It seems as though these candidates don't know that we've had food insecurity in this city for decades. What's most dangerous here is that the future mayor doesn't actually know how to solve this problem. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

It's irritating when food shows refer to meat as "proteins". There are many non-meat sources of protein. Call it meat. Call it animal protein. Just be more accurate.

Hi Tweeps, does anyone have any intel on the existence of orgs supporting South Asian queer youth? I've got one in the family looking for community. Thank you!

I am really absorbing the truth of this today. The fact that we need to wear masks OUTSIDE now is really bad news all around...

THE PREMIER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THESE FIRES ARE PART OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS. Instead he gaslights the opposition, somehow pitting them against fire fighters. Doug Ford's platform continues to be all bandaids with heads in the sand about root causes. Thank you @maritstiles!

Ok, that's it. Enough with the food #tiktok videos. It's wasteful and disrespectful. There is a certain attitude that thinks this is an acceptable way to treat food, and it's part of the reason our relationship with food on this side of the Atlantic is so unsustainable.

Just rewatched OG Fatal Attraction, and it's a classic that holds up well. This new Rashomon-style deep dive was not necessary, and I lost interest around episode 4. Plus, while I watched it, I just kept thinking "Good lord Pacey, what have you gotten yourself into here?!"

There's a piece I really want to write and publish somewhere. The current working title is: "How Long Covid Forced me to Stop Paying my Brown Lady Tax". Who wants to publish this amazing story?

All these schools have 3rd party operators running food service. THIS is the danger of allowing outsourced corporations to set the tone for a campus. Food security is about reliable, affordable access to the appropriate food, not just having enough to eat. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Sue was a Canadian legend, offering the gift of honest, accurate information on a subject so shrouded in shame & myth. Thank you Sue!!

Dear Ava DuVernay, watching the final season of #QueenSugar, and I have to tell you that this show has stirred my soul. I love these characters like they're real people. Thank you for this..it has helped me find a closer connection to my own ancestors.

Dear Christiane Amanpour, I'm a long time fan. Just watched an interview with you. While you always speak so clearly & confidently, there was one moment where your voice got just a bit shaky. It was when you said that you're proud of yourself, and I loved the honesty of that moment.

I don't know if there's a more layered pastry of great values than this: a regenerative farm growing food in a way that incorporates Indigenous wisdom & culture for hospital patients next door. This is thoughtful, innovative, inspiring AND effective. coastreporter.net/local-news/reg…

S2 Ep. 7 of The Bear is WONDERFUL. I've watched it three times now, and it makes me weep every time. It should be required viewing for all culinary students. Also, they stole my hospital/hospitality bit. #theblossomingofcousinrichie #hospitality #whywedothis

Tweeps! I have a serious collection of dvds of big hits from the 80's & 90's. They're out of their cases in an album, and I can't bear to throw them away. Where are the places that still have dvd players? Who's not streaming?
