She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.

She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.
But as I said I need everyone's help.
Anyways, to get to the point...My Point is: I need your #Help. #Calgary #YYC
63 #calls for #renthelp, #foodassistance, #utilityhelp. Even #evictionassistance. #Care
When they told me their reason for needing help, I have to admit that there were a few times that I cried right along side them while they talked.
I lost it. My husband and my kidlets just sat and stared at me #crying when my #son asked me what was #wrong.
My son then looked at me and with a serious face said:
"Mom, I love you but hate is a strong word."
I then started to laugh.
He then #asked me what could be done to #help. He asked this because he had #listened in on some of the calls and sat in his chair #stunned at some of the things he was hearing.
Please donate to @HarvestHillsYYC.
They need everyone's help to be able to continue to do what they do everyday.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
