Every Saturday, Katherine and her mother, Frances, share a cherished routine: thrifting, browsing the hardware store and working side by side on their intricate miniature-house projects. From England to Hong Kong to Calgary, and finally to Whitehorse, Yukon, they’ve built a full and joyful life together defying the lifelong doubts others cast on what a child with an #IntellectualDisability can achieve.

Directed by Jessica Hall, Saturday is a tender tribute to the filmmaker’s sister and mother, blending present-day moments with intimate home movies that trace their #immigration journey and family history. With warmth, creativity and quiet resilience, the film celebrates Katherine’s independence and the powerful bond between mother and daughter. It offers a moving sense of hope—for every child whose unique qualities are seen, supported and nurtured.

Voluntarily exposing yourself & your kids to covid or measles doesn't help build up immune systems. It actually makes them weaker & more susceptible to catching more viruses.

What blows my mind is the cognitive dissonance some parents have. I'm talking about parents who support aborting babies who they find out will be born with disabilities. They're the same ones who are OK exposing their non-disabled kids to preventable death/disabilities! It's a serious WTF.

*It's mostly Christo-Fascist types who are against abortion, unless it's aborting a disabled baby. They don't seem to have issues aborting babies who may be born with one or more disabilities.
