Ready to disrupt racism in all forms!
Joined October 2013
In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks

Elon Musk stole your land, and now he owes you $100.

Today, I visited Anima Mundi, part of the Vatican Museum with Indigenous “artifacts” kept in the Church’s private collection. There is an “Ontario”pipe stove from the 18th century, Haida Gwaii masks from the 18th Century, much more. I photographed them and was asked to leave.

The name of #VladimirPutin will be forever associated with crimes of cruelty and savagery. #Bucha, #Mariepol and countless others will enter our consciousness and be linked to his name until the end of time. No armistice or treaty will change this. His fate is sealed.

What was once one of the biggest icebergs ever seen has met its end in the South Atlantic. Called A68a, it was nearly 800 feet thick in its prime before it thinned so much that it broke into small pieces that drifted off to nothingness. https://t.co/sYvzDks4Ck

I had a student who never turned on his camera because he was experiencing homelessness. I had another student who was sharing a two bedroom apartment with a total of 7 family members. I had another one who was living in an unfinished basement. So check your privilege.

Last year, @HCDSB Trustees failed to listen to their students and their community and #FlyTheFlag. As a community, we came together to share our message of LOVE. This year we need the Trustees to make the *only* right choice and FLY THE FLAG! Pls sign & share!
On Jan18, @HCDSB Trustees will vote on flying the #Pride flag at schools. Sign this letter. Tell the trustees to correct last year's mistake and to vote in favour of @TrusteeAgnew's motion. Share it. Help send a message that can't be ignored. Choose love. https://t.co/f9XZXowMfu

Another great thread from an actual authority on child mental health.
Not to directly contradict a major society in Canada, but BC has not been experiencing a spike in suicidality, emergency mental health presentations, or severe MH admission rates during periods of school closure. In Feb to May 2021, with schools fully open here, yes, yes we did.

BREAKING: In just 48 hours, the number of LTC residents infected with COVID-19 has jumped from 571 to 1,053. Almost 2,000 LTC staff are now off sick & unable to work. This is ANOTHER humanitarian disaster. So why isn’t the Ontario government calling in the military?!

Sidney Poitier, who has died at age 94, was modest about his career, despite his role in changing American perceptions of race and opening the door to a new generation of Black actors. https://t.co/NCYi7kj13i

Hey doctors, nurses, HCWs on twitter - please retweet the below if you think it could help increase vaccine uptake in children. If you feel that the message could be improved, please let me know how.
Betting your kids won't be affected by Covid? Improve their odds. Vaccinate your 5+ year olds ASAP.
