@CAIS_Schools Mayor Nenshi calls us to how we are responding to the crises of the pandemic in our schools…this is a “wet clay” moment so how do we shape our future before it hardens again?

Great advice about US college applications with @jselingo tonight for our BSS families. “College is a staging ground for young adults; not the only one and not the last.”

@LDamour “There’s nothing that can fix the pandemic psychologically but we can buffer it. COVID is like a rainstorm and coping is your gear. Takes time and energy but it is worth it.” Dr Damour at @BishopStrachan today!

My white friends are shocked by where the white vote went. My friends of color are not. As a matter of survival the minority always understands the majority better than the majority understands itself.

Count the votes.

In the midst of this strange fall, take Heaney’s advice and head to a flaggy shore and watch the water glitter:

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter

This winter, journalist and organizer @Emilie_Ni will teach a course at @uStMikes on the complicated relationship between the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the media: #BLM https://t.co/ZEXOkxrW5H
