a thanksgiving reminder that food banks are not the policy solution to food insecurity, the same way shelters are not the policy solution to homelessness. we need to meaningfully address the pathologies of poverty.
Can we stop with all the Mr & Mrs wedding decorations? I’m about to take a sharpie to make Mrs & Mrs #DIYproject
The awkward Canada Day where you are trying to figure out who is a “freedom fighter” and who is just enjoying the holiday 🧐

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
THIS. Stripping woman of their right to choose and access safe abortions will only push them underground.
In absolute shock and enraged that Roe v. Wade was overturned. What year are we living in?! A massive step back for women’s rights. #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights #RoeVsWade
