Was this the first time @edmontonjournal put menstruation on the front page? But @NoWomanWithout is the second #yeg non-profit formed recently to collect menstrual products (see also All Cycles YEG).
It's part of a growing global discussion #yegcc #ableg
edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
Women and trans folk in shelters aren't the only ones impacted. Low-income girls who can’t access enough products are likely to miss school. Any woman surprised by an unpredictable period in public faces a desperate scramble. #yegcc #ableg (2/...)
New York City made emergency tampons/pads free in schools, jails and shelters. @TorontosMayor declared last May 28 "Menstrual Hygiene Day" and several university campuses now stock backup product. #yegcc #ableg (3/...)

(Didn't ask @doniveson his plans 😏)
I puzzled about it for a week, loath to think I would side with adding more cost to business and government. But I can’t get over the similarity to toilet paper.

The only difference seems to be that roughly half the population needs it. #yegcc #ableg (4/...)
What @NoWomanWithout and All Cycles do is a band aid. Women, men and trans people are now welcome to participate equally in public life. Their basic needs should be considered in a public washroom
Link is here. Love to hear yr thoughts

Donation drop off locations are across the city, listed on the websites here:

All Cycles: allcyclesyeg.ca
No Woman Without: nowomanwithout.com

Jon Dziadyk flipped faster than a flapjack Thursday morning when news broke that the rookie councillor was asking taxpayers to foot two-thirds of the $67,000 bill for his executive MBA. #yegcc edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
“It was inappropriate. … I feel like I broke the trust of some of my constituents and colleagues” - @JonDziadyk on the use of office dollars for tuition. (2/...) #yegcc
But this also raises questions about how councillors prepare for a difficult job.
They vote on technical issues, rife with emotion and politicking, and jump between many complicated subjects in a matter of hours. #yegcc

Whose needs count the most: the person driving through a neighbourhood or someone living there?

Because did you know, the number of vehicles daily on Jasper Avenue and the number of people living in the neighbourhood around are roughly equal?

edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new… #yegcc
City of Edmonton officials released the final designs for the Jasper Avenue upgrade -- wider sidewalks and a tree-lined boulevard supported by 17 cubic metres of structured soil under the sidewalks to let the trees flourish into a canopy.
Construction starts 2020. (2/...) #yegcc
Sure, it's more investment in the core, not the north. But there's a lot of people in Oliver who pay taxes. The city estimates 10,000 new residents will join the existing 18,000 within the next 30 years. Already, the population is larger than the City of Beaumont. #yegcc

Edmonton rolled out a juicy bonus this month for local homeowners looking to upgrade windows, furnaces and insulation.

But I’ll let you in on a secret. No one thinks this is a silver bullet.

edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new… #yegcc #yeg #ableg
#yeg will top up the carbon-tax rebate by an additional 20% for furnaces, windows, insulation... (as it does for solar).
But the bump-up is expected to convince all of 300 homeowners to take action this year (that's 300 of 300,000 eligible properties).
#yegcc #ableg
More is needed and the math shows why.
Read details on the upcoming pilot to get homeowners access to low-interest loans, paid off on the property tax bill.

Also, can we fix how electrical bills currently discourage conservation? Thoughts?

This is The Word newspaper.
It’s a Hard Left publication published by a guy called Alan Davies aka Peter Loo.
This is the August edition.
It’s pretty bold dog whistle antisemitism. It’s not the first time this ‘newspaper’ has published a front page like this....
(Thread)
This was another recent edition. It asked ‘Which Side Are You On’ and presented Jeremy Corbyn and starving African children on one side and, prominently, a photo of the ‘Enough is Enough’ rally on the other. It was nakedly antisemitic.
2/
Mr Davies, the man behind ‘The Word’, was reported by @LabourAgainstAS to Labour’s compliance unit for a number of antisemitic messages he posted on social media (not just the ‘Which Side Are You On’ cover).
He was suspended.

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."
i'm starting this !

- do not reply to the thread, just rt w comment

- if you spot any similarities with other works, it is by pure coincidence as im not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
