Here at Edmontonās Sacred Heart of the First Peoples Church where @Pontifex will visit Monday. Streets are blocked off & stationed with police. This area is usually filled with homeless people, most of them Indigenous, but itās been cleared outā¦ ā at Edmonton, Alberta
Education & healthcare are at a breaking point. Prices for food/utilities/gas etc. are untenable. We need safe injection sites & mental health supports & more. Ppl are struggling. Iāll vote NDP, but the comms strategy needs work. Dunking on Kenney isnāt enough to win an election.

As part of our commitment to ensuring equitable access to PL opportunities, ELAC will sponsor 5 teachers who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color with $500 to attend our Disrupt, Engage, Empower conference. Find out more here: elacata.ca/events/bipoc-confā¦
Iāve been tagged in a few Black History Month tweets re: the poster series thatās on my TPT. Always dope to see them in schools, but just want to make a PSA that they couldnāt have been created without the direction and writing skills of @SAdomakoAnsah. I only did the drawings :)
Did I mention sheās also the current Educator in Residence at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights? Sheās kind of a bad ass, so definitely give her some love šš¼
Oh, and sheās also the co-founder of the @btassociation_, and theyāre doing some pretty cool stuff this month. š

Are you Indigenous? Thinking of becoming a teacher? Do it. We need more Indigenous teachers in the education system šš¾.

In collaboration with the @btassociation_ We are planning the first ever #BSASummit for February 2022! In the next few weeks weāll be reaching out to BSAās in #AB vendors, sponsors, presenters, & leaders in the community. Teachers, allies, community, letās connect! ā at Edmonton, Alberta

Folks attacking teachers act like our goal is to work remotely. In reality, teaching online is both more work + far less joy. We donāt want to teach onlineāwe just want ourselves, our students, + our families to be safe. We could be fighting for safe in-person schooling together!

I hate online teaching. For myself and for my students. But do you know what I hate more? Knowing Omicron will likely rip through the unboosted/unvaccinated populations of students in mere weeks and worrying how many will have severe outcomes or long Covid. We need a plan NOW.
I have two questions:
1) Are white men okay?
2) How do you decide who is alpha of the alphas? Do they take turns?
If the World Juniors are getting cancelled bc of COVID, I struggle to see how AB schools stay open. This tourny had all the time/money/effort invested & it still spread. Schools have way less resources. Kenney needs to make a decision now to give teachers & families time to prep.
Iām at the point of Christmas where I almost wish I had COVID so I had an excuse to isolate.
(This is a joke & I donāt wish COVID on any1. I love my family, but extra ppl is rough as an ADHDāer prone to sensory overload. + the unresolved tension of being the eldest daughter š)

So, in the past year the ocean has literally been on fire; weāve seen entire cities on fire or flooded; weāve experienced record heat waves that took lives and animals are changing their behaviour due to climate change and weāre doing what exactly?
Why arenāt we listening?

We've lost a beloved grandmother. Remembering @MaracleLee today.
