Some days it’s about productivity and efficiency. Some days it’s about happiness and love. Some days it’s about hard work and progression. Some days it’s about all of the above. Some days it’s simply about getting through the day...

Excellent thread! 👇

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

Don't worry if someone does not like you. Most people are struggling to like themselves.

A cool reminder of what can happen when you start looking at history. @BloorCI is running a course this quad on local history, in part to support collection materials from our history in preparation for our move to @CentralTech.

I’m obviously really angry with this government, after seeing the budget announcement. But I am also feeling a deep level of frustration with OSSTF - all education worker unions, really - and what feels like a number of wasted years, facing what we are now facing today.

It is empty when politicians call for healing and peace without stating antiracist policies they want to institute. Words bring momentary healing and peace. Policy change brings lasting healing and peace by rooting out the racism suffocating so many people. We want to breathe.

"How much time do you want for your progress?" James Baldwin's words 30+ years ago sadly even more relevant today.

“Thank you for a peaceful and safe #JusticeForRegis protest yesterday. You spoke loudly and I heard you,” Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders tweeted Sunday.

A beautiful sight, in trying times.

What is happening in k-12 schools is NOT Intentionally designed-online learning. It is remote access, emergency digital learning. The only way we would have online learning is if Educators had the time & prod learning to develop online learning environments/ resources. We didn’t.

This. Closing the park will make the problem worse. People need space - particularly if you do not have a yard - and we know contagion happens indoors, not out (this is close to definitive). Adapt streets for people! This law and order approach being bandied about is misplaced.

[Jesse Hawken @jessehawken]

Here’s the Toronto Sun in a nutshell. For months now they’ve been casting doubt on everything about the pandemic (blaming China, blaming Trudeau, wanting Dr. Tam fired, calling all measures draconian, etc) and now they’re yelling at people for not taking the pandemic seriously!

[MZS @mattzollerseitz]

I must confess that, after everything we’ve seen in the last four years, I’m still a little bit shocked to see the American right deciding 100,000 dead is an acceptable price for being able to go shopping, and that the elderly don’t matter because “they were going to die anyway.“
