Sick Boy is a CBC featured podcast & an important disability space for Canadians and I want you to listen to the conversation going on among disabled Canadians. It broke my πŸ’”, what are we doing here? This country has become unrecognizable. #cdnpoli #Canadasky

Breaking: Men officially deemed too emotional for positions of power

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city β€œsweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. β€œThey took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

In 1991, Delwin Vriend, an openly gay man, was fired from his job as a laboratory coordinator and chemistry lab instructor in Alberta. He was told he was fired because he was gay. His court case helped pave the way to remove bans on same-sex marriage across Canada. 🧡1/10

I must say, good video discussing cultural and political moments of the last 5 yrs, from #covid to social safety nets, the rise of right wing ideologies, and where we go from here (hint: how can we keep building a more just society despite the growing rhetoric and misinformation??) #cdnpoli #uspoli

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it: The expulsion of expertise from government and academia during Mao's Cultural Revolution devastated China for decades, particularly in science and technology. That profound harm led the country to take education as seriously as it does today. wapo.st/3YTivKW
