1. I literally don’t even know who the @nytimes is for. Canceling my subscription, finally

If you want accurate coverage of Israel / Palestine + the Middle East at large, I recommend the following outlets:

if you’re wondering who is crafting or curating your news/making the highest decisions in canadian journalism, it’s that time again: @caj annual newsroom diversity survey just dropped and somehow even worse than years past https://t.co/DCQzmZlFTr

Stop returning to empty wells.

To my Canadian followers, had the pleasure of working on Robyn Hood, a very Black, modern, lo-fi take on the original Robin Hood lore. Premieres tonight on @GlobalTV & @stacktv at 10pm EST! 🏹✨

I took my break today at the Black owned coffee shop Butter and Spice in Leslieville. The pastries were to die for and the service was exceptional. I’m not a coffee drinker but there were great tea options hot and cold. Support local!

A huge wildfire in northern Canada is moving closer to the city of Yellowknife and authorities have ordered the city’s 20,000 residents to evacuate ⤵️

We should all be paying more attention to #Yellowknife, the first administrative capital in Canada to be evacuated in nearly two centuries. The first, but not the last.

In the middle of extreme weather, refugees are arriving, record numbers of whom have no place to live.

Now, 1 in 2 people entering shelters is a refugee.

The federal government hasn’t delivered on $97M of promised funding for refugee shelter spaces.

Take action 👇🏼

Early in my screenwriting career, I was insecure, hungover, and a pain to work with.

I sobered up & wanted to change my reputation, but didn't know how. Then Craig Mazin gave a talk at the WGA on thriving in development.

These are 5 takeaways that helped change how I worked.

had accepted succession being over but now I’m like wait… is succession in the casket. oh god. can we get it out. please. I can’t do this

[eden @danielarmands]

roman purposefully went into that crowd because he’s never felt like more of a fuck up; when he fucked up as a kid his dad beat him so when his dad isn’t there he provokes strangers to punish him because that’s all he ever feels like he deserves #SuccessionHBO

It is far past time for stigma about ADHD stimulants to subside.

They are:

✨not addictive when taken as prescribed
✨highly effective for most w/ADHD w/minimal side effects
✨out of our system quickly
✨stimulants. Like…caffeine. They don’t get us high, they help us work.

EXCLUSIVE: @screen_office “close to edge of the funding cliff” after being excluded from latest federal budget. Heritage Canada’s reply: “Tech giants will have to pay their fair share toward our culture — including toward Indigenous artists and creators.” https://t.co/3sRjYKGB9l

I spent my day trying to clean an encampment that had been looted and set on fire (seemingly unreported). If this were a brick-and-mortar home, there'd be insurance, trauma support, relocation indoors ― a safety net. When you're homeless, there's nothing. It's just all gone.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

There are no programs that provide health insurance to my patients in the ICU on ventilators who do not have an OHIP card for no other reason other than their social circumstances, mental illness, lack of family support and/or disability.

Remove barriers to getting a healthcard.
