In 2025, if you want to provide nonprofit affordable housing, you also have to provide advocacy and system navigation. The social safety net is dangerously thin and too many people are falling through the gaps. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The decline of my city's downtown core continues. I need cash in my pockets for the seriously destitute people out on the streets with nowhere to spend daytime hours or nights. 1500 homeless, probably 200 shelter/warm up spaces. Small businesses, libraries, restaurants can't carry this load alone.

They live here all year, so chickadees need to be very resourceful. In the warm months they eat mostly bugs but in the winter, lots of seeds and berries and every once in a while you'll see them eating meat from carcasses - a teeny member of Nature's Clean-up Crew! #birds 🌿

Most one-bedroom apartments in Saskatoon's lowest-income neighbourhoods are more than $850/month (utilities not included). People on Saskatchewan Income Support can't afford even the low-end of market-rate rentals and all of our social housing and nonprofit affordable housing is full.

Anyone know why Service Canada has a line up that circles the entire mini golf course at Market Mall in Saskatoon for the last two days? Kind of makes the term a great example of an oxymoron. No offense to the workers. Hire more please!

There are times when I feel my mental illness, my wild heart, & my word-work will always keep me from having a happy home. So I wrote these words to try to survive. Maybe they can help you, too. I long for the day when I can have a home and be a song, but until then, I will just keep singing.

Today's pet peeve. After 3 great years of a children's loft bed w/closet, storage and a desk within it, couldn't the designers make the components stand alone enough so that moving it to the next family doesn't require two men and five hours to disassemble and reassemble? Talking 2 u, Jysk!

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Today and everyday, trans rights are human rights. This #TDoR, it's never been more important to loudly express solidarity with communities under attack. And as fascism rises, we must not give them one inch. Trans rights are not up for debate.

There’s a volunteer organization in YXE that distributes masks to people who can’t afford them - I was able to pass on some that I couldn’t use because of fit, and they will find someone who can benefit at no cost.
