May 10: Had the honour of hosting @KPateontheHill & @consandkernels for a post-show panel with others who've spent time in #correctionscanada. A sold out show & standing ovation. Deep admiration for the cast who bring this show to life with so much heart & soul. #GuardedGirls

Pat Robertson says if religious people aren't allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ people god will destroy America. Did he get a misprinted Bible that said, "Love thy straight neighbor," or is he just trying to get rid of the temptation because dicks look mighty tasty?

Mathematics is not about calculating things. It's about understanding the operations of nature at their deepest level.

Of those 25 men who voted to ban abortion in Alabama, I’d like to know how many of them have ever been pregnant. Or have gotten pregnant as a result of rape. I’d like to know how many of those men know exactly what it is like to be a woman. The answer is zero.

This is really important. Why aren’t we talking about it? "We may have just discovered a major piece of the puzzle explaining how seemingly independent international organizations help deceive us into consenting to wars and regime change interventionism around the world."

The Alabama senate voted to ban abortion. Oh, and no exceptions for rape or incest, in case you were wondering if they're a bunch of fucking monsters.

Sex work is a job just like any other, but its criminalization exposes sex workers to discrimination, abuse & exploitation. Talking about it is the first step to reducing the stigma, but decriminalization is the only way to implement safeguards to protect those in this industry.

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away” RESPONSE: “Oooh!” SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth” RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false”

First, recognize that we have rights as nations, respect both the treaties and UNDRIP, then we can talk about peace and friendship, or reconciliation or any other conversation Canda wishes to have - Get Off My Foot first.

I will never support using Canada's Indian Act blood quantum method to determine who is, or is not, First Nations. Our ancestors were distinct First Nations citizens before the Indian Act and so are we.
