Why is our goal to make sure we have enough hospital beds for people who get sick from COVID?...Why isn't our goal to re-start using even the most basic of protections that we have (e.g. mask mandates) to reduce the number of people who get sick from COVID in the first place?

So excited to pick up Elamin Abdelmahmoud's book today and start reading! Congrats Elamin!

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

A 🧵 on burnout Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/ #AcademicChatter Academic Chatter™ Academic Encouragement

Dear HCWs, Please stop feeling guilty for putting your health & wellbeing first. You cannot save a system that was designed to break you. You cannot do it all. You are doing your best. Please take care of yourself so you can be in a position to help others. Sending love ❤️

Pre-COVID: agencies charged ~$65/h to supply ICU RNs Since COVID: agencies charge up to $110/h Privatization diverts public $ to private companies who can take advantage of the situation hospitals face. Shore up public healthcare instead of letting privatization undercut it.

Helping professionals deserve to make so much more money. That’s it. That’s the tweet today.

The “just teach” crowd has no idea what teachers actually do, because, if they did, they would know that schools would not be able to function if all teachers did was just teach.

I’m really excited for this event, we’ve put a lot of work into it. I can’t wait for you all to come out and enjoy it ! I need you all to spread the word 🎅🏾🖤

Started the day with Self-Care With Laur at @revaleebrunchcafe, then spent a lovely afternoon with 15yo at Black owned 905's 2nd Annual Holiday BIPOC Market We finished the afternoon with a trip to pocketCHANGE (items purchased not shown) and with soft serve from @beechwooddoughnuts

Loved speaking today at @IAMETFOHalton's Women's Empowerment Conference to support teachers to prioritize themselves, create realistic wellness routines, and build their self-care toolkit!

Stop glamourising “hustle culture” and start glamourising the Frog and Toad lifestyle.

Enjoyed joining @TimDenis1 on the NewsTalk 610 CKTB Roundtable/Zoomtable with Sean Vanderklis this morning!

Always a pleasure. PS @TimDenis1, it would be impossible for #AI to replace you and that sparkling personality. #Superstar

Pedro Pascal as Easter Eggs. A thread.

Beautiful spot for today’s workshop! Loved working with the Child’s View Child Care Services team to support their mental health + help them prioritize manageable and meaningful self-care 🌱

Honoured to provide a keynote address on mental health + self-care at Hospice Niagara’s Volunteer Retreat! #NVW2023 #WeavingUsTogether

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government is making tuition free for police officers…but isn’t making tuition free for nurses, mental health workers or social workers? It’s a question of priorities.

Thrilled to present my Manageable and Meaningful Self-Care Workshop to Elementary Teachers of Toronto members Elementary Teachers of Toronto at their Health and Wellness Weekend for Women Conference! 🌱
