Best School Day -- funding public education in the US

I wonder if there is anything like this happening in Canada?

Through this charity you can fund a school to have the materials they need to teach. For example, maybe they want to teach from the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", but they don't have enough copies for every student in the class... you could donate so they could get the books they need.

And how do you know if a charity is legit? In Canada we have Charity Intelligence investigating for us: https://www.charityintelligence.ca/

Tea Consent (Metaphor)

Sadly, it doesn't seem to matter how simply this message is communicated... it seems to be concept completely beyond the understanding or acceptance of some people.

On Hold: Canadian Transgender Health Access



Awesome look at the experiences of transgender Canadians trying to navigate the health system. There are so many barriers! I particularly love the focus on New Brunswick. My sleepy little home province seems to go largely unnoticed, but there is a lot of crap going on there that needs to be brought to light so that we can change things.

House Hippo



Super cute and a classic reminder about the importance of critical thinking.
