The only thing I hate more than seeing teachers write report cards is having to read these archaic relics that don't do what we want them to... (they report achievement - they do not communicate learning <-- this should be the goal in the 21st century...)
Interesting piece on modern attempts at gender neutral pronouns in Chinese. Gendered pronouns have a relatively recent pedigree in Chinese.
(As a Hokkien speaker I sidestep the issue of 他/她/X也 entirely by using 伊 for everyone). https://t.co/at2ZPQVAIG

BREAKING BAD NEWS: BC Environmental Assessment Office has approved a 5-year extension for Woodfibre LNG, with no conditions.
This is unacceptable. Woodfibre LNG does not fit with CleanBC's climate targets. We will be seeking a judicial review. #bcpoli

It's dishonest and irresponsible at this point for reporters to keep using a job versus environment frame when 100,000+ people have lost their jobs in the oil and gas industry this year
Looking forward to seeing the @BCGreens put in the time to build relationships and attract diverse candidates - 3 years since the 2017 win and the slate is 81% white - can only get better from here
I'm as upset about this election as anyone. But the @bcliberals and @bcndp love to paint the @BCGreens as a basket of conspiracy theorists as it is - let's not help them along plz and thx @ElizabethMay#BCElection2020
Wherein a sitting MP (and former leader of the Green Party) proposes a literal conspiracy theory with no basis in fact or science.
Surprising? #BCElection2020#bcpoli
White ppl violently attack indigenous lobster fishers, it’s called “escalating tensions”. Indigenous people block roads to protect their territory it’s called “domestic terrorism”. The narrative needs to change in Canada. #MikmaqRights#cdnpoli#SystemicRacism#firstnations
I have long been a supporter of the BC Liberal Party. I continue to stand by the values of free enterprise that originally drew me to this party. The BC Liberal Party under Andrew Wilkinson does not reflect values I support. #bcpoli#BCelxn2020
