Students from Arbutus Middle School’s music program once again create a stellar entry for the CBC Music Class Challenge. Watch their remarkable spin on the Neil Young classic Heart of Gold here: https://t.co/3raoAk1NTD #CBCMusicClass
@elonmusk The irony of enabling free speech is you need to stop talking. If the town square has an opinion it’s not the town square, it’s your front lawn.
@0xSton@FEhrsam 3 on each side of the scale.
Take the 3 from the heavier side.
Put one on each side of the scale.
Either it’s the heavier of the two or they are equal weight and or you are holding the heavier sphere.
Is that it?
Day 950 of detention. Includes 45 nights in prison, 5 in a halfway house, 890 with an ankle claw, hundreds of harassing phone calls, 10 urine tests, 4 strip searches, major sleep deprivation.
Would do it all over for the honor of representing the Indigenous peoples of Ecuador.
The people of Ukraine are today showing the incredible strength of a free people fighting for their democracy.
This is one of those times, and one of those places, where freedom confronts tyranny.
We are determined that freedom will triumph, and it will.
1. About the Victoria school board effectively firing two of its own: There is some history here of various strategies to exclude or silence @sd61schools trustees who advocate for students, especially those who have been or still are teachers. Sit back while I recall #bced...
When music is cut from schools, nothing is saved. Money isn’t saved, time isn’t saved, and results aren’t saved. On the contrary, everything is diminished. The school is diminished, the pupils are diminished, and their learning is diminished. Cutting music saves nothing.
@HawksleyWorkman Just a reminder that the School District 61 board of trustees attempted to cut *this* music program, only relented after community protests, and will try again. Vote in the school trustee elections.
@LynAldenContact I would love to hear your take on the factors that might make possible a scenario where current inflation is a head-fake and North America instead experiences a sustained period of deflation.
This stretched-out, socially-distanced, protest runs 4.5km from the Greater Victoria School District office to the BC legislature. Students and parents protesting cuts to music and other programs in SD61. #bced#bcpoli#yyj
