Incredible, sensitive, scientifically informed reporting from a local paper in St. Louis, saying what we all expected: Parents whose children were treated at the Transgender Center completely contradict the account of a self-described whistleblower, explaining a slow, methodical proccess for treating trans youth in their care.

Read this. Share this. The truth deserves to get as big an audience as transphobic lies.

@Ask_aubry I make sure to jump in puddles every spring! I may be annoyed with them some days, but gotta appreciate them first.

All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations@twitter.com

@stevesilberman So Grade 3 kids recognized racism, sounds like they & teacher could have pursued an age-appropriate discussion about economics and race both.

But those kids being smart and insightful enough to recognize racism scared the admin enough to ban that discussion. And then say without a hint of shame or self awareness "we don't ban books". No, lady, you do worse. You cut off those kids from thinking for themselves.

@firda Great picture! It's hard to go wrong with an elevator against the sky.

You might like this page with some more history of Val Marie and elevators: issuu.com/heritagesask/docs/hs

There's also a note that "The first elevator built was the Alberta Pacific in 1927; it was managed by Mr. A. Lemire. The Canadian National opened a branch in 1928 with Mr. R. Langlais as manager, but it was soon closed." It's not clear what happened to the 1928 elevator, but I'd guess this Pool was built in the 60s.

Don't say "schadenfreude" about Kevin McCarthy.

"Schadenfreude" only refers to enjoying a person's misfortune. "Genugtuung" is when you enjoy it BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT.

For pure uncut genugtuung, my @Salon@twitter.com colleague @AmandaMarcotte@twitter.com has this take. (1/2)

"why do you support your tax dollars going to subsidized daycare if you don't have kids" because if other people can't afford to have kids the only staff at my nursing home when I'm old will be a pill organizer scotch-taped to a roomba

@ccullen22 What a great shot. I hate that the prairies have almost entirely lost these sentinels.

A line of derelict grain elevators in a wintry northern Montana #raw_landscape #raw #montana #podium #pictas #montana #winter #abandoned #usa #nikon #photography #farming #architecture #urbex

Panorama of six old grain elevators. They are in a line but raher jumbled in appearance. Some are corrugated metal clad, some just bare timber boarding. All are decaying slowly. There is a fresh coating of snow on them and on the ground

@ToddCrawshaw Alberta. Saskatchewan. Ontario. A lot of cons seeing dollar signs instead of a public service.

Opened Facebook this morn & saw 2 fundraisers from U.S. friends to help pay medical debt, and saw dear friend lose his wife to cancer last night & is now in medical debt for the rest of his life.

This is the future some parties want in Canada. There are millions of voters lining up to bring this reprehensible model to our nation.

The next AB election is May 29. Vote like your life depends upon the outcome

@AlisonCreekside Wow! Incredible what weather can create.
These look like they're set to march out and conquer (like Dr Who monsters or something!)

@Schubertsworld I feel like these could show up as Doctor Who monsters!
