I'm not an expert by any means, but have hedge funds considered shorting stocks of companies that make bootstraps?

today I got called a bitch at work because I insisted a man wear his mask over his nose, and then before my brain kicked in I said “was it not a bitch that nursed Rome” so I’ll never come out with anything that good in my life again

Mitch McConnell getting credit simply for referring to Joe Biden as “President-elect” is peak low bar setting by media.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Starting to suspect your prediction that 2020 would be “the one” may have been quite wrong.

[Anna Mary Mckenzie @legally_cree]

Privilege is being able to make social media content about how you cope with motherhood (i.e, taking “Mummy moments” or drinking wine) and not fearing repercussions from child services as an Indigenous family

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Just so we’re clear, Black folks marching to the polls in N.C., including children and the elderly, were pepper sprayed for blocking traffic when they knelt down to honor George Floyd. But these white Trump caravans who blocked bridges? A pat on the back and a wave from the cops.

This is the most obvious and brutal racism. This is genocide-denial. I'm Jewish, and if the Alberta government floated taking the Holocaust out of the curriculum I'd know what to call them. I hope every other Canadian is also breaking furniture in their house right now.

[Howard Sherman @HESherman]

I think I need to put this as plainly as I can, and I apologize for shouting: PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE LIVE PERFORMING ARTS AREN'T JUST 'NOT WORKING' – THEY ARE *PREVENTED* FROM ENGAGING IN THE WORK AND CAREERS FOR WHICH THEY WERE TRAINED.

The nurse who blew the whistle on the mass hysterectomies at the ICE concentration camp is a black woman. She just did a press conference. Her name and face are out there. She’s risking her life to stop these atrocities. Now each and every one of us needs to step up.

[Brandi Morin @Songstress28]

Yes, I was a missing Indigenous girl who beat the odds. Now I’m a journalist & I won’t shut up about a genocidal crisis happening in Canada. To all MMIWG, survivors, families, I ❤️ YOU!
Indigenous women are preyed on at horrifying rates. I was one of them https://t.co/VnBrUsAczE

Imagine we cared about Indigenous peoples as much as we cared about statues.

[Waubgeshig Rice @waub]

I’ll never lament the fallen statue of a colonizer. I’ll always lament the lives, languages, and ceremonies lost because of colonialism.

[The Tonight Show @FallonTonight]

This was amazing. @chadwickboseman surprises #BlackPanther fans while they say what the movie means to them.

Ontarians: Retweet if you are not a teacher but you support teachers and their unions as they fight to make schools safe for kids and staff. They need us loud! They are fighting for all of us right now. Thank you! #ETFO #SafeSeptember #onted

@Franny_McB oof remember smelling cigarette smoke just -everywhere-? I still get "smoking or non?" flash backs when I enter restaurants. Or did, the last time I entered a restaurant.

[Kaitlyn Rietdyk @krietdyk]

if there's something that smells more like "Summer in Ontario" than the combination of citronella candles, mosquito coils and an in-use bbq, I'm not sure what it is.

Hey funders, remember this ancient proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, give multi-year general operating dollars, invest in BIPOC leaders, and knock it off with all the BS in your grant applications”
