⚡️ ethical and equitable education to actuate a world where all humans can thrive at being themselves.

[Kathleen MacKinnon @kathleenmac_]

We don’t need #BellLetsTalk ........ we need equitable wrap around support services with trauma informed service providers that not only care for those when it’s “easy”. Why are we not talking about the lack of supports for folks with psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar, BPD?!

Show up with continuous action, be in response and authentic in your community care + efforts. #jedi #equity

ATTN orgs and companies who don’t know what to do in *current* (not new, ongoing) racist North American environment: if you’re in the reactionary it will reveal where the gaps in your work towards equality, equity and inclusion exist.

... and pay those who are doing the labour to help educate you, your capitalism is also a form of activism... that $30 for a @Forever21 shirt is better spent on a $30 webinar learning from marginalized populations on how you can show up better as a human, you know?

[Nine Rising @ninerising]

you can literally teach and learn most things via google, plz just check the source while doing your educational labour...

Reminder: you are not a commodity.

May you never fall under the #slacktivism category ... always learning, leaning in, and shifting the power dynamics

5 million youth students in over 18 states? #esports .. school boards? Principals? Where you at??? .. we’re at our desk dismayed tweeting about it, and I get that. Let’s just all do a little better when it comes to advocating for the emotional literacy and wellbeing of our youth.

[Nine Rising @ninerising]

#esports closed a raise to be in over 5K schools with video games ... and cool, cool, cool for them. We’re just curious who carefully analyzed how this will impact the psyche + mental health of the youth that have hours + hours of exposure to this?

Can we please eliminate the phrase, "Stop crying. Be a man"?
The old fashioned stereotype doesnt work. Let's cherish the vulnerabilities of men. Their lives depend on it.
121 Americans die by suicide each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control — and 93 of them are men.
