I was blown away watching @_aysanabee_ play at @ReginaFolkFest’s concert the other night. Incredible performance, such rich stories in his music. Since I was in the 3rd row I watched from up close and I can’t stop wondering if he has Robbie Robertson’s bronze Stratocaster.

This platform is now a hot mess but I HAD to login to say Waxahatchee’s Tigers Blood album is so damn good!!! Her liner notes rung so true for me as a writer, she talks about needing to trust that our ideas will come: “… if they're not showing up, then it's just not time yet.”

Harassment of female lawyers by JUDGES and other lawyers is so bad that they are leaving the profession. YET, domestic violence victims are expected to trust they will be treated fairly in family court?

Rural Sask, YOUR PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING TOO. SIS is damaging everywhere whether you *personally* see it daily, or not! They come to the cities for service and get stuck here.
Calling on NDP and UCP to unite on scrapping SIS next #skpoli election.
NO VOTES FOR SIS APOLOGISTS!

It’s my budget season & Im shocked how much more money I have to spend on pain killers since entering perimenopause. People who menstruate spend ridiculously high amounts of money on health care stuff that isn’t supported by this “free health care” bullshit #SkHealth #Pharmacare
I just emailed council to let them know they can do more to create a more resilient, equitable and sustainable Regina. You can too with this easy to use tool. nwmd.social/s/twitter/4AuOaV…, #YQR, #Regina, #yqrcc
Tim & Amy are a force of creative community builders here in #Yqr, facing an unexpected struggle with health. Give if you can, or in this link there’s a list of other ways folks can help. Support comes in many forms and can make an incredible difference gofund.me/2e552de0
