@1000currents Apply critical race lens and address how philanthropic practices are inherently oppressive and follow a "saviour" complex. Ensure assessment committees reflect the target populations. Create pathways to end anti-Blackness & anti-Indigeneity in the sector. #RedefinePhilanthropy

Belgians,they used to cut off your hand or your child’s hand if you didnt fill your quota for the day. They sell “chocolate hand” candies today. If you dont think that’s absolutely DIABOLICAL then i don't know what to tell you.

I still can’t wrap my ahead around how a GROWN adult in university could think it’s okay to hold a slave auction event & think that’s okay. Now, that same man is running the education system in Canada’s largest province. You really can’t make this ish up, eh.

It's “essential workers” when they need you, but “low skilled workers” when you need them.

PSA: Everyone’s first day back at work is basically the January 10th. This week folks are just trying to get organized, make sense of their inbox, and finish their vision boards. So, everybody chill.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Let's get one thing straight: The Ontario government's decision to shorten the COVID-19 isolation period to 5 days without also providing workers with free N95 masks, rapid tests & adequate paid sick days is a business decision, not a public health decision.

Canada needs a Chief Nursing Officer.
The Ontario Science table needs a nurse. There's absolutely no way to discuss anything healthcare related without a nurse.

Listen to nurses. Nurses know.

As a first generation college student, bell hooks was the first writer I encountered via academia whose work I was able to enthusiastically discuss with friends and fam *outside* academia. My mom and I read bell hooks together. I’ll always cherish the way her work bridged shores.

“Love is an action, never simply a feeling” ― bell hooks

We mourn the tremendous loss of bell hooks. A woman of great compassion, courage, & extraordinary intellect. Thank you for always putting your love for Black people in action - for challenging us to imagine a bolder future
