Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. https://t.co/30LQbg26Q2

Lovely afternoon hearing @waub discuss his works. Nice to finally see him in person and not through a computer screen!

@heymrsbond Someone on tiktok used ChatGPT for a meal plan and grocery list. Seems like a very reasonable application for the tech that is wrecking my life!

@DanikaTipping With grade 11s, reading time was the same struggle. So, we took a vote about either sitting with friends and no phones, or assigned seats and 2 phone breaks. They picked no phones. If I see them, it’s no longer a debate to put in the basket and retrieve if needed. It’s helped.

[Casey Hackett @MrsHackett305]

Appreciated this thread and it inspired me to write my own. I really grappled with the idea of returning to exams. In the end, my department did, and there’s a few things I want to share, particularly with respect to my Grade 11 exam. 🧵

@KT_Koop @TrueNorthAid Hi Katie! I have some questions about the literacy fundraiser. Can you DM me?? Thanks!

Who else agrees that a single day sponsored by a corporation…is not a substitute for the free & equitable access to #mentalhealth care services that our governments should be providing for us every day? ✋🏽
