“Psychological safety”at work means the freedom to experiment with ideas, be creative, disagree, take risks, & challenge orthodoxies, without fear that doing so will get you fired. Pretty much the opposite of a safe space.

@paultadich Can you let us know some of your favourite brands and flavors? TO's creme de la creme, perhaps?

This is Harvey. It's his job to make sure the ocean is still on. He has confirmed the air is adequately salty and the waves are working. Another successful day on the job. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

[Harold Bloom Quotes @hbloomquotes]

I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.

This is Benny. He fell asleep during his guide dog initiation photoshoot. 12/10 we still think he has what it takes

@CP24 Shameful, but sadly unsurprising. Toronto needs to do so much better with its recreational and civic amenities which are abysmally "maintained." I'll miss the 50m pool this summer, crumbling though she was...

This is Aldo. He is Ecuador’s first dental assistant dog. He’s an emotional support pup with special skills that allow him to stay with children during their appointments. He helps reduce their stress, increase their trust in the dentist, and reinforce their self-esteem. 14/10

That song “We’re Not Gonna Take It” came out almost 40 years ago but I feel like we have, in fact, continued to take it.
