Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Right-wing Canadian men have the same access to the history of what was done to Indigenous children as we do, but many refuse to care. I decided to tell them that history as if the children had been white instead.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

Govt minister Josh MacAlister claims unemployed young people are paid with PIP to be out of work. Except PIP isn't an out of work benefit, plenty of people who receive PIP are in work & PIP enables them to do that. Josh knows this. What hes doing is whipping up anger towards disabled people.

The guy with his back to us is now Bert, but Bert is being operated by Frank Oz, who is crouched down in front of the counter. The waiter/server is now Jim Henson who is looking intently at Kermit, and Kermit, who is occupying half of Jim's right arm, is looking intently at Jim. The diner is now called "JIMMYS".

I've just read another blog about storage and retrieval, learning as memory and how performance isn't long term learning. Imo this narrative exposes a subconscious frustration with where learning is situated. 'You can't see learning' is the refrain. And if you can't see it, you can't control it. 🧵⬇️

Ed Sheeran could have refused to boot Macklemore and forced venues to decide if they wanted to lose all that revenue or not. What is the point of being rich and having a platform if you're so easily bullied into being a useless coward?

If your employer tries to do this at your place of work, & the toilets are for staff only, then they are breaking the law. the EHRC guidance only applies to publicly accessible bathrooms. Private spaces (i.e. staff only) are not covered. Staff can use whichever bathroom fits their chosen gender.

If universities start using ai to grade essays then they're hastening their own demise because why would you need to go to university if you're not getting feedback from humans in an interaction with them. Same for all levels of education. Remove the relational aspects and you remove the point.

In 1907, a large bridge in Quebec collapsed due to poor engineering, costing 76 people their lives. From this wreckage, iron rings were made, given to graduating engineers as a reminder to always put safety over money. Today, the iron rings are no longer from the bridge, but the reminder remains.
