During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, Indigenous people in Canada were 6.5 times as likely to end up in the ICU. Now with #COVID19, African-Americans in NYC are dying at twice the rate of their white peers.
Don't tell me that pandemics impact 'all people equally'.
Race matters.

Had a second interview for a government job.
I got asked a question in French.
Said I didn’t know how to speak French. Then I got asked why I put “Yes” in the box stating if I was bilingual.
Told them I spoke English and Oji-Cree.
The interviewers sat in silence.

Do you have white teenage sons?
Listen up.
I've been watching my boys' online behavior & noticed that social media and vloggers are actively laying groundwork in white teens to turn them into alt-right/white supremacists.
Here's how:

I LOVE this- wish every market had an "Old Coots Giving Advice" booth. We all need an Elder to tell us what's up!
A tradition is brewing In Salt Lake City where, every Saturday in the summer, a group of senior citizens who regularly meet and gab at a local coffee shop are offering up free advice to anyone who visits their booth at a farmer's market. @SteveHartmanCBS cbsn.ws/2Zyis6y

[at a gender reveal party]
me: if blue confetti comes out of the pipe it’s a boy, and if pink confetti comes out it’s a girl
guests: three, two, one...!
[I press the button. Water shoots out of the pipe. The room floods]
me: that’s right bitches, gender is fluid

He raped a 12 year old. You are contributing to rape culture @latimes. Stop it.
An Orange County man who had sex with a 12-year-old girl he met on the Tinder dating app will spend more than a year behind bars, court records show. ow.ly/9MEX30p6JZc

I’ve long spoken of the invisible work / too many tabs open. Now we can give it a name! Cognitive labour. Looking forward to seeing how this work can be furthered and integrated into equality literature. #cognitivelabour #Equality
NEW! Allison Daminger uncovers a new dimension of housework, cognitive labor, and shows it to be both a highly gendered phenomenon and a significant source of conflict for married couples

Regular reminder that if you’re teaching Maslow’s hierarchy of needs you need to cite the actual First Nations people whose wisdom the ideas were appropriated from. Take a look at this article by @cblackst researchgate.net/publication…

Prof @Pam_Palmater often sees students in her classes cry, get angry, or surprised at the realities of racism in Canada. Why do Indigenous topics cause such emotional discomfort? | Producer: @mgirouar & @charneland
