It overwhelms my heart when we talk about our immigrant mamas and how proud they are of what we’ve accomplished. Especially knowing (and probably never fully knowing) what they sacrificed and went through to get us here. ❤️

[Maya Harris @mayaharris_]

Mommy taught us we could be and do anything. She would be beyond proud today.😭😭😭

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

On this day in 1966, Jonathan Crombie was born in Toronto. To many Canadians, he will always be Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables but he did so much more in his life.
Let's learn more about the life of this beloved actor, taken far too soon 👇

If I’m in public and your dog pulls you towards me just know that I indeed want your dog to bother me. They can bother me all day. They can bother me by jumping into my arms. They can bother me by wanting pets & pats & scratches. I will never not want to be bothered by your dog

@TTChelps Understandable KJ but there was also no one to direct passengers to the shuttle pick up spot. This is really frustrating customer service. Help us out next time by having staff at the station to direct.

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

@TTChelps confusion at st Clair station. Riders are everywhere along Yonge. Where are the shuttle buses??

[Ontario's Universities @OntUniv]

Today marks the anniversary of #FlightPS752. We continue to remember and honour the lives that were lost by this tragedy, including the students and faculty who were part of the #ONpse community.

[Ziauddin Yousafzai @ZiauddinY]

Students ( mostly boys) from Peshawar, Pakistan march against ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan.
Peshawar rejects the repressive and misogynistic ideology of Taliban.
Peshawar stands with peace and education. Well done boys and girls!

NEW: Dozens of Asian American scholars & allies are signing an open letter pointing out how Chancellor Thomas Keon's racist comments expose broader problem of institutional racism @PurdueNorthwest & need for new leadership to implement structural change 🧵https://t.co/OoI92GsDEf

The Taliban states that certain fields of the current curriculum "ruin the dignity of Afghan women." One of the banned fields is engineering.

As an Afghan woman, tech startup founder and data science student, I'm a product of this "undignified" field - and I'm proud of it.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

A brave girl from Afghanistan spray paints #LetHerLearn on a wall to spread a powerful message of resistance against the Taliban's oppressive ban on girls' education.

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree.

They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one”

Amplify their voices.

I don’t even care if this isn’t real.

[Shyla Watson @shylawhittney]

I can’t believe I’m even writing this but just now I was trying to get my Christmas tree off the roof of the car. Clearly struggling. A voice calls out asking if I need help. I turn around. A HANDSOME, SHIRTLESS, TATTOOED stranger comes forward. (1/2)

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

I just picked up my cellphone and tried to drink it like coffee. Things are going really well today.

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

Ok but what if we had a section in coffee shops that was a designated quieter area and a section that’s like “make all the noise you want as you gossip about your friends over your vanilla chai tea latte”.

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

@cicelybelle_xo Please ask them if going to a destination on the opposite side of the country would be good for a day trip then get very angry when they tell you it’s too far away like they personally put it that far away to make it difficult for you.

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

How is today both cold and sweaty?

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

Ok now do museums and the catholic church

[Euronews Culture @euronewsculture]

The mosaic, which depicts the snake-haired Medusa, is believed to be 2,000 years old and had been missing for over a century.

But now, the FBI has finally returned it to the Italian government.

Here's how they tracked it down 👇

Haha remember the time we tried to use this in a EDI workshop at an institution I used to work at and white people were so upset cuz it made them feel bad and they thought the Asian woman was “being rude” so we took it out of the session?? Yah that was funny 🤣😒

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

“Where are your people from?”

Whew. This is a teaching tool.

[woo kim 김우선 @woosunkim]

this is what it sounds like in my head all the time.

Some days New York City is hard. But then there are days when you find yourself on a subway car filled with children singing "We Don't Talk About Bruno." Today was one of those days.

I know SAD is for winter, but based on everyone I'm talking to, this summer is very much like, "from the makers of Seasonal Depression, now comes Flamin' Seasonal Depression"
