Yeah just after university I went all over Europe for a couple months. And I go on little trips by myself but this is further and longer. I just feel so uneasy about it.

I traveled so much on my own when I was younger. I am not sure why I am finding this trip so anxiety inducing. I will be somewhere with no language or cultural barrier. Everything is well-planned. And yet I constantly think about somehow not going.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

I asked why she’s so bad and they said that she won’t support the teachers and she’s making people pay for health care.

Asking my nephews who they are voting for in the Calgary civic election. They said they don’t know who they would vote for but they hope they aren’t like Danielle Smith because she’s awful.

Striking Canada Post workers will move to rotating strikes as of tomorrow — but they’re still fighting the uphill battle for both Canada Post and their labour rights.

For @parismarx.com, the Carney government continuing to chip away at this essential service is the last straw:

Maren Aukerman, an education professor at the University of Calgary, says the Alberta government's nearly 200-page "tool kit" hops from one topic to another without context and barely aligns with the provincial curriculum.

There’s a 7-11 nearby. I don’t know what they have these days because we don’t have one where I live.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

We know so little about players’ personal feelings. It means everyone’s analysis of the game is fundamentally superficial

I don’t think I have any plans to be near there. I’m staying down by Kennington and then by Camden town.
