It’s far too simplistic to talk about the attacks in Israel in tweets.
What’s happening is horrific. Full stop.
For those of you who do not know about the geopolitical climate in this area this is a good primer. 👇🏻1/

It’s important to note that the region was, like much of the Western world, carved out by colonizers like Britain and other parts of Europe in response to the atrocities of WWII.
Today, a friend and former colleague and I talked about the philanthropist who sexually harassed me for 5 years.
His name and family’s name are all over the city. He’s seen as one of NS’s biggest business successes 🦞 , and he’s donated millions.
She asked “why not leave?” 🧵
Good question.
He’s donated to all three of my former employers.
His most recent gift was $20 m.
His parents’ names will be above the new cancer centre.
I have to drive past places where he sexually propositioned me regularly.
Why don’t I leave? 2/

TW: sexual assault and PTSD
For those of you following the work we have been doing with @ChenderClaudia and the @NSNDP on Bill 144, thank you.
I want to try and explain to you all what the last two days have been like for me - a victim of sexual assault and harassment. 🧵1/
My hands are shaking as I write this.
The last two days have been a traumatic experience. I had no concept of the hurt I have been holding inside my body over the last five years.
@ChenderClaudia is submitting it and has acknowledged our presence in the legislature. #nspoli@NovaScotiaESM is submitting a document called “combatting sexual harassment in the legislative assembly” by @EqualVoiceCA

Had the privilege of reading #WeCanDoBetter by Dr. David Goldbloom (son of Dr. Richard Goldbloom). The last chapter on #mentahealth and #homelessness should be mandatory reading @MikeSavageHFX and @nspc@TimHoustonNS. Here’s the synopsis is (thread):
200,000 people in Canada are estimated to be homeless. More than the entire population of St. John’s NFLD.
Cost per person living with mental illness (excluding medications) who are homeless: $56,000.
Homelessness is an expensive issue.

Hi #fundraisingtwitter. Some people seem confused as to why I, and may others, consider Mr. Ahern's comments and sessions offensive. I've had some genuine questions, so let me do my best to explain here.
Last month a conference called "Inspire Webinar Series" came out featuring a series of fundraising "legends". @_David_Lacey rightfully pointed out that 19 of the 22 panelists were white men. It was called out on Twitter and LinkedIn for being insulting.

Okay #fundraisingtwitter, now is the time to step up. Do you care about the principles of #IDEA? Please reach out to the AFP South Sound chapter and let them know it is NOT acceptable to host this event. community.afpnet.org/afpwasouthsoun…
@thattomahern is spending time diminishing the voices, qualifications, and validity of BIPOC fundraisers and this is unacceptable. I would implore you to reach out.
