There is no form of protest against racism or method of teaching about racism that will be palatable to racists.

An entire family massacred in London, Ontario, simply for existing as Muslims.
10 days after a mass grave of 215 Indigenous children are found in BC.
There can be no more pretending that Canada is different.
We must confront white supremacy terror in Canada, full stop.

215 Indigenous children found dead.
215 reasons to learn about residential schools.
215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past.
215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide.
An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.

My fave @Shopify perk?! A one month paid sabbatical after 5 years of service to rest and refuel. Note to self: you don’t need to rely on a perk to take extended periods of rest 🤯. Catch ya on the flip side ✌🏾✌🏾❤️#intermissionlife
