So proud of the ParriagGroup team for how they showed up and represented us at the Canadian Evaluation Society's BC Chapter Evaluation conference, and so grateful for the engagement the work sparked. We wrote a bit about our experience here:

Designing Social Policy Evaluation with Purpose Social policy evaluation is so much more than a checkbox or an obligatory technical exercise. It measures intent against impact and, when done right, it can shape decisions, set direction, and send a ...

Evaluation isn’t just a numbers game – it’s your organization’s strongest tool in learning, decision-making, and fostering equity. We wrote a bit about the role purpose plays in evaluation and how it shapes real-world impact.

Hey folks. I've been watching the world catch fire like may of us, and stumbled across this heinous action being taken by a Canadian company today.

Everything is still on fire. Despite
Your best efforts. In addition to living,

it is clear, that fire or not, you must
level up in what it means to thrive.
Right now, that means wrestling with
the truth in fact that everything is
not all your fault.

Love all the connection I am seeing these days at the community level. I honestly think that stopping to talk to that person who isn't my buddy but lives on my street is a great anti-hate strategy.

Pathetic moron. You only work as a cartoon. As a cartoon you would have the most vibrant hues, visually. Orange, yellow, blue (why always blue loser?). Visually.

Ugh.

Luv seeing all the post about the consumer blackout today.
We are cogs in that machine.
But that machine needs us.

Hey folks. While we are all focused on the "news" and the doom and gloom, @thefeministconvs.bsky.social is helping us find some joy.

Yasssssss to all the resistance.
To people showing up!
To judges administering the law.
Democracy works when people support it.
And I'm watching good people working hard now.
And yes I'm in Canada, but we've got people giving Nazi salutes here now too.
We need to keep at it.

And that's the way you create erasure, breed ignorance, support stupidity. And yet......the folks, events, stories, food, culture, beauty of equity seeking folks is still there. So try your best. We're not going anywhere.
