@therealrealTMZ The only way I’ve found to get around this is to change your timeline to “latest tweets.” No algorithm, only chronological. Completely different experience

My feed is mostly "X person you follow liked" or "based on your likes" and I keep seeing posts and people that are actually really shitty for my mental health, but not accounts I can unfollow because I don't follow them in the first place.

@cgeorgebell That's the one! I talk about it a bit more in my Globe & Mail article: theglobeandmail.com/featured-repor…

I think this is the Edmonton report on equity/zoning @angewrig mentioned in the clip: edmonton.ca/sites/default/… #yegplan

@AnnaViPele @rachelthompson @ehjchang @SebastianL74 So happy to hear our words were helpful 😀😊

Thank you for this episode @rachelthompson and your insights @ehjchang, Hege, @SebastianL74, @angewrig. I've been frustrated lately with my progress as a writer, so 🙏 for the great reminder that patience & your personal definition of success are essential to finding your path

We're looking for a Fiction Editor who is early in their career, loves short stories and independent publishing, and will champion marginalized writers. Candidates must be Canadian residents. This is a very part time position that pays a small stipend. this.org/2021/07/21/wer…

when i tell you someone isn't safe for me, believe me.

@alex84analyzes tl;dr. We're talking specifically about people who self-medicate with substances because they can't bear the weight of their trauma. Let's not obfuscate this with semantics

2021 Toronto Book Awards long list announced News release: toronto.ca/news/2021-toro… #CityofTO #TObookawards

@alex84analyzes Except using substances *is* harmful. Tobacco, alcohol and others do harm to our bodies, cut our lifespans, cause diseases. Stigma doesn't come from saying using substances is harmful. Stigma comes from saying using substances makes you a bad person

@alex84analyzes @mandi_pn @BigFarna Although I also love Meera Atkinson's idea about trauma in terms of cycles. She uses example of Nazism having its roots in trauma due to post-WW1 "traumatic national condition." Perhaps we could also say police have traumatic institutional condition that leads to violence & abuse

@alex84analyzes @mandi_pn @BigFarna I agree-however-we need to distinguish between harm and trauma. A lot of traumatized people may harm others in the way they act out trauma (unhealthy relationships/substance use, etc), but they're not necessarily traumatizing people through violence & abuse

If you need help, please reach out. Having an emotional reaction from hearing about the atrocious history and impacts of Indian Residential Schools is completely justified and normal. What happened was wrong and never should have happened.

First woman of colour, first Black person and first Jewish woman elected to lead a major federal party - it was never going to be a walk in the park.

Yes, remnants of discriminatory urban planning remain @angewrig @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/featured-repor…
