Divesting myself from the myth that I need to “earn” rest (e.g. taking a break, calling a friend, going to bed early) to not feel guilty about it was probably the best thing I did for my mental health during the pandemic, but should probably also just be a regular life thing.

Nadya and Amira Gill have said they are Inuit. According to family, and documents reviewed by APTN News, there are still questions about who Nadya and Amira claim to be.

Almost as bad is my partner making a joke about BEEasements when I relayed this story

[shruti @shrutiramesh]

Got stung by a bee on my ankle while walking in my neighbourhood so I sat down on the wooden ledge bordering a yard and immediately got yelled at to move, and to not look through the recycling, otherwise police would be called 🙃

If you want to do something about the LSO's recent announcement on licensing exams, here's a letter to sign (inspired by the law student petition) #lawtwitter

This is a tough blow for so many people - have already heard about immunocompromised and disabled candidates needing to seek accommodations, re-scheduling of weddings and major family events, pushing back job start dates and folks dealing with caregiving responsibilities.

[Law Society of Ontario @LawSocietyLSO]

Update for the 2022-2023 licensing examinations cycle: licensing examinations for the 2022-2023 licensing cycle will take place in-person; online examinations will not be offered. Study materials and the competencies that will be examined remain unchanged.

@_ashleeyash Banana Republic has good sales and a good petites section for short folks (me) but otherwise big on thrifting and getting minor alterations! More fun that way too.

What a sign of the times that what oriented me to what day of the week it is, is the podcast notifications I got for new episodes uploaded today.

All my WFH gripes aside, the freedom to wear my silly little migraine ice-pack hat (headband?) with abandon during flare-ups is… priceless.

From a recent HRW/Amnesty International report:

“Immigration detainees are not held on criminal charges or convictions, but many experience the country’s most restrictive confinement conditions… often subjected to solitary confinement”.

[shruti @shrutiramesh]

Really hoping that folks who were outraged about the #Djokovic saga keep that same energy about immigration detention here in Canada/the US.

Refugees and asylum seekers are detained sometimes for years. To say a system that allows this to happen is unjust is an understatement.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

The #Djokovic saga is not about whether you believe in covid vaccines, but whether you believe famous sports stars should play by the same rules as everyone else. He has the right not to be jabbed, and Australia has the right to chuck him out for making a dodgy visa application.

Getting my booster but cancelling my holiday plans all in one day was a lot of emotions for a Sunday

i have recommended ‘all about love’ to many people, in so many conversations. reading it for the first time years ago, was formative for me in developing the language to articulate so many things i’d always wondered, and i’m forever grateful

My purse got stolen on the subway today, but I’m getting to go to my first #raptors game since pre-COVID times so I guess equilibrium is restored
