Several drones and ballistic missiles were launched from #Yemen and reached targets in the #UAE, mainly three petroleum tankers: 2 killed and 6 wounded. Image
#SaudiArabia & the United Arab Emirates are unwilling to stop the war on #Yemen, the worst world humanitarian crisis, to lift the siege & to seek peace. @JoeBiden administration lied when promised to stop the war. There is no international will to cease the massacre of Yemenits.
In 2018, #Yemen Houthis retaliated against the two airports Dubai and Abu Dhabi to push the Emirates to stop their intervention in Yemen. That stopped the advance against Hodeida and resulted in the #Stockholm agreement. Today's attack is a message and a reminder to leave Yemen.

**WARNING TRIGGERS** (I HAVE PERMISSION TO SHARE STORY)

Today was stressful & hard. It was emotional. I broke down in tears along side my volunteers & a young mother of two, who felt like her world was ending. She wanted to save her children from what she's had to endure.
She didn't want to end up a statistic. She chose to leave a volatile living situation & move to a safe place where she began the process of living for herself & living for her children.

She chose life not abuse. She chose her kids over her partner. She chose smiles over tears.
She told all of us that she had been planning for over a year to leave & was on the verge of leaving when #Covid19AB happened.

She was scared/afraid/had panic attacks not knowing how to help herself let alone her children. Then she saw us on @GlobalCalgary with @global_leslie.

Let's breakdown this myth that depression means doing nothing. This was one of the worst depression weekends I've had in a long time and here's a list of what I did (thread):
Thursday night: 8hrs organizing

Friday: 17hrs cleaning & organizing

Saturday: 14hrs filming & editing video, posting video, responding to emails, drafting board documents, paying bills, invoicing

Sunday: Going for a walk with parents, filming & editing video, laundry, workout
Depression hits different for everyone.

On the topic of financial accessibility in knitting, here's a thread with some tricks for knitting on the cheap that I've picked up over the years, paired with links to higher-priced products from small businesses, for those who do have the money to spend. #NoShame #SkintVsMint
Stitch markers

SKINT: There are tons of things you can use, e.g.
- cross-sections of straws
- your kids' old Rainbow Loom elastics
- safety pins
- slip knots in scrap bits of yarn

MINT: Check out these hand-sculpted stitch markers: whitneymarieanderson.com/collections/st

Yarn bobbins

SKINT:
- those little tabs that close up bread bags work great for thin yarns
- a Google search for 'make yarn butterfly' will yield tutorials for how to hand-wind good bobbins

MINT: I found these sweet animal-shaped wooden yarn bobbins: etsy.com/ca/listing/592

Nope, I am not imagining it. @AMPalestine is actually planning a #BLM webinar on Thursday w/ Amir Abdel Malik Ali.

Yep, you read that right. @HatemBazian's org is openly working with this guy 👇
Amir Abdel Malik Ali has *openly* expressed support for Hamas, Hizbollah, & Islamic Jihad.

Even @splcenter has referred to him a "domestic jihadist".
Malik Ali has defended the convicted murderer H. Rap Brown, was a member of the Nation of Islam (now led by hate-preacher Louis Farrakhan), & (again) *even* the @SPLCenter (well known for overlooking Islamist Jew-hate) describes his views "nakedly anti-Semitic".

1/ Ce matin, @ebothorel a signalé 2 sites qui surfent sur le #COVID19 pour arnaquer les gens sous couvert de vente de masques et de gel hydroalcoolique.

Suivez ce thread, nous allons retrouver les *** qui profitent de cette crise sanitaire pour escroquer les gens
2/ Les points de départ de cette affaire sont les 2 sites ma-petite-pharmacie.fr et combattonslecoronavirus.fr. Une simple visite sur les sites en question permet de voir qu'ils sont similaires. Seuls les logos changent
3/ Lorsque l'on utilise WHOIS pour obtenir les infos sur les sites on obtient le mĂȘme email, mĂȘme nom et mĂȘme numĂ©ro de tĂ©lĂ©phone

It's #WorldAIDSDay and I thought I would share my story in a thread. I was born with #HIV HIV in 1998, full blown AIDS by six weeks of age due to poor care. (my mom was an alcoholic & addicted to crack & was barely able to get by herself). At six weeks of age I was in a coma.
@UNAIDS @EGPAF @ejaf @RED @CANFAR @amfAR @ETAForg I was on life support @sickkids until I was six months old. My doctor, Dr Stan Read and staff fought to save me. At six months of age they wanted to move me to a foster home for palliative care. They called more than 200 families and no one would take a baby dying of #AIDS.
@UNAIDS @EGPAF @ejaf @RED @CANFAR @amfAR @ETAForg @sickkids Finally, they found a home. A couple who already had six kids, five of them with special needs came to Sick Kids to pick me up. They were told I had a month to live and they decided they were going to give me all the love they could for whatever time I had left.

As if what we really need in this moment is more White men who wouldn’t be where they are today without racism pretending they get to referee the definition and confrontation of racism. 😒
Y’all can go ahead and stop imploring Republicans to denounce the racism they voted for, they’ve officially launched the inevitable “this isn’t actually racism” portion of their programming. Stop fishing for cover on their behalf, they don’t want your rehabilitation by proxy.
Seriously the issue at hand isn’t that the @GOP is unapologetically racist, it’s that their racism has been obfuscated and mainstreamed for 50+ years to the extent that folk are still asking if they condone racism with a straight face even after they nominated/elected KKK Trump.

My "#Education & #MentalHealth" grad course has made me realize that Princess Elsa was forced to suppress her powers to create ice and snow so she could be "normal." She was later labelled a monster, which is discrimination against people with "disabilities." â„ïžđŸ‘ž #ableism
The real villains are her parents. who should've encouraged her so she could embrace her powers and be confident of herself. #madstudies #disabilitystudies

I was only able to recognize this after Disney karaoke in the car. #disneyfrozen #noshame #singinginthecar đŸš—đŸŽ€
We also can't forget the kingdom and the systems that convinced her parents to fall for such discrimination. Geez Arendelle...🏰

Le mĂ©pris social engendrĂ© par le mouvement des #GiletsJaunes est multiforme. L’une de ses composantes est une trĂšs ancienne « haine du pauvre ». Or c’est au Moyen Âge qu’on a commencĂ© Ă  dĂ©tester les pauvres
 Petit thread pour notre article du jour ! âŹ‡ïž #histoire #medievaltwitter
Jusqu’aux XIIe-XIIIe siĂšcle, le pauvre est vu comme une image du Christ (« heureux vous les pauvres, le royaume de Dieu est Ă  vous »). D’oĂč une tentation de la pauvretĂ© permanente, qui atteint son apogĂ©e avec les ordres mendiants : ici, François jure fidĂ©litĂ© Ă  Dame PauvretĂ©
Il y a aussi l’idĂ©e, trĂšs forte dans les mentalitĂ©s mĂ©diĂ©vales, que tout tourne, ou du moins que tout peut tourner. Le riche peut devenir pauvre en un clin d’Ɠil ; le pauvre peut s’élever trĂšs haut. Cette vision encourage une certaine bienveillance envers les pauvres

So one of the important pieces of grad school for me is that I've learned to deal with the new reality of my life and who I am. So I wanted to share how I've learned to adapt to all of these challenges. #1 with any mental health challenge is seeking help. #noshame
Getting help for mental health issues in #gradschool can be hard. There are so many people needing help and often just not enough resources. Wait-lists can be long on campus. Going off campus can be really expensive on small already stretched budgets.
I got counseling when possible which was vital, but also sought out other options. @UFGatorWell was a great program that isn't a mental health service, but has academic wellness coaching which helped me make strategies, make a plan, and start working.
