@namshine Women’s health is not a priority in #Ontario #FordFailedOntario

I was in the ER for 12 hours last night. The bleeding, from fibroids & adenomyosis, wouldn't stop. They finally slowed my bleeding down but when I was discharged, my blood pressure was at 172/97. I am still being told to wait 14mths for surgery. How is this healthcare in Ontario?

This is an invaluable resource for school boards & schools libraries. A collaborative effort by some of the finest experts in the field- congratulations and thank you ⁦@ONLibraryAssoc⁩ ⁦@oslacouncil⁩ ⁦⁩ accessola.com/school-library…

Thank you, @AnitaBK & school librarian practitioners from across ONT for demystifying the practice of weeding library collections. This is core work across all fields of library practice; professional librarians deselect w/ care, a critical lens, & with their communities in mind.

@CdnSchoolLibrar This makes me smile and remember @Freibauer who was a powerhouse of fashion AND school library learning! 💕

Any other school library fashionistas out there?
