I was a TA Western University last year. We were paid ~$1500/month. Western says a 1-bedroom apartment cost $1555/month.

If TAs only work 10hrs/week so they can prioritise their studies, Western should pay them enough so they don’t need to work additional jobs.

I support my fellow graduate students in demanding Teaching Assistants are paid a living wage! The cost of living in London has outpaced what TAs are paid for their work, forcing many into precarious financial circumstances during their studies. Let's take care of each other 💜

My city councillor, whose aim is to fearmonger, will never share this story. (Instead, we’ll get something out of Denver or San Francisco).

Maritime criminals operate by their own code.

Dehumanizing. Carla Qualtrough said the Commission would be mobilized w/in 6-10 wks of her Dec 11 announcement. Her lack of urgency & silence is disrespectful & dehumanizing to survivors & athletes. Many have risked so much & been failed too many times.

Jamilah McBryde, a Muslim woman wrestler, qualified for the US Olympic Trials.

But the international governing body, United World Wrestling, bans uniforms that cover the full body, so Jamilah is barred from competing.

Yet UWW claims 'Unity' as a value.

Driving by KFC with the windows open last night after some awesome sparring at the #boxing club...self-sabotager inside me trying to get out. 'You earned it...follow that delicious chicken stink like a 1950s cartoon character and treat yourself.'

I made it, had a protein shake.
