Waub going above and beyond to help my me inspire and provide advice for my students!!

[Waubgeshig Rice @waub]

If you have advice for this teacher and her students, please reply to her! I shared a few things in response, but I'm sure they'd love to hear from more Indigenous writers.

@imgrund A friend pointed out the “shocking” (92%) absent rate at my rural N.Ontario school on Friday. It was a Snowday and 100% of our students are bussed. The only people in the building were teachers. Without specific Covid data - the stats are useless.

One of the greatest tricks white supremacy ever pulled was convincing white ppl that white supremacy is a fringe extremist belief and not the bedrock upon which Western civilisation is built.

What’s “mild” for one person can be a death sentence for another. Our discussions of Omicron are steeped in ableism.

[Dominic HK Beaudry @DhkBeau]

It is.

Dear Canada. Please vote on Monday. And please look to what has happened in Alberta as a cautionary tale. The “economy” is not separate from health, education, and culture.

Began reading @cherie_dimaline “Marrow Thieves” with my grade 11s. I don’t know if I have ever had a more engaged class - they had good questions & wonderings. Best feedback “this book might make me mad, Miss”.

[Allison Green @DramaMomma]

@waub @scotinoz @delasarah When I taught your Moon of the Crusted Snow my students kept mentioning Alone. I got them hooked on your book - they got my husband and I watching the show! “The Beast” is another they mentioned that fits perfectly.

I'm really looking forward to new books this fall from Katherena Vermette, Lisa Bird-Wilson, Jesse Wente, Clayton Thomas-Müller, Dawn Dumont, Brian Thomas Isaac, Harold Johnson, Richard Van Camp, Cherie Dimaline, and Wab Kinew (although I've already read the latter two haha)

Today's #askyourcandidates First Nations, Metis & Inuit women & their families led the call for justice for Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women & Girls so why did the gov't just appoint a non-Indigenous man with no clear credentials in the area to head up the MMIWG secretariat?

[Allison Green @DramaMomma]

@waub Oooooh!! I read a number of the stories in the This Place graphic novel - I didn’t know cbc had a podcast!! Fabulous!

[Allison Green @DramaMomma]

Had a beautiful dream that @tantooC and @BuffySteMarie were visiting while I was beading… sorta disappointed to wake up. #keepbeading #inspired

@MacLeodLisa @ExploreON Thank you Minister for the much needed new support for the Arts + Festivals + Tourism. It's a very tough time. Your investment in Ontario's artists will enable our communities to thrive. @stratfest @fordnation

[Allison Green @DramaMomma]

@batesbot9000 Oh no!! But very true.

For @macleans I wrote about my life of learning in the shadow of Egerton Ryerson and the imperative of falling statues and changing names https://t.co/JUXpzWqyFX

[David A. Robertson @DaveAlexRoberts]

I have received more messages from people checking in on me to see how I’m doing than spam from trolls trying to cut me down, & I just want to say thank you. It means a lot. There are so many people doing emotionally exhausting work right now. Kindness and empathy go a long way.

[Allison Green @DramaMomma]

I found “The Hollars” under comedy on Netflix. On a night I deserved to celebrate finishing my report cards after the toughest year of teaching, when all I needed was popcorn, @johnkrasinski & a cheerful comedy!? I cried. Brilliant broken honest movie - but not a comedy.

[Drew Hayden Taylor @TheDHTaylor]

CNN's Rick Santorum: "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture"
Good to know.
Who's fault is that?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is how we are all interconnected. What we do, the choices we make, are not made in a vacuum. We must look out for one another, or we all suffer the consequences. Some refuse this lesson, but many more have learned it.
