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.

"The pay gap doesn't exist"

"Trans people don't make less than cis people"

Oh, really? Image
“Women overall are paid 87 cents on the dollar compared to men on an hourly basis. But the gap is more severe for trans women.

The same survey found only 37 per cent of respondents were employed full-time.”

“LGBTQ+ workers earn about 90 cents for every dollar that the typical worker earns. LGBTQ+ people of color, transgender women and men and non-binary individuals earn even less when compared to the typical worker.”

Richard has either failed to read the declaration he’s signed, or he’s adopted the position of being anti-science and anti-human rights. I think it’s time for a breakdown thread…
The declaration states that signees are pushing for “all appropriate measures, including legislation, to modify or abolish existing laws, regulations customs and practices which constitute discrimination against women.’’

That seems fine, right?
Keep reading…
Signers also want “appropriate measures, including legislation, to ensure the full development and advancement of women, for the purpose of guaranteeing them the exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on a basis of equality with men.’’ Also fine, right?..

Here’s an article full of juice transphobic quotes from @maximebernier, which I will now break down in a 🧵, for anyone who believes they might have merit:

langleyadvancetimes.com/news/peoples-p…
In crafting that tweet, I discovered that @maximebernier has blocked me.
#GreatSuccess
Anyway, back to his quotes…

He starts out strong by saying “the @peoplespca believes that adults can identify with the gender they want and undergo whatever medical procedure they want in order to change sex. They must be respected and enjoy the same rights as every Canadian”

Does it make financial sense for most commuters to get an EV yet? Let’s use the Nissan Leaf and Versa as examples.

EV batteries have about a 15yr lifespan and cost about $5500 to replace, and commuters average about 20,000km/yr. 🧵
Cost of a Nissan Leaf = $45k
Cost of a Nissan Versa = $20k
Point at which an EV breaks even (assuming 20,000km/yr) = 8yrs
EV’s require less maintenance, so, if you’re buying new either way, and you drive more than 13,000km/year, you would save more money, in the long-term, getting a Leaf than getting a Versa and, with financing, you probably wouldn’t spend much more monthly in the short term either.

I’ve told @NDP candidates that I will shout my support for them from rooftops if they’re just able to tell me that they won’t let the party whip bully them into pushing forward legislation that furthers environmental damage, and still they stay silent.
Does this surprise me? No.

This isn’t a theoretical, this is what happens here in BC. We have a @bcndp government who ran a campaign where they convinced voters they were the party to vote for if you want climate action. They’re now destroying our environment.
Every single @bcndp MLA is complicit in raiding Indigenous lands, logging old growth forests, expanding LNG & fracking, flooding farm land, and the refusal to ban conversion therapy, because they stayed silent and allowed themselves to be whipped.

A big shout out to two local politicians who I know care deeply about our environment- @BonitaZarrillo & @LDupont4Poco! My only hesitation in supporting these two amazing people is the party they’re running for, because every party, except @CanadianGreens, whip their votes.
While the @NDP are my first choice for a whipped party and I struggle to support @CanadianGreens because of their leader and internal politics, I’m inclined to always look for candidates who are not whipped, and therefore won’t be pressured to abandon their principles.
The @NDP link themselves to the @bcndp and, as we’ve seen in BC, the NDP whip their candidates to avoid taking climate action and, in fact, push forward projects that further destroy our planet. They trample on Indigenous rights, and they refuse to ban conversion therapy.
