I toured a TDSB high school yesterday. The teachers & students were amazing & the program looked strong. The facilities were run down. The stairs had grooves, parts of ceiling loose, lockers & equipment ancient. It made me wonder how many people who voted for Ford have seen the state of schools.

I know there won’t be a city wide parade to thank the Blue Jays but it would be so cool if schools celebrated the teamwork, persistence, risk taking, empathy (& really all the learning skills students practice) with parades! You don’t win every time but there’s so much to celebrate. #bluejays

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

We passed some kids doing something dangerous & they seemed embarrassed. 1 of them called me “retard”. I said “When you have the privilege of making friends with someone with Down’s Syndrome you’ll never say that again” It probably didn’t change a thing but I couldn’t ignore hate from a kid. 💔

I’m seeing so much fear mongering about getting kids ready for kindergarten. Teachers will meet kids where they are & help them to have great learning experiences. If your kid knows when they need help & how to ask for it, they will thrive. I’m happy to answer questions here or through my website. 💕

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join. Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard” It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

I keep seeing posts referring to Joe Rogan bringing back the “R word”. This has to be an absolute NO! We need to speak up every time we hear it. Not just for our friends with #DownSyndrome but to show all kids that sometimes inclusion means having awkward moments with people who don’t know better.

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.

When hurling insults at awful adults, let’s stop calling them children. All kids are good & need our help to self-regulate, learn, & empathize. When they tantrum, need our help to take ownership or see another perspective, it’s developmentally appropriate. The proper term for a bad adult is ASS!
