Don’t order anything from @hudsonsbay Ordered a mattress in January, it never arrived on delivery date. Worst customer service ever, case escalated, no one ever contacted us. They have the money + mattress🤷🏼‍♀️ if it doesn’t arrive the second delivery date, then what?

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

Don’t blame educators.These decisions come from the top. The PD day was planned for Eid. They refused to change it. We will be at work or at home on an unpaid day if we can’t find childcare for our kids.

@OTIP_Insurance their updated government ID does not reflect either gender. This is harmful. Again, do better. Get off the rainbow train unless you’re actually willing to support these members or the LGBTQ+ community. If our government can do it. So can you.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@OTIP_Insurance Unless you’re Non binary? Your misgendering of my child is problematic. We have government ID that reflects as much. Do better OTIP

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@OTIP_Insurance please don’t say you actively support the LGBTQ+ community, especially during pride month, when you don’t even offer an option outside of male or female for non binary people through your company.

@queensu Vic Hall is out of control, 5 fire alarms in one night and the lobby trashed. Who monitors the residence? I’m all for kids having a good time, but they are defacing the building and disrupting everyone.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@ESL_fairy I love these but they are so expensive!

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@EarlGreyTea_pls @ElemCorral I ended the week with 15 kids in my class, and I had snot wiped on me several times 😬

@KashPrime My dad was 68 when he died of Covid this year.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@MrRuggero We have rotating cancellations in both public and Catholic boards where I live, my kids bus included 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

Guys it’s ok! We aren’t calling in Covid in schools anymore so it doesn’t exist 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@ThatEricAlper I mean… 😣

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@ElemCorral I had 18 of 26 K students today, one went home sick and several who were there also should have stayed home as they were clearly unwell.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

I would love to hear stories from Trans students who attend @queensu and what their experiences have been.Why doesn’t Queens allow you to use your preferred name? Why are people in residence ripping the pronoun signs off peoples doors?My trans kid isn’t exactly feeling welcome.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@MusingEducator In my board we don’t use the term Covid, it’s called an “infectious disease” and there is no timeline for being off and no policy of mask wearing when you return. #wedonttalkaboutcovidanymore

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

How are you all surviving twitter? Every time I login, I’m reminded of what a terrible state we are https://t.co/NS1OWVXNUQ’s down right depressing.

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

Exactly. I also have 4 in diapers this year which is an added twist to the chaos. Send help 🫣

[EdTrailblazer @EdTrailblazer]

Anyone who thinks having 30 kindergartens in one room is “stable” and “normal” needs to spend a day volunteering there. Pure chaos.

@Sflecce you need to stop saying these buzz words while doing absolutely NOTHING to improve education.

@johnrich My dad wasn’t vaccinated but he’s dead. He died of Covid this year at 68. I guess I’ll announce that too 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@queensu why do you not allow Trans students to use their preferred name on their student cards? Why bother asking on the application forms?

[Lou Tenant @TheLouTenant]

@MarenMorris My kid has every right to be here and to be themselves and I love and support them and worry about them all the time because of people like the ones you’ve spoke out against.They are 19 and on their way to university.Thank you for standing up against hate ❤️
