I just got off the TTC bc a man who clearly fell through whatever "safety net" we have left in this city/province/country decided to whip it out. I was with my kid. On the first, very crowded streetcar in 20 minutes. I do not want this person arrested. I want a better city.

Hey look: Toronto just got the six-month report from the non-police Community Crisis Support Team pilot and 78% of calls were diverted without involving police. Imagine if we gave that a $50 million raise. Instead, it's an increase of maybe $3 million*.

A lot of white allies in academia claim to be an ally, until they are asked to share their "power" in a given project, grant, etc. I helped a group of white professors write a grant & one of them flipped out on me via email when I asked her to write me down as a CO-PI.
