Yesterday I received one of the highest and most ancient honors in London, the Freedom of the City. But the celebration soured into an experience of indignity when upon arriving, I found that there was no ramp for me to access the stage. 🧵

Have you ever wondered “what would Princess Leia wear if #StarWars was set during WWII?” This Leia-inspired 1940s gown is the least practical and most expensive thing I’ve ever made… which is probably why it’s my favourite.

Hey @Safeway I’m giving you a last chance to respond before we dig in: Your entire system of “discounts” and “specials” requires apps, taking photos, scanning and so many other things that people like my blind mother can’t possibly participate in. By your own advertisements, 1/

I’m honestly pleasantly surprised by this?! Guess I can go turn on my kiddo’s air purifier so he doesn’t have an ice fog induced asthma attack in the night.

Thank you, Alberta! Your conservation efforts quickly reduced electricity demand and the risk of rotating outages. A special shout out to our System Controllers, industry partners and the Government of Alberta for keeping the power flowing and all Albertans safe and warm tonight.

We turned off/unplugged everything except a few nightlights and dug out some candles. Enjoying all the cozy vibes of a power outage with the benefit of furnace & internet by watching TV on a tablet in bed.

Serious questions: Anyone unplug their block heater after the emergency alert? Their EV?

This is the reason we have a shelter full of hurting, struggling 🌈 youth. This bigotry today means there will be kids in crisis tonight. Homophobia and transphobia kill people. Kill children.

Officials with a library in rural Alberta say they were forced to pull the plug on a drag reading event after staff were harassed and received multiple threats. calgary.ctvnews.ca/irricana-libra…
