…..in ‘astonishing’ twist”

Holy fuck.

No, I mean HOLY FUCKING HELL FUCK and I mean it in a GOOD WAY.

Maysie’s kinda shocked and stunned at the moment.

Well, I take it all back then. It’s not the “fucking” election anymore.

It’s the “Wow, something different might actually happen. Not just on election night but afterwards, and have amazing implications for the NDP and Canada” election.

Like, wowza.

10 Conversations on racism I’m sick of having with white people

Super wow.

#4 has a particular impact for me, given my recent experience in a part-time employment context in which I was forced/compelled to leave. This is an employer who is known as a lefty organization. Grrrr.

Bold added.
