Seeing a lot of friends & parents worried about #Western students in their lives on here. Note: 71% of post-secondary students across Canada have witnessed or been subjected to sexual violence, this isn't just one school. A thread of a couple ways you can do to support survivors.

Thousands gather on UC hill at Western University to demand university’s action for protecting students. They are chanting “stop this violence, no more silence.” #MMJC7daysawek

“#Euphoria,” HBO’s star-studded teen drama, is back for its second season, and so is the debate over whether the show is an accurate depiction of modern high school life. Teens in Toronto and the GTA helped settle it: thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…

if you actually cared about kids you should probably put more funding into schools, health care, shelters, foster care, and food programs, not force people who don't want kids to have them
