I wish you not just a lot of love, but a lot of different *kinds* of love: deep and old with a gorgeous patina and a few dents, fresh and fizzy and waking your palate, sticky and heedless, leaning into community and being truly held, and for yourself as best you can.

Saskatchewan's Ministry of Education is claiming that the Canadian Anti-Hate Network's tool kit 'Confronting Hate in Canadian Schools' contains too much bias and recommends educators not use it - which sounds like they are concerned that educators might have effective tools to combat hate.

Having trustee candidates who oppose the existence of trans people is already causing harm. Don’t give them more power.

School board races matter - trustees decide budgets, set policy, & can create supportive or hateful environments.

When people challenge “trans ideology” they are challenging the humanity & existence of some of us.

Vote for trustees who will create safe schools for trans kids.

Excuse me, David Mamet wrote four seasons of a television show about special forces guys? Why am I the last to know things?

So I stopped beside a car with a flat and only a small 60ish woman and a teen girl by it. Turned out they’d called AAA (who arrived 30s after me). Before I left she thanked me twice and then said “Nobody else fucking stopped. Thank Gd there are still SOME men.”

Uh.
