Struggled with being gay or BISEXUAL. The attorney who assessed Hernandez is not a psychiatrist, and he’s gay from an older generation, so there is some implicit bias there. The same goes for the college girlfriend. Neither are qualified to assess The emotional and psychological struggle of a young man struggle with…

This is such dangerous bullshit

FYI, the choice of Viola Desmond may have been due, in part, to calls for better representation... but it’s certainly not about our country apologizing for its racism. The criteria was to get a great Canadian woman on the bill... there is no effort on the politicians’/bureaucrats’ end to specifically apologize for any…

I’m an Aussie, so this is not my money, but I love it! I think the format is really interesting, and I like the colour.
We have had brightly coloured notes with holgrams for some time, but are gradually going through a process where our notes are having braille and clear sections added as an additional security…

Now we just need to deal with the racist present and we’re good.

That’s not about apologizing for racism. That’s about being representative, since many of the Canadian white women have already been honoured.

I’m not sure how I feel about the vertical layout of the note. I don’t think I like it. That’s not how anybody’s wallets are configured, and it’s going to be so strange when stacked with other denominations.

It’s nice that the Bank of Canada has changed their Twitter header to a picture of this bill.

Nova Scotian here (the province where Viola Desmond was from) Just a couple things: I don’t think Canada put Viola Desmond on the $10 to apologize for racism. The Bank of Canada asked for nominations for a woman to honour on our currency, and a lot of people were suggested (the Famous Five, Therese Casgrain, Agnes…

I read an article once (unfortunately, I can’t remember the title or author now) that explained it well: A lot of guys who watch this kind of porn are angry that they can’t get “hot girls” to have sex with them. So watching violent porn fills two needs: the fantasy of having sex with an attractive woman and the…
