You know what they ALWAYS say... You can't spell "PIGEON" without "PIG"! Happy Pig Day, Piggie!!! 💗 #NationalPigDay

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN. I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them. I want to remind you of something. Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship. Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily. And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have? She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there? Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley? Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in? AND DID YOU KNOW … That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression. WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD. Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight. DO BETTER PEOPLE. Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space. Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

@jackielconnell Congrats Jackie! You will be an amazing advocate for the children.💕

Am thrilled to share that I am both truly and completely honoured to be assuming the role of Assistant Deputy Minister of Indigenous Excellence in Education at the end of January ♥️. It’s a responsibility I will not take lightly. #Mbteachers

From the literal experts ⬇️

Couldn’t be more thankful for the positive energy I'm feeling from people across the province – and the messages of support for our team. Manitobans are ready for change!

Rant and 🧵1/The Pallister-Stefanson regime just announced their plan for education and are framing it under the guise of "parental rights". So, Bill 64 aimed to take away parents' rights by eliminating school trustees - whom are elected by parents and answer to them. Now...

Ryan Gosling as geese. A thread.

Hey minister @minewasko . Are you wondering what temperature it is in classrooms across Manitoba? Has anyone let you know about Manitoban students have fainted or gotten heat stroke at school? Have you even considered the intersections of poverty in schools without AC?

I’m proud to be part of a team which stands on the side of human rights. Not only do we condemn homophobia, transphobia and biphobia but we will continue to STAND UP and TAKE ACTION to affirm the rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. #IDAHOBIT2023

Letter in Winnipeg Free Press; April 22, 2023.

It's The Pigeon's Bird-Day! Mo's first book was published 20 years ago today and kids and former kids have been yelling "NOOO!" ever since. To thank you for your gift of reading and re-reading, The Workshop has made some GIFs for YOU. Find them on @GIPHY! - The Workshop

By 2nd grade stdts who add /uh / at the end of consonants phonemes have this habit so ingrained that it is a painstaking process 2 unlearn. It is particularly so for our most vulnerable learners.It breaks my heart that this type of error falls squarely, on us.

We simply, desperately, urgently need better and more sustainable education funding in Manitoba.

At the request of elders we will now refer to the unidentified Indigenous woman murdered by the serial killer in Winnipeg as ‘Buffalo Woman’ instead of unidentified woman. Until her name is found, we honour her. kitotimnaw (our relative)

@MetisMamaMB Congrats!🎉

THANK YOU!!!!
