Elder millennial here to wildly speculate that Taylor Swift singing about April 29 is NOT a reference to the date, but to the telephone code 4/29 which spells G-A-Y and is a lil gift from her to the #gaylors
"Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?"
Yes.
Swifties are, in fact, desperately trying to figure out where Taylor Swift was on every April 29th since 1989. #tsmidnights

A back-to-school suggestion for the older crowd: I took an Impact Investment course by @Spring_is earlier this year and would highly recommend their fall offerings, including one focused on women-led startups. spring.is/programs/impact-in…
They're holding an info session on Sept 8 for newbie impact investors crowdcast.io/e/impact-invest…

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why:
(This is focused on cis women, but cis dudes I need you to listen too. You are also in danger.)

What a great vaccine campaign ad out of France oozing with positivity, hope and a clear and simple demonstration of how effective vaccines are.
Can someone make a Canadian version of this? @JakeBogoch @BogochIsaac @zchagla @HeidiTworek

On Monday I booked vaccines for my 40+ spouse in Ontario and then for my 60+ mother in Nova Scotia.
Let me tell you how it went.
The tl;dr version:
Ontario = Serious Hunger Games vibes.
Nova Scotia = Easiest thing I have done this week.

And if your loved ones live outside of Toronto...tell them to call, too. Shoppers was happy to take my 64-year-old parents from Barrie. It's open to those who "live, work and study in Ontario."
PSA: Some pharmacies in Toronto are accepting walk-ins for #COVID19 vaccinations as of *right now* following Ontario's announcement that anyone 60+ could soon get shots.
You can find one closest to your loved one (call to confirm) & get them in line ⬇️

I will add to this: it is quite lovely to watch them grow while so much else stands still.

Which part is more distressing, that it costs $867 CDN to sit at Tim Hortons in Dubai on NYE, or that you'll be served their "four-course meal, complete with soup and dessert"? thenationalnews.com/lifestyl…
Every morning, thinking of the j-school prof who told our class that the primary function of journalism is to answer the question: "Is it safe for me to leave my house today?"

From today's funeral of the 7 kids who came to Canada 2 years ago and died in the deadliest house fire in Nova Scotian recent history on Tuesday..

Yearly calls to Ontario Rape Crisis Centres have gone from 30,000 a decade ago to more than 50,000 now. Yet promised funding has not flown. Sexual violence is not a partisan issue, we need action now because #SurvivorsCantWait. #Onpoli thestar.com/politics/provinc…

The year Al Gore won the popular vote by half a million votes.
Such a damning, depressing line in @dwallacewells tour de force new essay on climate change: "If we had started global decarbonization in 2000 we would have had to cut emissions by only about 2 percent per year to stay safely under two degrees of warming." nytimes.com/2019/02/16/opini…
