“I don't think men understand where women are right now. After Gisele Pelicot, then the Italian case, now this.
It's become undeniable: men view us as orifices or irrelevant. We're in a profoundly dark place, whereas they are carrying on as if it's just another news story."
1/2
Screenshot of Facebook post: Leanne Wood * War on women. It's clear from the Epstein files that the "Me Too" movement had to be defeated. It's pretty obvious why. Carol Cadwalladr: "I struggled all week to write about the momentous geopolitical revelations in the Epstein files. And I realised it's because I had to write this first. Epstein's world is our world. We live in a paedophiliac culture. That's what we can't face. But now have to. Sexual desire for children is not just protected, it's monetised. It's algorithmically amplified, fed into LLMS owned by Jeff's friends. The global superpower is another close pal. This is Jeff's World. And we're living in it." "That, I think, is why my words wouldn't come this week. And why other women I know have struggled too." "I don't think men understand where women are right now. After Gisele Pelicot, then the Italian case, now this. It's become undeniable: men view us as orifices or irrelevant. We're in a profoundly dark place, whereas they are carrying on as if it's just another news story." "...a culture which reveres female youth and innocence despises female age and experience. It disgusts them, scares them. That's our pedophiliac culture too; misogyny of adult women is the opposite of sexual desire for girls, an inverted mirror. We are crones, hags, witches. Because we're a threat. Because we see these men for who they are. Because, except for rare exceptions - the monstrosity that is Ghislaine Maxwell - we are protectors. Of children. Of society. Of a world in which rich men don't get to act with impunity. Not on our watch.."

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

A motion supporting separation from Canada was put forward at the party convention of the governing party of Alberta.

In 1924.

(It failed badly.)
ALBERTA FARMERS' SEPARATIST MOVEMENT Edmonton, Thursday -- At a meeting here to-day of the Convention of United Farmers of Alberta, a resolution was proposed declaring for the separation of the Prairie Provinces from the Dominion Federation, with a view "to setting up a British colony independent of the Eastern Provinces." The motion was supported by only five or six delegates. --Liverpool Daily Post, 18 Jan 1924

very excited about the opportunities this educational expansion in the north offers— specifically deepening our ties with First Nations in the Arctic.

Tonight, Vancouver council will have a public hearing for a school 19 years in the making

There's some community opposition to the project — but there's also the bigger question of why it takes the provincial and municipal governments 19 years to approve a single school

Apparently all you need to do to get away with murder in Texas is say you were drunk and didn't know what you were doing.

This needs more coverage. Please don't let him get away with this.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!
