This is Alena McQuarter. She was in 5th grade when her principal told her that girls of color couldn't get good grades or pass state tests.

How did she respond?

She graduated high school at 12, became NASA's youngest intern ever, and is about to graduate college at 14.

I've told the Premier many times now: it's never too late to do the right thing.

1⃣ Recall the Legislature.
2⃣ Restore these lands to the Greenbelt.
3⃣ Cancel these dodgy deals.
4⃣ Fire Minister Clark.

Put ordinary people ahead of your donors.

The crooked Ford government is ripping off Ontario.

Ford should resign. Clark should resign. And police should investigate.

My brother’s girlfriend’s cousin and his family were caught in their vehicle in Maui while the wildfires suddenly erupted around them.

No cell service, so Apple Emergency SOS was the only way they could get in contact with first responders. Literally saved their lives.

Y’all COVID is surging again and “milder strains” my ass because I’m over here throwing up and even water is making me nauseous. Wear a mask. Avoid crowds.

🧵I was karen’ed while camping last week. My 4yo woke up traumatized (nightmare or just pissed) at midnight. She was screaming and my hubs was hugging her cuz she refused to be put back into the sleeping bag. She’s screaming ‘don’t put me down’. 1/

This is my son Eddie a few months before he was diagnosed with cancer.

We used masks/testing/ventilation to keep him free of respiratory illness during this journey, which improved both the quality and quantity of time we had with him.

A thread…

And dudes like this will be like, "I have no idea why my wife left me out of nowhere, women ain't loyal anymore."

[Lindsay @horseplayer7]

@Magnolia_613 My husband does this. He loves to go maskless to big events. I'm immune compromised & my dad died of Covid. We sleep in separate rooms & I mask in all of the common areas of my house. I shower when he's at work. I only unmask in the shower or if I'm in bedroom w the door shut.

When cleaning air increases profits—as it does for commercial hog operations—painstaking efforts are made to clean pig-barn air.
It's time to demand the same sort of care for the air breathed by humans.

Novavax has developed an updated protein-based monovalent XBB.1.5 COVID vaccine candidate and is manufacturing at commercial scale with the intent to meet HHS’ September timeline.

We must "do more to prevent infections" 🤣

Sorry, @mvankerkhove to do *more* to prevent infections, we'd have to be at the stage where we're doing *anything* to prevent infections.

Right now I'd even be happy if we did less to encourage infections.

Happy Olivia Chow Day, @fordnation

I hope she makes your life fucking miserable

[Stan - Covid is Airborne @getacluekid]

SickKids has dropped the requirement to mask in the hallways / elevators / common spaces. They've done so quietly and without notice so as to avoid pushback - all while ignoring the enormous body of scientific evidence about the dangers of SARS-COV-2 @SickKidsNews

[Ivan l'Africain @AlterIvan1]

Everything is amazing until it's your turn.

This is the same with covid. Avoid infections, or this will be your new reality.

If you don't fight for a system that takes cares of people who struggle the most and has the least, this will/can happen to you.

June 28: Hospitals in Montreal announce that they’ll be distributing N95s to vulnerable patients to protect them from the wildfire smoke

June 29: Journalists ask Public Health authorities why they aren’t doing the same thing

June 30: Hospitals in Montreal stop distributing N95s

Anyone who knows me, knows I am in ❤️ with my tibetan terrier rescue, Lucy, who turns 15 in August.

Unfortunately, the wrong “reorder” prompt on @Chewy website nearly cost her her life 2 weeks ago.
