I am thrilled to share that I will be clerking for the Honourable Justice O’Bonsawin.

Nyá:wen to everyone who helped me get to where I am today. It feels like a dream.

You are the first listed signatory on an open letter describing a group of my law students—predominantly, racialized women, many Arab and Muslim—as terrorist sympathizers, unfit for legal practice, and “miserably” incompetent.

*Which* students come first, Jon?

Don’t come to Maui. Cancel your planned vacations. Survivors need the hotel rooms. Give our community time to grieve and heal.

My brain is exploding reading all Jonah Hill's texts to Sarah Brady. Any partner who asks you to be less of yourself in order to be with them is not worth your time. Don't let someone whittle down all the things that make you you in order to feel better about themselves.

I’m so proud of Sarah Brady (Jonah Hill’s ex) for being courageous enough to share how much of her narcissistic ex had been emotionally abusing her. You end up protecting your abuser out of guilt, shame & trauma bonds until one day you decide fuck that prick.

It begins with the words.
Nothing happens without them. Sometimes, the writing achieves transcendence, but, in every case, it’s seminal. I got to a give a brilliant speech recently, which not only explicated my and my brother’s characters, it illuminated an entire narrative. 1/3

Tv will never be the same 😭😭😭

Housed people have the privilege of having their worst moments in private; unhoused people don't. This gives some people the profoundly mistaken impression that the person they see acting belligerent on the street is and will be that person every single moment of their life.

Dr James Makokis (nehiyô), MD, M.H.Sc, CCFP 🌈 Yup, did the Native law program in 2019 with her, and we knew she and a bunch were not Indigenous, but we couldn't do anything about it because they were protected. They were let in by people who knew better.

Enough to make me physically sick. With everything we know, how are these people and organizations allowed to spread such lies and hate unchecked. I am 1st generation out of 3 that wasn't forced! You're spreading hate & You are genocide denialists TheDorchesterReview
Vile POS

‘I think if we all did that, it would be a rather better place wouldn’t it?’ ❤️

National treasure Ian McKellen joined me and Tony for Three Little Words this week, where he gave a surprising and moving answer as to why he chose the word love.

I can’t just “migrate to Instagram”! Instagram is for pretty people who are bad at making jokes so they just make the same joke everyone else made until someone starts a new joke, but none of the jokes are funny!!! It’s literally my nightmare!!!

We were separated from our families and worked from home with our kids underfoot. We didn’t share meals with friends or take vacations. And then, when we were spread so thin emotionally, our city was occupied by people bent on making our lives hell. And they did. #POEC #ottawa

The professors who have shown me the same grace in some of my hardest moments have truly made me a better person. They showed me kindness and compassion at a time when I was unable to do that for myself. This thread is so beautiful. 😭

The guy with the worst grades should get to give a graduation speech too. Let me hear both sides

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

A reminder to always capitalize Indigenous. Always.

It is always an adjective, not a proper noun, so say Indigenous people, not just 'the Indigenous.'

When you're an Autumn person waiting for summer to end:

Currently reading The Honourable Michelle O’Bonsawin’s Questionnaire under the judicial application process, and this excerpt is incredibly powerful.
