carla ciccone - Nowhere Girl

My pal @cciccone.bsky.social has a book coming out soon on women, ADHD and the impacts of late-in-life diagnosis.

I don't have ADHD and I still devoured this book because it's brilliant, heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny, and such a powerful example of misogyny in health care.

Order it!

Like many students in Ontario, my kids can't access their school library on a regular basis due to budget cuts/board decisions that were influenced by a lack of funding from the provincial government. Reading is important. Elementary schools need teacher-librarians. PLEASE VOTE. #NotFord #OntEd

I have not become completely numb; I can still be shocked by some depths of depraved sadism inflicted by this collection of despicable thugs, giggling sociopaths, and dead-eyed apparatchiks. May their days be short and frustrated.

Trump to pause promised tariffs for 30 days after speaking with Trudeau | CBC News Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days.

Psst. The Liberals had previously announced this beefed up border plan a whiiiiiiiile ago ago but now Ivanka's dad gets to act like this is a win for him.

Absolute fucking theatrics. Just a school yard bully being enabled by everyone around him.
