Virtual graduation bingo card: unprecedented, uncertain times, not typical, unusual times, challenging times. What joy! #UBCgrad

#UBCgrad a moment of silence is great, but what about actually rescinding John o’gradys honorary degree?

#UBCgrad Immediately transitioning from acknowledging the murder of 215 children in an act of genocide to then singing the anthem of the nation responsible for that genocide? Are you serious?

This is a tangible change, within city jurisdiction, that will result in more homes that more of us can afford. Homes for teachers, seniors, servers, cleaners & more.

The #housingcrisis requires more than good intentions. It requires action. Like this.👇🏽

one day you think you're young and cool and exciting, the next you're genuinely disappointed that you didn't get the long-form census

New COMMUNITY LEVEL DATA just released by the B.C. government continues to show the positivity rate above 20% in many of the poorer and less white areas of Surrey, while the number of people over 55 with one shot in those CHSAs is below 60%.

The thing about the "homelessness won't just be solved with housing because we also need to treat addiction and mental illness" argument is that you can't realistically treat addiction or mental illness if people don't have a reliable place to live and sleep.

How to earn $1 million by the age of 30:

- Cut out Starbucks
- Wake up at the same time every day
- Become a bootlegger in an effort to impress the woman you've spent the last 5 years idealizing, thus setting you up for the disappointment of discovering she's only human
- Hustle

please remember when you watch documentaries like seaspiracy to examine if it's being told from a colonizer mindset and take into account what indigenous voices are saying about it. I saw some speaking out about the anti-asian themes in it and now this.

I’m a white woman who lives in a non-“hotspot” neighbourhood. Was able to pre-book a vaccine appointment at a pharmacy a 5 minute walk from my house on my day off. This is what health disparity looks like. #CovidVaccine
