I’m excited to share that I’ll be publishing I COLOR MYSELF DIFFERENT, a children's book, with @KaepernickPub & @Scholastic on 4/5/22! #IColorMyselfDifferent is deeply personal to me & honors the courage & bravery of young people everywhere. Pre-order at https://t.co/0LpdyphIsD

We call on @JohnTory & the @cityoftoronto to #CancelCanadaDay. We hope councillors @BradMBradford & @PaulaFletcherTO provide leadership to show respect to the #715children & many more taken from their families forever.

We made a film about the future we deserve, forged in the fires in the streets, the forests, and the pandemic: A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair, with @GaelGarciaB, @opalayo, @NnimmoB. Artwork: @mollycrabapple. #MessageFromTheFutureII

Hello, 2021.

In case there was any doubt what this is about...

@jhalifax Incredible!

This is like being awake during your own surgery.

Sooooo... how long will it take for someone to digitally add dildos to this video? Why????

[Jen Leis @jen_leis]

I could only round up 25 bodies to photograph in my classroom so you'll have to imagine where I'd put 15 more. Oh, and their paintings and drawings and sculptures ... #cutshurtkids #nocutstoeducation #classsizematters

@deadinHalifax keeps these folks alive with his posts. His research and sharing keep us connected to the dead. I live on Coleman Ave in Toronto now and this makes me feel connected to Vincent and that event (researched it a lot at NSCAD) ❤️

[Dead In Halifax @deadinHalifax]

"Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbour making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye boys."

Vincent Coleman saved 300 lives with a telegram just before the Halifax Explosion. He is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Halifax. (1/2)

[Jen Leis @jen_leis]

@deadinHalifax C, you keep these folks alive with your posts. Your research and sharing keep us connected. I live on Coleman Ave in Toronto now and this makes me feel connected to Vincent and that event (researched it a lot at NSCAD) ❤️

[Sheila Colla, Ph.D @SaveWildBees]

My neighbourhood group is reporting 5-6 hr waits yesterday for #COVID19 tests at @MGHToronto @celliottability & @fordnation. The lines are full of kids sent home w/ symptoms. Is this what you were talking about in terms of being prepared for school reopening? #UnsafeSeptemberON

[Piya Chattopadhyay @piya]

Wondering if Ontario will make flu shots available at schools? Young kids (I think 7 and under) can’t get it at a pharmacy which means you have to go to a doctor, and they’re pretty busy already these days. Maybe the 700 nurses the govt hired for schools could administer?

[Central Tech Branch/OSSTF D12 @CtsBranch]

Hope the #ttc & #TorontoCityCouncil makes the best decision and implements a plan to designate a Jane bus lane. There's plenty of room on Jane St. Efficient public transit is good for people, business, & the environment. Win, win, win.

@nlo03943761 @calphonso Chaos for all was the intended result.

[Central Tech Branch/OSSTF D12 @CtsBranch]

Luckily, the MPP in our 'hood is @JessicaBellTO, who is definitely a fighter for public ed.

@fordnation and @Sflecce are welcome to visit @CentralTech and @CentralTechArt Centre anytime.

[OntarioSAFE @OntarioSafe]

.@sflecce & @fordnation, these concerns are not getting smaller because we are getting closer to the start of school.

[Central Tech Branch/OSSTF D12 @CtsBranch]

@wburchjones @tdsb We often question the board's values, but in this case, tough decisions are being made based on @sflecce's failure to fund boards so they can keep class sizes low.

[Yona “Education Shifts Power” Nestel @yonanestel]

Let’s try something. If you are a parent in Ontario that would have preferred the school day be shortened by 48 minutes in order to reduce class sizes please retweet at let @fordnation @Sflecce know! #SmallerIsSafer #SafeSeptemberON #onted
