To transgender girls and women across Canada, you belong in sport.

We are not going to fundraise our way out of this 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Food banks don’t solve food insecurity. We simply cannot donate our way out of this crisis. We need accountability from governments and the private sector who continue to reap profits at the detriment to the most marginalized and vulnerable in our country.

We are mapping allies and advocates in Ontario to prepare for a potential roll-back on policy protections for transgender students in our province. If you work for an Ontario-based organization, please let me know and I’ll flip you an email!

45C! It was 45 degrees in my classroom today. Not an ideal first day. I struggled to think straight and found it hard to concentrate. I’m currently making ice packs with ziplocks and ice cubes that students can put on necks/heads tomorrow. #heatwave #OntEd

Lahaina Town on Maui is almost totally burnt to the ground. Firefighters are still trying to get the fires under control, and our first responders are in search and rescue mode. If you want to help, please do so here. Thank you. hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong

@Mikeggibbs I thought Dr Jane Philpott was a good MOH

There are exceptions but very few good ones. (The US cabinet is not elected. That's the only way a cabinet of experts works. Our cabinet of experts does exist too = Deputy Ministers)

Trudeau has learned the tough lessons of cabinet making and applied them well. Doctors cannot be Minister of Health. Soldiers cannot be Minister of Defence. Experts make for bad ministers in the Westminster system. Political leadership and professional leadership can't be the same people.

We need safe supply to save lives.

@GumptionAndCo 😳

South Africa.

Cancelling plans because of poor air quality is making me so depressed. Indoors isn’t safe, outdoors isn’t safe. I only have a few months a year where I can really be outside and see friends and do stuff safely and now even that’s being taken away. I’m at the end of my rope!!!!

Today's the last day of #PrideMonth, folks. And these recent developments are a reminder of why this month even exists in the first place. We stand with the 2SLGBTQ+ community today, and every day, and we denounce hate in all its forms. Thanks for your time, Ottawa. (3/3)

It’s the last day of Pride Month. This is your reminder that, especially amidst rising hate, queer and trans people need your allyship year round. Support local 🏳️‍🌈 activists and organizations. Show up to rallies and counter protests. Raise the bar and call on governments to act.

Waterloo police say the stabbing at the University of Waterloo is "a hate-motivated incident related to gender expression and gender identity." This is the predictable outcome of the constant dehumanization and anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric found everywhere these days.

I just entered to win an awesome prize! ul.ink/1DWN2-H1S8G6_t

@ymcahbb The Tachane Foundation is amazing and great to see this important work being done.
