Users have experience with existing patterns from prior experiences with them. When we violate those patterns, it can create chaos. #UX #design

“For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?”

bell hooks reminded us, “To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students.” We will remember those words and move them forward.

BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.

In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 27 times since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you’re not outraged, you’re just not paying attention.

This image captures the issue with linear thinking in the context of nonlinear transformation. We look for an immediate beneficial result for every action we take, when we need to make prolonged investments with little results before reaching a tipping point & exponential change.

Today, our palliative care team met a man in a shelter who was called "non-compliant" because he wasn't taking his meds.

We developed trust & learned: He didn't know how to read…so he couldn't read the labels on his pill bottles.

When we listen more, we can care better. 🙏🏾

Speechless. Who do you call when the police are your attackers? Where do you live when the police rip your home to pieces? Who are we as a nation when we treat our most vulnerable in this way? #Encampment #TorontoPolice #DefundThePolice
