@MRT1N_ I have been blocked entirely from being the parent volunteer for my kids school’s “gay straight alliance”.
Maybe it was because my email mentioned how the name of their club wasn’t inclusive of the community they’re “trying” to support.

@RobButler Way back when, I worked 4X10 with the Wednesday off. It was… THE DREAM! Never work more than 2 days in a row, and no feeling of catching up from the beginning/end of the week rush. Highly recommend!

@FitNerdyChick @MavenOfMayhem @DymondBricks will def pump you up!

[Jess Vis (she/elle) @JesssVis]

@MavenOfMayhem But… are you ok? Are you ok, *Mandy?

@AnneCast7 @AmandaBernardo I wish! My job takes such a mental toll on me that I basically sleep Sat/Sun (don’t worry! I make sure my kids are fed! But they’re old enough to prepare their own snacks). I know this is a Poisson d’avril, but legit, give me Wed off. I’m already doing 10+ hrs a day…

@PatSuwalski @StaceyCan3 @Kel_eh @justinegbell @OCDSB @LyraEvansOtt @SchoolZone6 @MarkPFIsher @schwartz_ottawa @WendyHough14 @trustboothby @KeiththeTrustee No, the travel that most families do during March break, when they drive, likely within province, to their destination. Nothing that requires PCR tests. “Travel” does not have to mean some resort, some out of country destination. With your assumption, your privilege is showing.

@JonWardo @cmckenney @ArielTroster I know of the (kinda broken down) ones at the forest by Nepean sportsplex, and the mooney’s bay one (super good!). I don’t know of any in centre town though… or, any downtown at all

Ok Benjamin Bratt still looking good! I feel like I haven’t seen him in a very long time (totally my fault, I’m sure!)
But add @ava to the mix? Friends, I am watching this!Ava DuVernay is such a beacon of hope for the whole entertainment industry ❤️

[TODAY @TODAYshow]

We’re catching up with actor Benjamin Bratt to talk about his action-packed new series with a futuristic twist, “DMZ,” produced by Ava DuVernay (@ava).

@MProvost26 @worldofabe While I love this as a goal, and hope for it as a participant… as someone who organizes it all, and needs to get ALL the approvals, sending it even 2 days before is often tricky. #AspirationalGoals

@Jen_MacDougall One of the hardest things is that we can’t see people’s schedules if they’re not in our department. It’s basically a crap shoot booking with people outside my dept. I also have recurring meetings booked for admin stuff throughout the week. So, Thursdays is filing emails, etc.

@DawnSev @RobButler Whaaaat??? This changes my perspective! I always thought his look was more like a prison warden from the 50s/60s! Not in a bad way because he is such a kind human!
Now I’m picturing him skanking like a good ska performer… and I love it!

@AmandaBernardo I joined the GoC with my married name. Changing back to my maiden name after separation was not easy and, TBH, kind of traumatic 🤷‍♀️

@AalyaDhanani Ahhhh!!!!! Super big exciting news! Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉

[Jess Vis (she/elle) @JesssVis]

I introduced my kids to @jimmyfallon’s classroom instruments on YouTube…
First comment:“isn’t this Ice Ice Baby?… oh wait! I know this! So good! I even know words!”
Me:“you know Queen already! For many reasons!”
Mandela: “yes! Such a great old song!”
Me: well crap! I’m old 🤦‍♀️

@cmckenney Rush hour from Barrhaven and back is as busy as pre-pandemic times… transit is empty. So folks like me would rather spend on gas/parking 1-2 times a week than pay for transit. Raise fares and it will only get worse 🤷‍♀️
