It is wild to me that someone can read the Bible, particularly the Gospels, and end up convinced that the thing our society needs is a system that creates billionaires.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

The teachers had no other option. The Alberta government is failing their own students.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

This morning, the following email was individually sent to every MLA in the province of Alberta requesting intervention in the University of Alberta's decision to slash all child care funding for their students, faculty and staff.

The president was CC'd on each one as well.

My Alberta teachers were some of the best I ever had, a great part of why I became a teacher. I’m so grateful to them and hoping they get what they need from their strike.

Just stop going to Safeway’s. You can pretty well guarantee that if this rollback works for them, the two or three other multinationals that supply, our fruits will do the same thing.
