I think the most remarkable thing about the latest episode of #TedLasso is the way it grapples with redemption.

Both Rebecca and Jamie are forced to accept that apologizing isn’t enough.

A 🧵 with spoilers
There are two sides to this.

1) You have to change yourself

2) Accept that apologizing might not be enough.

As Nora says:
“Sometime you have to do the right thing, even if you lose.”
Sometimes redemption is bigger than oneself. We see this in Jamie’s actions later in the episode.

He’s the first non-Nigerian player to black out the sponsor logo.

“You’re my teammate We got to wear the same kit” - Jamie
Even though they lose no one on the team cares.

“Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.” Ted says.

Never check your inbox. Sometimes people call you racial slurs and other times, like today, you get called a minority hire.

Slurs are worse but I'd like to talk about countering imposter syndrome and the concept of being hired just because you're a minority in media.
First thing first. Everyone should acknowledge that media has historically been and continue to be overwhelmingly white.

It needs to change and get better at representing the diverse audience it covers.
I remember the first time I was told that I had gotten a job because of my skin.

It came right after I got my first full time journalism job.

I worked really hard during school to freelance and network and it paid off with a job.

Good afternoon #yqr and followers of #yqrcc it's Wednesday and that means City Council is meeting at 1 p.m.

Another topic of interest on the agenda. The flouridation of Regina's water. @HeidiAtter has that teed up here:

Some key context for the bylaw on conversion therapy. There's not going to be any real debate/presentations on the topic. If there are it won't be anything like in previous council meetings.

The topic is likely going to be an up and down vote.
