Like if your vegan anarchist grandma and vegan anarchist dad were the same person.
I am an engineer (closer to toot toot then clicky clacky) cosplaying as a farmer in unceded aninstanabe territory in eastern ontario.
Pronouns: she/they
Maybe the real vegan theory club were the friends we made along the way ✨

They were the North Vietnamese Army, the NVA, the People’s Army of Vietnam and they were the People’s Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam. Collectively the United States often called them the Viet Cong. It was commonly shortened to VC, which in military alphabet code was spoken as Victor Charlie. It was further shortened to just Charlie.
So pretty 💕
They could at least stop actively supporting it and cheering it on, but that's too "divisive" 🙄
I wish this was for any reason other than a big "no u" to the US.
As if CORCAN doesn't exist.
Do you know what part of swimming was uncomfortable for her? There is no universal rule about not swimming while bleeding, it's largely cultural or related to the type of product she wants to use (internal vs external). I think understanding what the restriction is will help you understand options.
A splash pad might be an option if she wants to use pads and therefore keep parts of her body dry. Wading pools, sitting on a dock with feet in the water, etc.
Other than that, anything that doesn't involve submerging the body would work:
Are you friends with anyone who works on military projects, in the "defense" industry, is in the military or has served in the military in the past (same question for police)?
Do you attend events that include "thanking the troops"? Do you allow your kids to go on field trips that involve the military or cops? Do you go to war museums? Participate in or support Cadet programs?
Have you filed an objection to selective service (if you fall into the demographic that it applies to? Are you rude to recruiters? Do you protest recruitment offices if they open in your community?
If yes, then congrats on your gold star for the bare minimum. If not then maybe you and the other the 350 million Americans can ask themselves why they put their social comfort over human rights .
(And yes I do these things in my own country)
Of course you don't need to defend yourself to a stranger on the internet. My point with the questions is it's not armed insurrection or nothing.
If you believe, deep in your heart, that you are doing all you can (which is all anyone can do!), why make defensive comments saying it's too hard and people who think it's possible just don't understand? I'm not saying you need to publicly or privately support these specific tactics if you don't agree with them. You just don't need to do the empire's propaganda for them, ya know?
Lmao don't @ me on this if you aren't openly rude to any military or police involved person.
I want to put this in the comments because people who don't read the article carefully will miss it.
During an unrelated news conference in the northwestern Ontario city Tuesday, Ford was asked about recent calls from First Nation leaders to close the old jail, which MPP Mamakwa calls “a death trap.”
“We just want to make sure we get some consultation, and we built a nice jail, very nice jail up here," Ford said. "Matter of fact, it looks like the Four Seasons Hotel. I'm not sold on that. When people commit crimes, they shouldn't be in this fancy-dancey jail.
“But we're going to invest in it and let's see what we do with the old jail. Do we renovate it? Because we need more cells.”
The article mentions these comments came less than a week after an inquest into a death of an inmate there finished. The inquest made recommendations such as :
develop and publicly release a plan to decommission the jail within five years of the opening of the new Thunder Bay Correctional Centre.
the 100-year-old jail never be repurposed to incarcerate individuals in the future.
develop a functional capacity for correctional settings that considers institutions' ability to provide adequate supervision and support services rather than simply focusing on housing inmates.
review and revise policies related to opioid use disorder and suicide prevention
for correctional officers to receive ongoing training on substance use disorders and trauma.
round-the-clock nursing care be implemented at the jail
ensure inmates know what supports are available
that inmates spend at least five hours a day outside their cells.
Kevin Mamakwa died in prison while on Suboxone to treat opioid addiction.
Earlier, the jury heard Mamakwa received his four doses of suboxone at a pharmacy May 14, 2020, which would have run out four days later. He was remanded into custody May 28, 2020 and died five days later.
Boban explained that in 2020, if a person missed six consecutive doses of suboxone, they had to be re-assessed by a doctor in person before they could receive additional doses.However, the jury heard Mamakwa had no chance to see a doctor during his time at the jail.
Boban also said it seemed it was unclear to jail staff whether Mamakwa had an active prescription, and they didn't know he was given a 21-day prescription May 14 which would have lasted until June 3, the day after he died.
From another article:
Dr. Leonora Regenstreif, an adjunct assistant clinic professor at the department of family medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, provided testimony Wednesday about opioid withdrawal symptoms.
...
“Withdrawal from suboxone, from what I hear from patients, tends to be worse at three to five days. It can go on for a couple of weeks,” Regenstreif said.
...
“It was very common for people to be in what we call forced withdrawal. So for me, the challenge early on was I was very shocked it didn't meet what we call equivalency — meaning that people in corrections were not getting equivalent care, equal care to people who are outside.”
Kevin Mamakwa's death was ruled a suicide by the inquiry. He died by suicide during opioid withdrawal. He had a prescription for medication to treat this withdrawal, but was not given access to this medicine.
That absolute timbit of a premier had the audacity to roll up to tbay having no idea of what happened in that inquiry and make these cruel comments. I'm not even sure he realizes what a jail is. Jail is where they keep people who haven't been convicted yet, in addition to people on short sentences. It hasn't been determined they commited those crimes yet.
Even one of the guards knows it's fucked up:
“There are days when I'm putting people in cells where I actually feel like a bad human being because I don't care what crime you committed — I wouldn't want to be treated that way,” he said of the 100-year-old building’s conditions.
I did a super quick search and found this auditor general report that stated that 84% of inmates at that jail were on remand in 2018/2019.
What an absolute jackass.
I'm at the super annoying "something ain't quite right but it's easily brushed off until someone decides you are being two faced as an act of cruelty towards them" part of the spectrum.
Omg I'm so excited for mine to come up, it's the first year they are protected enough from being eaten that they might actually bloom 🤣
Thank you for sharing ✨
I love these guys and their screeching so much lol
Lol they take it as degree of disability rather than spectrum of differences because they can't comprehend that anything other than the NT way of being exists.
This article specifies the use of both 12% hydrogen peroxide and calcium hypochlorite powder. Hope they turned off the ozone generator too.
That response rules, I'm def going to use it in the future 🫡
I got 100% and I'm in my 40s so... I don't think they are allowed to call it modern now
I'm not sure it's more anonymous? If you are driving it you need plates, and there are way more cameras than Flock.
If you buy land then it's in your name or a company name but that's not anon. I guess it depends on where the plot of land is but depending on the zoning it may arouse suspicion if nothing is built or it's left idle. I do live rural and Google maps has really made it hard to hide zoning infractions lol. Tree cover might help.
Would you need utilities? That would need a name too, and they could tell when you are there based on usage.
It doesn't sound like this would work for you but I'd say the best way to be anon would be to be an informal roommate, or even having a rental lease especially in a place where that's not public info and is just an agreement between two people.
This opinion does not reflect the employment standards act in Ontario.
Lol my instance doesn't have down votes
That is correct, if your manager is not also the employer (except in limited circumstances).
Managers are allowed to keep the tips and gratuities they receive themselves, and generally may participate in tip pooling arrangements if their employers’ policy permits them to do so.
thanks for using Leebra!
