Or just send your kid to the local public high school cuz everyone ends up at the same 8 Ontario universities anyway. And donate the 100k you’re spending over 4 years on tuition to a local charity.

Trucker squad messaging seems to imply the rest of us love lock downs & big pharma, or the inconvenience of arranging our lives around vaccine rules. For the record, we’re all v annoyed by these things. But someone’s gotta make the rules & running a biz w 36 million ppl is hard.

Special shouts to my ma, Janet Kerman, who is retiring this week after 20 years at Central Tech High School in Toronto. She taught mostly special education & took her job very seriously every single day. At home I witnessed all lesson planning, marking, calling parents.

I did about 15 minutes of children’s songs over zoom yesterday for my nephew’s kindergarten class. It felt like 6 hours. I have no clue how teachers are doing this, let alone parents and the kids. Respect to you all. Wowza.

Seems the # 1 priority of any society should be caring for the sick and providing safe places for kids to learn & grow. It’s more important than any other investment bc it’ll pay off in a million ways. I imagine it simply starts w/ good pay & treating these pro’s w/ dignity.

Some advice: when you have a coffee after dinner and think "is this really necessary, you addict?", it helps to pretend you're in a cute little Italian resto and you just had a big supper and some cute waiter man asks if you want an espresso like it's nbd and you say of course!

Interesting thing happening in Ontario. Despite other real past grievances, many foes are giving @fordnation kudos for steering the ship right now. Political pressure is important to a functioning society, but so is giving credit. I hope we keep developing this habit, together.

Listening back to Taylor Swift back catalogue at the moment, and I think reputation really holds up. I don't think many folks were totally ready for it (pun intended sorry) when it came out, but the songwriting/production is edgy + great. Delicate is maybe her best song ever.

I propose a motion that all employers, brands and miscellaneous jolly people must provide their normal open bar holiday parties as soon as it’s safe to do so. If it happens to be a random week in the middle of March, so be it. The people deserve it.

My typical "yelp a cool looking coffee shop" morning routine didn't quite work out today in Amsterdam. Walked 20 minutes only to find this place didn't serve coffee at all!

Today’s binary weather report: you can take a stupid little stroll. Just wear boots and a winter jacket.

govt has bungled a bunch of stuff and we all have the right to gripe. But making rules right now sux, especially when everyone at the party has a different idea about what is a “good idea”. For all the talk about “control”, being a politician seems like a miserable job rn haha.
