The dumping of debris on a mural honouring #MMIWG2S at the Brady Road landfill is a grotesque act of hatred. It’s a reflection of how the lives of Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people are constantly devalued. We are a target. We deserve justice. #SearchTheLandfill

Folks are arguing that since the relationship was consensual, there shouldn’t have been an issue. I provide an answer for why we need to stop using this reasoning, as Tory clearly held power over his former staffer: bit.ly/3InW08U

Things I dreamt about last night: Organizing my comps reading list by page count; Being unprepared for an indigenous-focused research talk, where I used Inside-out themed graphics. Being a grad student is weird sometimes.

It’s so strange to see public health officials and institutions adopt libertarian phrases. “Wearing a mask is a personal choice” is political phrasing. That’s not a sentence that would ever be used in public health messaging normally. “Brushing your teeth is a personal choice.”

There is so much wrong with the constitutional interpretation in this piece, it detracts from public knowledge. I'm going to my computer so I can tweet with receipts.

In Alberta terms, Smith is more traditional than radical. She's just the latest protest premier in a long history of dissent. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #yyccc

Booking for the moderna BA1 bivalent vaccine opens in Alberta on the 21st (disregard wrong previous tweet). Booking opens at 8 but some sites start rolling in between 7-9am in our experience. Must be 3 months ago from previous dose, recommendation of 5 month gap from prev. dose.

If you’re headed to university or college this week, this thread is worth a few minutes of your time. It could save you hours in November.

My two favourite pieces of advice: Read the Syllabus. Seriously. and Cite as you go. This will literally save you hours of work.

Dear @RachelNotley @JanisIrwin @DShepYEG We hear so much about doctors & nurses - but admin support is quietly being disposed of. Positions requiring certain skills are now being DOWNGRADED one or two steps to save $$ thx to the UCP. Hospitals can't run without us. SOS! 🚨🚨

Going to an international conference and just got told I couldn’t have my breast pump in a separate bag and @delta said if my child wasn’t with me this wasn’t allowed. Breast don’t stop making milk just because the baby isn’t there -Do better @Delta! @AcademicMomLife @Momademia

So society is telling these girls that their shorts have to be mid-thigh lest they be sexualized while society also ensures that stores don’t carry shorts that to mid thigh & most girls’ clothing is sexualized. To exist as female is to exist on a knife’s edge, even as a kid.
