Please stop giving villains in books messy teeth or skin conditions or scars or disabilities. And don’t make them short and/or fat either. It equates disability and/or fatness with evil. And publishers should be questioning + addressing these things in the editing process.

The Respiratory Therapist has been extremely busy attending to very sick children in the ER. So many kids, all under 5yrs old - gasping for air, with chest retractions, & lots of crying. It doesn't take much to protect our little ones you know? Just #BringBackMasks & #WearAMask

The translation exhaustion in dealing w/ so many non-Indigenous folx over the last few weeks has been unreal.

The constant demand for emotional labour (time & energy) can be incredibly dehumanizing.

Indigenous women are grieving community. Sisters. Mothers. Aunties. Kin. /1

The @OCT_OEEO is living in a whole new economic reality to blame a 17.5% fee increase on inflation. This is on the heals of a 13% increase only 2 years ago. Between these fee increases and the appalling service provided there is clearly problems with the organization. #onted

AWESOME: Ontario’s 5 largest healthcare unions have joined forces to warn the public that the Ontario government is intentionally manufacturing our current massive healthcare crisis…to justify privatization.

Who else agrees with them? ✋🏾

Germany is deporting Afghan and Syrian refugees to make room for Ukrainian refugees

Do they understand that activism can actually do something more than make messes?

Quick reminder that while we celebrate Canada's men's program our women's program has been to eight FIFA World Cups and won Olympic gold and have set the international soccer tone in this country for quite some time.

If Black and brown people are telling you something is racist and your response is you haven’t seen anything racist, you should pause and reflect on why you’re unable to detect racism and why racism is so normalized to you (in addition to denying our lived experiences)

On International Children's Day: Being a child in occupied Palestine

#InternationalChildrensDay2022

[Karyn RN @KarynRN4]

Today when you send your children to school, do you wonder if their class will be evacuated? This happens in all schools due to lack of funding for services and it affects ALL students. #VoteNo #IStandWithCUPE

[Sami Abou Shahadeh @ShahadehAbou]

Seems this #WorldcupQatar2022 is being used by western nations as an occasion to care about #HumanRights. Amazing news! You’re all welcome to hold Israel accountable for violating every single UN resolution concerning #Palestine.

[Joy Henderson (she/her) 🇵🇸 @Joyhenderson78]

Stop asking me to sign petitions, harass the premier, send stern emails to my MPP to oppose a majority Conservative government and start organizing large scale action to shut the province down. Because the letters phone calls and petitions didn't work the first four years.

[Black Trans Travel Fund @BlkTransTravel]

Trans Day of Remembrance is not a happy holiday for us. Each year we’ve had to spend thousands of dollars to help pay for burial transport arrangements of multiple Black trans women who were murdered. We do this through our Homegoing Fund, one of our little known about programs.

Hi! This is me, the cancer patient that Donald Trump blocked on Twitter while trying to strip away our health care. But now Trump is coming back.

I'm at 52k followers. Can you RT & follow me to help get to 60k this weekend? Don't let them silence us.
