Replying to @AnnickPress
The Ghost Collector by @sometimesal is a middle grade story rooted in Indigenous identity and Cree worldviews that explores the universal themes of grief, loss, family and friendship.

Chinatown has already been split in half by the Vine St Expressway. Why is the city not listening to the community most directly affected by the proposed arena? Philly didn’t want this 25 years ago and we don’t want it now. Vote NO! @PHLCouncil

I live near Jefferson Hospital and traffic already inhibits patients from getting timely care. How much worse will this be with an arena in the middle of the city? @PHLCouncil should listen to their constituents and not bow to pressure from billionaires. Vote NO!
Either you're for Philly, or you're for billionaires. #NoArena

What I hate about Truth & Reconciliation Day is how the government and politicians, who have power to make real change, have encouraged everyday Canadians to think reconciliation is achieved through individual capitalist consumption. Buying orange shirts and donuts, for example.

Halloween has officially begun! I'm so proud of this display. All the pieces of uranium glass are new to my collection too. I hope you enjoy it.

Bus I was supposed to take broke down. Unsure if they’ll have room for everyone on the 4:15 bus. We have to wait on the street to find out if we get to go home or not. @megabus you don’t have any other solutions when a bus breaks down on a 91 degree day?

Friendly reminder from your local uranium glass collector: wear your sunscreen, gang. UV light is not messing around.

Instead, send money, make moontime kits, or volunteer with Bear Clan Patrols like the one in YYC: facebook.com/BearClanCalgary…

The aesthetic of MMIW advocacy (red dresses, red hand makeup) came from families who advocated for justice for their loved ones. A big name org created a fb filter that's a red hand over your mouth. What does this do for families? It just lets people play dress up Indian. Yuck.
