"So my 7yr old nephew made this in school and some kid on the bus told him it looks nothing like the Bills logo. My nephew cried the whole way home. I’m asking everyone to share this, so we can show him all the love, and help him feel better... (cont)

We were on a plane yesterday and the guy next to us worked for a mining company. His internal documents (which were clearly visible) discussed the water that would be “treated afterwards” and it basically said “the water will be clean, but it won’t really be clean.”

Dear white parents with babies or toddlers, please buy your little ones Black and Brown baby dolls. You're not doing them a favor when all they see is whiteness. Tell your babies how beautiful that Black or Brown doll is. Introduce your babies to story books with diverse people.

Today I had to spend part of my day writing letters to Indigenous Service 🇨🇦 to cover FreeStyle Libre for their rejection of a patient one month ago. Indigenous Peoples continue to have the highest rates of🦵amputations, dialysis, CV events, blindness, but $1700/yr is too much 🙄

Trigger ⚠️ One of the elders on our reserve shared @ 5-6 years of age, he had to help dig graves @ Blue Quills Residential School. Others saw new born babies being put in the broiler furnace alive - babies created by priests raping girls. Nuns were found to be on birth control.

People do not realize how dangerous this is. Most people will not be able to afford this, especially in catastrophic diagnoses. I echo my colleagues concerns here, many MDs will leave this province - more than already have. I would also consider this, even though this is my home.

Reposting from my friend Sylvia It’s always those Shoppers Drug Mart 🤭 Does this happen to other groups, or just Indigenous folkx? I once had to say to a security guard following me “If you don’t stop, I’m going to tell all the doctors to stop sending their rx’s here.” 😳

Why is Lily Gladstone winning a Golden Globe such a BIG DEAL? First off, she freakin earned it; secondly, NATIVES are being seen/recognized/acknowledged & that hasn’t happened much in Hollywood/media; thirdly, she’s upending the status quo, showing Indigenous
