I've written a bit of a reflection of the questions I'm asking these days, and what life is like, running a theatre (from home, without a theatre) and living with my beloved who works on the front lines of the pandemic. https://t.co/u9ybsniNJ1 via @buddiesTO
Only 90 secs allowed to say THANKS to our Arts & Culture sector, who have provided us with so much healing during #Covid19. Got tongue twisted, but this is clear: artists r struggling & going into debt. Some arts venues will not reopen. Ford must do more to help! #onpoli
Call the Mayor and let him know that there must be a clear commitment to defund the police by a MINIMUM of 10% and to reinvest that money into community-led policing alternatives.

@JustinTrudeau@s_guilbeault CERB has been a literal lifeline for artists in the performing arts, and we need this lifeline extended as our industry will be among the last to get back to work. #extendCERB self employed artists can’t access EI. #UniversalBasicIncome
@JustinTrudeau, @s_guilbeault please extend CERB. The performing arts industry will be among the last to be able to return to work due to Covid-19. Self employed artists cannot access EI. Your support is now vital. @CdnActorsEquity@stratfest
Rest in Power Larry Kramer. Will never forget the @stu180theatre production of The Normal Heart @buddies many years ago, in the round, weeping and watching the whole audience weep together.
Breaking News: The writer and activist Larry Kramer has died at 84. His work to shock the U.S. into seeing AIDS as a public health emergency helped shift policy in the 1980s and '90s.
“One of America’s most valuable troublemakers,” Susan Sontag called him.

The Conservatives privatized it. Mike Harris became CEO of the biggest company, paid millions. And they eliminated regulations and inspections. Perhaps Conservative ideas and actions are the problem.
No tourists in #Japan? No problem. Deer herd moved into Nara Park, fully enjoying its Cherry blossoms 🌸.
An estimated 1000 🦌 in the park this year. Breathtaking:
Brilliant: Newcastle, UK, releases a ‘pro-city’ plan to create a walking and cycling network to connect every school, to every park, to every local shopping center. Culling parking from the streetscape is one of the key ways they are going to do it.
Gearing up for Pride month, we're launching a queer pen pal exchange!
A chance to share some thoughts about what Pride means to you; to exchange some queer life stories and experiences; to write about what things are like right now for you.

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, just a reminder: not all families are heterosexual. So in referencing #MothersDay to children during your #COVID19 pressers please speak of parents instead of exclusive 'mom & dad' references that erase #LGBTQ families and moms. #COVID19
