I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Another thing we need to manufacture more of, menstruation products. I have only been able to find one brand locally that's a made in Canada. At shoppers drug Mart, the life brand makes pads that are made in Canada. But the selection is super limited.

Oh yeah, they're super pricey. I found good luck at London drugs or shoppers drug Mart when they go on sale, but the price at Costco can't be beat

I have found a surprising amount of quality shampoo & conditioner sets at Costco that are made in Canada. Including Marc Anthony hair products & Nutrius Brazilian Shampoo & Conditioner & John Frieda hair kits.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target
