First they came for the trans people
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trans person.
Time to speak out. We need to organize and take to the streets to defeat these regressive Christo-fascists.

I'm still shocked by this. Who in their right mind sees acres of waterfront parkland and thinks "This place needs a privately run spa"? Yeah, a conservative is who. Lord, rid us of the pestilence called conservatives.

Yesterday evening, Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive #Conservatives quietly held the largest political fundraiser in Canadian history, bringing in a staggering $6 million.
More than 4000 people paid $1500/apiece to attend Thursday's sold out event at the #Toronto Congress Centre in Etobicoke. The event was closed to all media.

“When I grow up I’ll be a #mechanic so I can work in a #garage and #fix things that are broken,” says four year old Robert. “When I grow up,” replies his twin Richard, “I will be a #microphone so I can make everything #loud LOUD LOUD!”
…
“Me too. I’m going to be a microphone and the sound will come in my feet and go out my mouth!” reconsiders Robert.
Life with the #twins #today
For #March I’ve decided to do 30 min of #yoga every #morning for my physical and #mentalhealth. #Today was day 2 and I’m feeling good. If you struggle with #mornings , try just 15 min of gentle exercise and a glass of cold #water on waking. I put my water bottle in the fridge at night so it’s glacier cold. Really helps me! I use the #DownDogApp but something like this YouTube is all you need https://youtu.be/r7xsYgTeM2Q

Please, for me, someone do this

Today was the first day my daughters JK classroom had 100% attendance...ever. They took a photo to celebrate. Let that sink in. It's 28 Feb and school started in September. Today was the FIRST day every student was present. #onted #unsafeschools
#ontario is updating its #Biodiversity Strategy. Please take 15 min to provide feedback. Our approach to the #biodiversitycrisis in the next decade will be the difference between survival and #extinction for many #species. We must implement solutions that address biodiversity #conservation , #climatechange , #housing , #reconciliation , and #landback

Protecting local #fishing #rights is not just the right thing to do but also the #sustainable thing to do. On Canada's west coast, absentee ownership of fishing licenses is still allowed, and its a threat. I signed this #petition and encourage you to consider signing too:

and I've started a little agnostic prayer practice -
But I've started saying a little agnositic prayer in the mornings -
"Every day is a surprise, and I'm ready for this day, and what I've got to do."
I'm super allergic to "positive thinking" but the small shift in habituated mentation to "I'm ready" from "I'm not ready" has made the mornings much more joyful.
#today I was able to #help someone. Something small that I could do easily made a big impact in their life. I’m so grateful to be in a place of privilege and security where I can help others. #passitalong #gooddeed #kindness

@StephenBHeard it's also the way white pines change with age from the Charlie Brown Christmas tree with smooth bark and barely able to stand, to a nice tree form with a lot of branches and needles, to the giant deep-barked windswept monsters. The ones that escaped logging now tower above the rest of the forest.
New Ontario health legislation is disturbingly vague on new clinics’ oversight
