Medically speaking, I’m just not so sure our brains were made to stream this much grief and tragedy day in, day out, while not being able to stop the hurt and suffering.

Make no mistake: The violence we're seeing on the TTC won't be addressed by having more police present. We need more housing. More mental healthcare. More harm reduction services. More public washrooms. More warming centres. We need a City of Toronto that's more compassionate.

Hi👋🏾. It's my birthday today & I just want to say that: ✔️ Housing is healthcare ✔️ Public healthcare is worth saving ✔️ There is no justice without disability justice ✔️ Racism is still a public health crisis ✔️ Compassion is contagious Thank you all for the birthday love. ❤️

This Christmas please don’t say we can’t afford housing for all. We can no longer afford the cruelty of the status quo. A month in provincial jail costs: $9,400 Month in hospital: $20,100 Month in shelter: $6,600 Social housing per month: $2,500 Housing is a human right.

In one of the richest cities in the world, we are going into this winter where people will freeze to death. Where hundreds will come to our emergency departments with cold related injuries. Beyond warming centres, we need housing for all ASAP.

The Suit who Sacked @LisaLaFlamme_ has been removed from News - transferred to a different division. Unlike LaFlamme he lost face, but not work. Unlike her, he got taken care of, while she got taken out like yesterday's trash. thestar.com/news/canada/2022… via @torontostar

When I say set boundaries, I mean to enter a room/job & state your preferences: how do you work best? What are your preferred working hours? Affirm your worth by negotiating your salary, giving your opinion whether it's asked for or not, & leaving abusive jobs. #defymagazine

Yes! Strength isn’t about proving how much abuse u can take.. it’s about refusing to take anymore #defymagazine #daretodefy

That's a big one! It's okay to leave and not tolerate toxic behaviour in any environment.

I also would say that it's ok to leave a situation (ie: when misogyny is taking a toll on your mental health). Sometimes we think strength is defined as pushing through and overcoming but there's a lot of power in leaving, too. #DefyMagazine #UnapologeticWomen

A2: You will not find any workouts or cake recipes in #DEFYMagazine. We are here to expose the ways in which misogyny infiltrates our lives, validate our collective anger and frustration, and showcase the brave women who have defied the odds, convention and expectation.

EXCLUSIVE: CP24 personality Patricia Jaggernauth filed a human rights complaint against Bell Media, alleging a "pattern of racism, sexism and discrimination," adding she was treated as "a token and commodity" during her 11 years at the company. My latest: cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/p…

So let me get this straight: Canada’s largest corporations made record profits last year & avoided paying $30,000,000,000 in taxes but we've got People with Disabilities pursuing Medical Assistance in Dying because they can't access home care? Where are our priorities?
