I go into the basement. There's a huge mess on the floor. Clove is looking up at me with a panicked look, meowing over & over. I figure it was Erie (she's the evil one), and Clove is trying to tell me that it wasn't her fault. I sigh, walk upstairs, & start talking to my wife...
Sometimes I think about where we would be as a culture today if #MeToo in 2017 had radicalized more straight men into fighting sexual abuse instead of creating a culture of "oh god don't get me CANCELED" and "fake accusations" paranoia and resentment

Tomorrow (Sept. 30th) is #TruthAndReconciliationDay in Canada. You may spot people wearing orange shirts, which recognise our history of residential schools (which aimed to "remove the Indian from the child" - often brutally) and which affirm that Every Child Matters - then, now, tomorrow. We […]

Friends - Sept 30 is #TruthAndReconciliationDay in Canada. A.k.a. #OrangeShirtDay. "In 2013 … Phyllis Webstad told her story of her first day at residential school when her shiny new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, was taken from her as a 6-year old girl. [It] symbolized love, excitement, & belonging. When it was taken away, it represented how the system tried to strip away identity, culture, & the fundamental truth that Every Child Matters."
