SEX, DRUGS & SANTA CLAUS

It's Friday, March 278th, 2020, and this is the longest thread we've ever written. Let that sink in.

So, we need to talk about how we're going to spend our holidays. Before we get into it, let's pause to appreciate being able to have this talk. (1/13)

[Shardul @shardulgo]

I’ve had this card from @dpatil, chief data scientist for @BarackObama up in my room for a long time and thought I’d share.

Dream in Years.
Plan in Months.
Evaluate in Weeks.
Ship Daily.

It applies to any and all industries. Thanks DJ.

Post-virus, I want a family vacation but I also want the family to go on vacation, without me, and then I'll go on vacation, without them.

Debbie Allen is an icon in at least 4 different fields and we don’t celebrate her nearly as much as we should.

How it started / how it’s going #cdnpoli

@liakiessling Happy birthday! 🤞

[Cops out of Schools @nocopsinschools]

Momentum from the over 2100 people calling for #CopsOutofSchools led to this motion being added to the @VSB39 meeting agenda for Monday! Sign the letter and contact your trustees to make sure they pass this motion!

[Kory Wilson @Korywilson]

Let’s remember that Sunday is Father’s Day but it also is Indigenous People’s Day. Father’s Day moves around but June 21st is always Indigenous People’s Day how do people forget? It doesn’t change & it won’t.

[Cops out of Schools @nocopsinschools]

Email the @VSB39 trustees to follow through on calls from over 1000 parents, students, and community members for #nocopsinschools at their meeting on Monday! Use this template letter - https://t.co/BoAd1LYIlQ

[Matthew Norris @MrMatthewNorris]

I encourage everyone to read and reread @DEWCVancouver Red Women Rising. This publication outlines a number of powerful recommendations to #defundvpd and #DemilitarizeThePolice #indigenousrights #vanpoli #bcpoli

[Emira Mears @emiramears]

Well this is a delight.

@janetmoo @MichelleHoar @heathertremain @asgibbs @jdubcon77 @_jackiewong @riospaty My current pile. Reading @kileyreid actively, Eden Robinson up next, dipping into @BreneBrown & @adriennemaree for guidance, Dutch House was a loaned distraction, and always and forever a Zadie Smith fan girl.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Reminder that we’ve taken progressive organizing straight into Trump country, rallied 5,000 people in the middle of a workday, and can do it again.

In time, not a single GOP seat should be taken for granted.

Wherever there‘s working people, we can win.🗳 https://t.co/1Mk4tr7TXI

A better future is possible and gives all the feels.

[The Leap @TheLeap_Org]

Thrilled to announce the launch of #AMessageFromTheFuture, a collaboration between The Leap’s co-founders @NaomiAKlein & @avilewis w/ @AOC, the great visual artist @mollycrabapple + team & our friends at @TheIntercept. Watch, share & get inspired! #GreenNewDeal #OurGreenDream

[Emira Mears @emiramears]

Only just got to the end of #Homecomingalbum on #Tidal (because work) & it took me straight into Work (Rhianna). Not in my regular rotation on TIDAL. Coincidence? Or editorial comment on the WORK that went into that masterpiece? Either way, here for it.

[Netflix @netflix]

The choreo. The dancers. The band. The precision. The dedication. The perseverance. The intentionality. The discipline. How can you not be inspired after seeing this film?

What a time to be alive.

To win climate justice, we need to oppose racism.

[The Leap @TheLeap_Org]

Did you ever notice that the same leaders denying climate change are the ones drumming up fear and hatred against migrants? Check out our new video on why the climate movement must fight for migrant justice to win the world we want. Voiceover by @thandienewton
