“Will my child be safe at school today?”

No parent should have to ask this question.

The Gaza Health Ministry hasn’t updated its toll from the fighting in days because it can no longer reach the hospitals collecting the dead and wounded.

The tally was stopped on Friday at 11,078, but it’s estimated that thousands more have since died. https://t.co/DWaWAJbGGF

Ford's shortchanging of #OntEd is making headlines again!

30% of principals say they use “unqualified adults” to tackle staff shortages in schools. Students have been sent home & classes cancelled in order to deal with this govt's staffing crisis. #OSSTF

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

The ultra-conservative right has organized nationwide events under the pretext of protecting children, while their true aim is to protest the teaching of 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools.

Our mission is clear: to counter these protests and demonstrate unequivocally that there is no place for hate within our society. We shall stand together, resolute in our commitment to combat lies and misinformation while championing love, care, and respect.

We are calling upon every CUPE Ontario member to take action, sign up for a protest near you using the link below, and actively spread this message within your community and local union. Mass participation in these protests is essential to our cause.

You can RSVP for the protests via this link: https://t.co/HjooYwQ6Z2

Together, let's make our presence felt, countering false rhetoric, exposing lies, and proudly declaring that Canada has no tolerance for hate or discrimination. We stand as a united front, strong and unwavering in our commitment to a society built on love, understanding, and acceptance.

Watch this and let it sink in: a protester, not police, is directing traffic amid chaos in the capital of Canada. #cdnpoli #ottnews

Still clipping away. Barely put a dent in the 3 bines of #Cascade hops...

Made it through @theacorn's fantastic 'Vieux Loup' and #NowPlaying @Youngfathers 'Cocoa Sugar'

There might be a #STARBEAST on deck to take over for Woland.

Now: @silkken_wav releases its final album ANCHORS , a synthy escape to marinas, salty waves and peeling skinburns that somehow conjures up images of the Careless Whisper video (maybe that's just me) Rolf Klausener @theacorn talks about it next (not Careless Whisper,the album)

@tigermountainbk I, for one, welcome this new era of whimsy. I couldn't handle another 4 years of rage-texting my buds.

@GoldenSeals Fully micro-cringed. I blame nerves.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Kamala Harris is the first woman, the first Asian American, and the first Black American vice president. Her ascent is a reflection of what’s possible, @jemelehill wrote in November. But it does not necessarily represent a new reality for women of color.

I know we've got access to more recorded music than at any point in our civilization, but sometimes I REALLY just miss BRAVE NEW WAVES.
