@AngelaSterritt I would guess so - they considered my body lotion & whipped soap, to be liquids.

@slittletree Hi Sandy! I will be there representing Xwi7xwa Library!

Daniel Heath Justice once reminded me that the generosity of our ancestors was never the problem. Not then. Not now.

Am I appalled at the war bonnet? Of course I am. But I'm thinking about Daniel's words.

The problem is not our generosity. It is the colonial exploitation of it

@UBCFixMySpace can we get someone to finish taking out our garbage? in Xwi7xwa Library this morning

[Tamis C @xTamisC]

@TongLouieYMCA is the pool and swimming lessons open yet? My daughter is desperate to come back and this info isnt really available on your website!

@AngelaSterritt Gotta give a plug to my fabulously talented cousin @edziumusic

@bakingYMM @tagaq Even knowing about it, and recognizing how colonialism impacts our everyday, it was still shocking to watch that interview. Some of the things described, if done outside of the royal family, fit the definition of human trafficking

[Tamis C @xTamisC]

I find it utterly baffling that there are actually people who make their living, spewing vitriol about others. @piersmorgan is internationally famous for his hate. The foundation of his reputation is tearing others down.

@Daniel95293048 @TheDHTaylor I hear you, and at the same time it feels incredibly unfair to erect even more barriers for Indigenous people.

[Tamis C @xTamisC]

@globalnews The RCMP should not be investigating mere "mischief and threats" but "Vandalism, Theft, and Arson." Decolonize your writing and recognize how terminology and words matter in perpetuating contemporary colonial violence by minimizing the crimes committed against Indigenous people.

Need access to print resources? So do we, even the librarians are using UBC Library’s pick-up service! Click the link for information about ordering materials and what to expect when you get to Koerner! https://t.co/z4jKLHD3Nr

@ohenieledam @MadsLemire @tagaq They could both be simultaneously true. ;)

[Tamis C @xTamisC]

@sometimesal Wow looks fabulous!

Faith in humanity is free falling now. The "we" in "So we don't look like we're playing favorites" would suggest this was an order given for officers to clear the streets of white people in advance of unleashing brutality.

POLICE OFFICER TELLS PROUD BOYS TO HIDE INSIDE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY'RE ABOUT TO TEAR GAS PROTESTERS. THE OFFICER SAID HE WAS WARNING THEM "DISCRETELY" BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT PROTESTERS TO SEE POLICE "PLAY FAVORITES."

Check out this thread for some great tools (books) for educating yourself further on racism and how systemic racism functions in society, often without awareness of how it works.

[X̱wi7x̱wa Library @Xwi7xwaLibrary]

As we see new anti-racism booklists being created by our fellow librarians & favourite authors, Xwi7xwa has a few suggestions to add! Some of them might be digitally available through UBC or your library, and some might not be & you'll have to pick them up at a local bookstore

[Tamis C @xTamisC]

@EdmontonEsks Systemic racism is when institutions such as this dont accept accountability for their racist title, because none were around when the name was first made and this is how its always been. Time to take responsibility and Change your Name #changeyourname

"We die playing outside. We die babysitting. We die eating ice cream. We die sleeping in our own beds. We die and die and die at the hands of the police who are sworn to serve and protect us."

@mpm40 I am speechless, and sick to my stomach with sadness and rage upon reading that.
