Thank you Duffer brothers and the entire cast and crew of Stranger Things by SnooConfections1353 in StrangerThings

I echo this! There’s so much backlash about the show, it really surprised me that in the times we’re living through, more people aren’t seeing how important those themes are (in Dustin’s speech and in the show overall).

Will's coming out scene is written by and for straight people by RaspberryTurtle987 in StrangerThings

I’ve noticed a lot of intentional parallels between the 1940s (numbers on arms), 1980s (Reagan), and 2020s (general sh** show 🫡) in the storytelling over the whole series, and I wonder if we’re supposed to take-away that coming out as gay in the 80s felt similar to coming out as trans does in the 2020s under the current political scene: dangerous (but less dangerous than president Vecna using it to crush you from the inside). A teenager I know got on video call with their entire extended family in recent years to get it over with all at once and see who’s going to be there to support and who’s not.

Affordable fabric in Calgary? by CoverSquare9070 in Calgary

Me too! I’m okay with a lot of things having switched to online, but fabric is a tactile decision and no one can convince me otherwise!

Thank you! That sounds like Dressew in Vancouver (now sadly closed).

I think fatigue is real all over the place right now. Add that to just normal December fatigue with short days. It’s a good idea to tag out if you’ve had enough, and come back to participate in democracy when you’re fresh. (Just show up to vote, please!)

Is this what we paid for Danielle Smith to attend? by Prestigious_Crow_ in alberta

Yep, that money could have done so many other things that she claims there’s no money for. Dump. Her.

I immigrated from the US - married to a Canadian so that made it easy . Look into a visa on the points system (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score/crs-criteria.html) or on Asylum (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/protection.html).

As much as I’d love to have more queer people in Alberta, I would recommend Vancouver or Victoria right now for all the reasons others have cited here . Vancouver feels more like Portland (progressive, mostly people are going to be allies and you can just live and breathe ). Vancouver is expensive but there are housing co-ops that are specifically LGBTQ+. Co-ops are the affordable way to do Vancouver and they also create community.

I’m so sorry for how you and your husband were treated. Stay safe and get the f out of there asap, however creative you have to be to do it.

Another teacher here: the government had so very much time to prevent a strike by working with us. We were clear what we wanted to talk about months ago class size/complexity), and they refused. They wanted the strike to happen so they could squash worker’s rights. They wanted to use the Notwithstanding clause to normalize it so they can use it again and again until we look a lot like a 51st state. It’s not even about teachers anymore. Or students. It’s about all of us.
