Historically, Canada’s laws condoned beating of slaves, servants, sailors, apprentices, prisoners, dogs, wives, and children. Only children remain on that list today (section 43). Take 2 min to help end legalized violence against children. #repeal43now https://t.co/sgWM9Ykaxg

97% of children excluded at primary school had a special educational need or disability. NINETY SEVEN PERCENT. The number of under 6 year old’s excluded is staggering. This has long lasting damage on a child’s educational journey. These statistics are not ok.

Fern was autistic and needed clear communication. She needed help.
We are told to ask for professional help when in crisis.
What clear communication was this giving her?

[Autball @autball1]

People reeaalllly like to suggest better coping skills for autistic, ADHD, and otherwise ND folks. But what if your ND person is being expected to “cope” with more than they can reasonably be expected to?

Part of the plan to garner public support for privatizing education in bits and pieces is to engineer lower quality to decrease confidence https://t.co/nI7WRSSpbZ

@MarkRober 2e kids and parents got your back

[Lisa Fernandes @lisafernandes]

We know social media can harm kids - adults too. I try to model screen usage as a purposeful tool, but it's an uphill battle when corporate interests in government push them into education at all levels. Online learning is not a solution for all students.

Lol, I was eligible to skip multiple grades and passed on MIT to go to Harvey Mudd for math & CS. The reason why? I was undiagnosed autistic & ADHD. Most (all?) exceptionally smart people have undx'd disabilities, which leads to crashing and burning out in our 30s...

Ohio: Dead fish and cattle being reported as far as 100 miles away from the site.

Journalists covering the story have been arrested.

What the HELL is going on?

BREAKING: The @EPA release the legal notice letter sent to @nscorp detailing the extent of the disaster, with many details not previously disclosed concerning the #EastPalestine #chemicalspill

[Nick D @nickdrom]

arresting reporters at press conferences definitely is NOT a red flag that you might not be disclosing everything.

@shapermint Remembrance Day is not "celebrated" in a "happy" sense. It's a day to honour and commemorate the sacrifices of life made to ensure our continued freedom. If anything you could offer a discount to veterans for the day; tell them you appreciate their service.

[Lisa Fernandes @lisafernandes]

@shapermint A friend of mine received this atrociously inappropriate and offensive "happy Rememberance Day" email. Remembrance Day should NOT be used to hawk your wares.

@YMCA_Canada They found me. Unfortunately, the party facilities have still not been opened. Thank you.

[Lisa Fernandes @lisafernandes]

@YMCA_Canada I've been trying to reach your Markham office for ages. I am apparently "caller 1" in the queue but no one ever answers. Any help?

[Cynthia Mulligan @CityCynthia]

I'm so sorry. None of you deserve this, it is disgusting.
