy? What a disgusting choice

From the beginning one of my biggest issues with this person is that it is my FIRM BELIEF that once you ask people to sign their IP over to you, there is simply a higher bar of responsibility for how you behave in professional spheres & also how you let your mental health impact those people.

Last re-skeet: there is no one solution for accessibility, and we really, really need to do better at accepting that as an immutable fact across all areas of disability. What provides access for one person can even close the door for another. Having *multiple* choices/options is the way ahead.

goooood morning it is foggy again and cool (but not too cold), so we made our rounds, saying hello to a couple of neighbors and sharing our snacks with crows, so yes, all visibility aside: Lucy Loved That Walk

Astronomy news for spooky season: a zombie planet orbiting a dead (but still hostile) star. Evidence suggests the following: Star dies, expels outer layers, becomes white dwarf. Gas giant forms from the debris. White dwarf is now blasting planet with radiation, shearing off some of its atmosphere.

New analysis of archival Hubble data points to the possibility of "dead" white dwarf stars hosting second-generation planetary systems.

Only two Kitchener WCDSB trustee candidates showed up for the debate today. Based on their answers today, I believe that both Jess Hutton and Ruthann Fisher truly deserve the chance to represent Kitchener families in the Catholic public school system. Please remember to vote on October 26th!

People being quiet about her will not stop her, it just gives her cover to continue to operate as she has been. There are people carefully staying out of public discussions, not "liking" posts critical of her (which we know she monitors), and she still ends up targeting them! So yeah, harp on it.🤷‍♀️

Again. The reason I have harped on about Atthis Arts and Emily (EDE) Bell for well over a year now is because she is in a position of power and the below is an example of that abuse of power against *one of her still under contract to this day authors.*

The shorthand for people complaining about wokeness is often people whining they can't say shitty things about other people consequence free anymore. This is particularly true with comedians. Anyway, I don't like Chris Rock.

Let's be clear if the elders that shared their stories didn't want them to be kept by the gov/academics then that is the only option. Yes it sucks to lose this history, these words, and stories, but they belong to those elders and we must abide by their boundaries. thenarwhal.ca/trc-resident...

Canada plans to destroy thousands of residential school testimonies. These women think survivors should have a choice

The 38,000 testimonies are the largest body of evidence about children’s experiences in these institutions. Journalist Connie Walker and lawyer Kimberly Murray say losing it would mean losing history — both painful and illuminating

goooood morning it is foggy af and a bit cool outside, and we made our rounds in an uneventful fashion - but we shared our snacks with crows, crunched through some leaves, and discovered a zillion mushrooms so yes, as always: Lucy Loved That Walk

Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes and a smile; behind her is a foggy street lined with trees that are turning orange and yellow.

Same dog, same place - now opening wide to snatch a snack of poptart crust out of the sky. Yes, she caught it.
