I think I found the guy who started that group 😂😂

My guess is that someone had to do this as part of an expensive Instagram-based self-improvement scam.
Or is launching their own IRL

The questions are hilarious.

Ewwww

I've always felt bad for the many people in the town who thought this was trouble all along, I think the desire for this to be a real option was born and out of a lot of economic frustration and desperation.

I may have to go through my downloaded Twitter archive to find where I posted that meme several years ago when I heard about it for the first time. I feel vindicated.

Had one child in 2012, second one in 2022. The difference blows my mind, I don't know how we did it.

I know it’s a bummer to say so, because everyone loved having a winter with way less snow and rain in NL, but now the ground is so dry that we have multiple forest fires in early May. A direct consequence of climate change, and a scary start to a long fire season.

I overheard some conversations at soccer practice tonight that would make your skin crawl.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The fact that the Conservative party is trying to openly advocate for the restriction of what university researchers can and can't study, should be incredibly concerning for everybody.
Restricting higher education based on your political or religious ideology is basic fascist stuff.

We will make national parks and historic sites free for all Canadians this upcoming summer.

Managing a school is a team effort and Assistant/Vice Principals are a key part of that team. They work tirelessly to bolster teachers, motivate students, and create a positive learning community. A big thank you to all our VPs across NL #NationalAssistantPrincipalsWeek #APWeek25

Change is in the air…The people are fed up and the uprising is coming. We can’t and won’t bend the knee to a bunch of billionaires.
Don’t give them any of your money for starters. Hit them where it hurts…in the only thing they care about …their wallets @theonecalledjai.bsky.social

What the Assault on Public Education Means for Kids with Disabilities The future of the Department of Education may hinge on the world views of two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

If you're wondering about the playbook right-wing folks are using a Newfoundland, you can read a lot more about it here.

Clearly you are much better at being online than I am.

The same crop of local Nazis and bigots who implicate themselves into anything they perceive as an emotional issue. Losers.

I'm DONE with being quiet and tolerating/ignoring those who wish to attack teachers and schools in Newfoundland. It's always the same crowd of fascists and bigots.

It should be very clear right now that this type of extremism needs to be confronted directly.

Canada should now do what many have suggested to hit back against the US with non-tariff measures: jailbreak all American tech and stop enforcing US copyright in Canada.
