@lisa_iannattone @Sue_Innovates @IPACCanada This letter reads like the worst pros/cons list of all time. Skin eruptions vs. permanent disability. Headaches vs. expensive hospitalization. Sweating vs. ohh...DEATH. Your position and guidance are the things doing harm. Not the masks.
@lisa_iannattone @Sue_Innovates As a cancer patient, @IPACCanada, I have 'very strong feelings' about not wanting to die from contracting a SARS virus in a health care facility that is spending a lot of time, effort, and money to prolong my life. The cognitive dissonance in that letter is shocking.
@nthlevel It is a deeply unsettling story. For me, mainly because it feels both horrifyingly fictive and realistically, deeply true. Machado is a helluva writer. I'll give it a re-read and we can chat.
I love your new veg and herb packages @leeandmarias. I got two on a whim. If anyone asks what to do with them, here are today's creations: a hot sauce with cayenne peppers, garlic scapes & shallot, guacamole with shallot, garlic & hot sauce, and a garlic scape pesto. #weโค๏ธlocal
I so wish Ontario had union leaders like Mick Lynch to take on government and industry. He rips through their bullshit with surgical precision. More importantly, this kind of union leadership unites workers; instead we're divided and scrabbling for our own piece of a shitty pie.
@ShaluMehta32 Wow! So deserved, Shalu. Here's hoping you'll return to the Great Lakes someday to shine a light on these issues. Your pieces in @thediscourse over the last two years have taught me a lot.
@SiddhantAdlakha Sholay! Introduced it to students many years ago when we did a genre study of westerns. They loved the relationship between Jai and Veeru and that sequence on the motorcycle.
@LFC you have been a personal beacon this season as the world burned around us. It's been a joy to be on the ride. A disappointing result but #ynwa โค๏ธ
@JANEMCARTHUR11 I think it's an escalation of commitment. When the twin moons of education & public heath support a 'return to normal' & push a cult of positivity, there's no space to enact solutions. Post happy social media pictures, deny bad things are happening, & ignore & shun the naysayers.
