I hate āsidesā in politics - the only side I have is to choose the best solution for the problem at hand. Ideology be damned - at this point political rhetoric only serves to divide us and waste our time - work with the other āsideā not against them. Letās get creative.

I have many memories of her - spent a lot of time with her and she was my mentor politically growing up. I have baby pictures in her home on Colborne with David. I saw her at Christmas will miss her. ā¤ļø

In toxic cultures, rest is taking your foot off the gas. You're forced to push yourself to exhaustionāburnout is a price to pay for excellence.
In healthy cultures, rest is a supply of fuel. You're expected to take regular reprievesābreaks are vital to gain and sustain energy.

Great education systems don't just invest in āgifted and talentedā students. They bring out the best in all students.āØ
Top schools create opportunities for teachers to specialize in their studentsānot only their subjects.
Deeper relationships unlock hidden potential.

Trigger warnings are not effective.
24 studies, 7k people: alerts about upsetting content don't prevent distress or promote learning. All they do is raise anxiety.
The best way to shield mental health isn't to sound an alarm beforehand. It's to make support available afterward.

Every kid should learn that humility and kindness aren't signs of weakness. They're strengths of character.
Recognizing your faults doesn't mean you lack self-esteem. It shows you have self-awareness.
Showing compassion doesn't mean you lack backbone. It shows you have heart.
