I allow them to feel fat while still demanding they provide evidence if they actually insist they are overweight.

I feel fat even when I’m in a healthy weight range; I think that is patriarchal social programming. I don’t think you can control how someone else feels. But when they start really getting down on themselves, I encourage them to either find evidence that they are overweight and then set goals to deal with it. Or, they can’t actually prove it (ie. They are healthy weight/waist) and then we deal with overcoming the social programming.

Not perfect, but it works for me and my partner. Mostly deals with accepting how we feel and making a plan about it.

I’m a bit shocked at the downvotes. The article brings up some valid criticism of how Carney treats people around him, even in the public eye, and how his actions are really speaking louder than his charming words of promise.

Then perhaps we all agree that quoting stats without the whole context present is misleading.

You could have written 47% opposed privatizing some of Canada Post, the larger percentage of that group. By choosing the smaller opinion group, you make it seem like the support for privatizing some of our public service is actually the more popular opinion, when it is not.

Amazing meme, 10/10, no notes.

Fair point. I’m speaking from a North American perspective, but others have pointed out they may be a native or long naturalized plant.

Ultimately, planting species that are from your local area is better for the native bees of of your area as they are adapted to them.

Thank you, I’ll look into that and consider the impact of it on my beliefs :)

This! Dandelion pollen does not contain all the amino acids necessary to support native bees. However, because they come up first and bees often become attracted to the first things they feed on, they can actually make bees addicted to them. Because they can’t meet their nutritional requirements with them, they die.

Plant native plants people!

More specifically, CPP back tracks on verbiage because new laws passed that don’t permit greenwashing and practices that don’t actually lead to net-zero. They never were going to hit a real net-zero, they just aren’t allowed to lie about it now.

I’m graduating at 29 after 6 years! When you are just out of high school, it feels so important to be in line with your peer group. As you get farther from that point, no one carries the same timeline anymore. It’s okay to take more time, and more importantly, it’s okay to fail a class.

Some of my classmates finished their masters before I even started!

He follows the Aaron Burr model: talk less, smile more. Don’t let them know what you’re against or what your for.
