There's no room for mediocre leadership, because it replicates the worst of late capitalism. If you're in leadership, it's encumbent to learn how to be ethical and humane - systemically. #leadership #leadershipmindset

Not sure who needs the reminder, but even if you mean really well, it's not actually helpful to tell a sick/disabled person that you think about them "all the time" if you don't regularly check in (even by messaging). On the contrary, it's depressing to be on the receiving end of that. #spoonies

Don't eat the rich. Tax them.

Because apparently there is confusion: Yes, we can have different opinions Yes, I expect you to inform yourself before trying to engage in conversation, just like I do Yes, I may be racialized yet have boundaries of self-respect, which it seems you're not used to Yes, trans rights are human rights

CAUT flagged a concerning statement by the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Conservatives: "Poilievre released his party’s platform...included a promise to 'put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.'" Yikes.⚠️ 1/ πŸ”—πŸ‘‡ #academicsky

If you cannot afford to be off work for years, you should seriously consider wearing a mask in public indoor places. It's shocking how fast one can go from athletic+healthy to unable to function. DON'T count on being able to push through. Make sure your disability insurance is good. #chronicillness

I've been quieter this election cycle; am letting those with more privilege do the heavy lifting on civic education for this #cdnpoli election. Other intersectional, racialized etc voters who are also burned out coalmine canaries will understand, I'm sure. #elbowsup

When you look at the spring/summer schedule and see you're the only female prof this term (of 9 profs). This has happened regularly throughout my career + volunteering experience. Being an "only." Only woman, let alone only intersectional woman. Excited to teach a new cohort. And so very tired.

It's a rare or privileged experience to be able to vote for someone who reflects all of your values. Please read that again + think about it. And then remember those of us who are othered when you consider the importance of voting strategically to avoid the most dangerous outcomes for us. #cdnpoli

Hey writing community - writing about difficult pasts isn't "healing"/"cathartic" for all of us as writers. Maybe some of us aren't writing for ourselves. Maybe some of us are just doing the hard, thoughtful & intentional writing work because we want to help others feel seen. #writersky #writing

Meaningful friendship should be able to persist and grow through internalized ableism. If it doesn't, it wasn't friendship. We're allowed to grieve. And then let them go. #disability #spoonies

I didn't lose long-term friends when I became disabled. I just discovered that three of them weren't. Friends, that is. #disabled #spoonielife

Welcome anecdote for any worried or demoralized #booksky authors, readers and people who care about where the world is going.πŸ‘‡

As mentioned in my last post, remember what is at stake here.

Reminding Canadians not to repeat errors some left-leaning folks made in the US. You don't need to agree with everything a political leader does, you need to zoom out and think as a whole. You can hold them accountable once in office. *You can't hold anyone accountable if the far right gets in.*

So maybe all bathrooms should be removed from all government buildings, courts, schools, etc. in Idaho. If you're going to do "justice," make it actually just. Trans rights are human rights.

Some news outlets are saying that law school applications have dramatically increased in number this year as workers look for job stability... Maybe. Or is it perhaps because thoughtful people looked ahead after early November and recognized the importance of understanding systems of governance?

Hey Canadian voters, remember that just because polls say a candidate is doing well doesn't mean it's a sure thing. You'll still need to vote when the time comes. Remember that wins and losses can happen with thin margins and your vote is needed. #cdnpoli

A profound sense of justice is only problematic in an environment that is profoundly unjust. No wonder those of us who are autistic are patholigized for this apparently troublesome tendency. How dare we want to live in a just world (sarcasm). Keep resisting. Keep being good to others.

Interesting how some folks are saying previous presidents never could have gotten away with this. Apparently, they could have. Less learned helplessness, more everyday resistance.

This letter sent from Einstein to Curie is a great example of how high-quality men (or other folks with lots of comparative advantage) in particular can be allies to peers with less advantage. PS I'm going to print out this letter & frame it. PPS any other intersectional leaders tearing up also?πŸ₯Ί

Quick reminder that #measles is spread through the air. Sometimes folks get confused because they think the red rash means it's spread by contact. No. It's spread through the air. The rash isn't the big problem, either. Measles can kill. Get the vaccine if you can & mask up. Stay safe out there.

Perspective & discernment matter even more in fraught times. Perspective allows us to acknowledge hard truths & cuncurrent blessings (eg where we can use our personal agency). Discernment lets us navigate through the dense fog, one clear metre/yard at a time, without getting caught in any traps.
