Hundreds of AASUA and @UnionNASA members showed up today because we're not backing down. Increasing workloads, precarious employment, and stagnant salaries all pose a risk to #ualberta's high-quality education. Thanks to all fellow unions who came out in support! #solidarity

Here’s the thing: it’s one thing for kids to voluntarily read things actually written for adults, it’s another altogether to create a situation where a child might pick up a book they are not ready for cus it’s being touted as age-appropriate when it’s not
Replying to @arkhamlibrarian
This is the photo in question—don’t want to tag anyone b/c I see where they’re coming from. But my hot take is that almost every book here is (or should be considered) YA. I’m sorry but this is what teens read. They have shit to figure out & books are a safe place to do that

These three are incredible! Sara, Sarah, and Janaya are @ab_vax. These moms, all volunteers, have spent countless hours connecting Albertans with vaccines. @pancholi_rakhi, Marlin, and I were so proud to present them with QEII Platinum Jubilee Medals. Thank you. Truly. #ableg

To all of the students struggling with quizzes and assignments right now, a reminder: this is one grade, in one course, in one year of your life. In ten years, this quiz or assignment will be forgotten - by you, by your instructor, by your employer. It's going to be okay.

People wonder why Jews are neurotic. It’s because the chill ones didn’t make it. Every Jew you meet is the descendent of a Jew 200 years ago who was like “yo, the vibes are off. Let’s get on a boat.”
