Do you want to return to writing or another creative project?

I created this #workbook to help those who want to make writing a regular part of their lives or to reconnect with a creative project or activity.

Wishing you happy #writing!

This month I'm rereading #AnneofGreenGables in honour of Linda Luong Luck, one of the nicest editors I've ever worked with.

If you'd like to donate to #readforLinda to support her family, @cancersociety or Brain Injury Canada, you can do so here: https://t.co/wlp1PUpq4S💛

This read-a-thon is a way to honour Linda together and to communicate to her loved ones that we are thinking of her.💛

If not slowed, climate change over the next few centuries could lead to marine losses unlike anything Earth has seen in 252 million years. #WorldOceansDay https://t.co/PNmaBvO33M

“Is it too late to do anything about climate change?”
It’s not too late. Many solutions are already being used, and a new report from @IPCC_CH shows how the world can limit climate warming. 🧵:

[National Academies @theNASEM]

It's true that Earth has cycled through many ice ages and warm periods in the past. But these were driven by natural changes.

Today's global warming cannot be explained by natural changes. #BasedOnScience https://t.co/o7Z3HBUCQP

Zero COVID was never a realistic, practical or achievable strategy in the U.S.

Unmitigated viral spread is also not a strategy

The realistic goal is low levels of transmission, high levels of immunity in the population and easily accessible therapeutics among other factors

[Marisa Baratta @marisabaratta]

@CassCStirling Ooh I prefer “I shook my head and…” but I don’t think the first is incorrect.

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

What about masks?

The TDSB asked for permission to keep mask rules in place in schools, citing low youth vaccination rates and a need to watch for increased COVID-19 transmission after March break. The province rejected their requests.

@TGuitar99 The wording of the holding hands and waterfall part is so beautifully done!

Can we please reinstate mask mandate to help each other? 💛 “chief medical officer strongly encouraged all residents to wear masks” “@BogochIsaac said […] relying on hospitals to swallow the sick patients […] not a prudent strategy […] a portion of those ppl die.” @fordnation
