Will reply for the right GIF. Tweets are my own. Will get political for free. I like dogs, and awkward silences. (she/her)

Alberta The Hellscape: A Novel of survival as a sensible citizen in a land of bitter Christo-fascists. #abpoli #ableg.
Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) . John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked.

Legit thought this was a 22 Minutes sketch. Imagine being triggered by people caring about their neighbors and about each other. Alberta, you continue to be an embarrassment across Canada. Bravo. 🙄 #abpoli.
Been in Nova Scotia a few days. Beautiful place, great people — but the woke mindset out here is wild. Pride flags in every third window, people afraid to speak the truth. To the conservatives out here holding strong… I see you. You’re not alone. #cdnpoli

It’s always women who bear the brunt. I hate this timeline.
The blatant stalking of journalist Carrie Tait is yet another reminder that women bear the brunt of sinister intimidation tactic. I reported on the same topics as my female colleagues and the threats and taunts always wound in their inbox, not mine.

Surprising exactly no women, it’s once again a victim blaming type of situation. Maybe one day it won’t be. But miss me with your bullshit that rape allegations ruin a man’s life. They definitely don’t. Ever. 🙄🙄 #hockeycanadatrial.
TW/SA. This is brutal. Just hideous. This is why women don't come forward. Sending love and support to EM.

RT @JenkinsBrevard: And here it is folks. The “protect women’s sports” crowd mocks women athletes who ask to be paid what they’re worth.….

To be fair, the Premier is an expert at flip flopping on issues. So flipping pancakes is just a natural progression. #abpoli #ableg.
On one hand…. A leader who can’t flip pancakes on the first try but owns his mistakes and does better. On the other…. The premier of Alberta refusing to call a public inquiry on an alleged billion dollar scandal, but she can flip a pancake!. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s not that the Oilers lost, it’s that they lost to a bunch of greasy dicks who have no class that’s the hardest to take.
Oilers Players after losing: .“Lost to a really good team.”.“Heck of a Team” .“Back to Back Champs for a Reason”. Panthers players after winning:.“Fuck McDavid”.“Fuck The Oilers”.“Connor McDavid Who?”. Incredible how you can lose with class and even if you win can still have none

This is amazing for HIV care and prevention. Too bad Alberta elected fundamentalists who are against public health and vaccines. #abpoli.
The FDA has approved a drug that provides a "near perfect" shield against HIV transmission. It is administered twice a year. We have this drug in Canada as well. We can end the HIV epidemic. The question will be if we want to or not.

Considering some hospitals are seeing at least one presumptive/waiting to be confirmed case per shift per day, I’d say the number is much higher and many are just not getting testing. Winning in AB. #abpoli #ableg.
In just one week (Week 23), Canada reported 202 new measles cases, & 114 were in Alberta!. That’s more than all other provinces & territories combined. Yes, you read that right, Alberta has more cases than the rest of the country. Please make sure your kids are vaccinated.
