This is so deeply upsetting, I can’t find words to express my shock and sadness. Mourning the loss of these students and thinking of their parents, family, friends, and all the members of our community who will be so affected by this. RIP, love to all.
Today our UBC community is mourning the tragic deaths of two students.

This is such excellent news, @TamCohenPhDRD - congratulations!!! 👏👏
🎉 Congratulations to LFS researcher @TamCohenPhDRD & @DrAlberga (@Concordia) on receiving a @CIHR_IRSC grant for their national project to find issues important to pregnant women during maternity care visits. (1/2)
These strategies would be so helpful when talking to anyone who thinks climate change is not an issue, too!
Talking to a vaccine-hesitant family member or friend? Those conversations tough but so important.
My (not comprehensive) list of things to consider.

Do you realise what a radical thing libraries are? Publicly-funded spaces where you can access information, countless books, and the internet even if you are homeless? There is a reason why people in power want to convince you they are superfluous and should be defunded.
Agree with this 100%. Such a powerful way to support and celebrate people - and, more often than not, I find it actually brings tears of happiness/gratitude to my eyes to be able to acknowledge others' amazingness 🥰
So many @ubc classes include hundreds of students in cramped quarters with little ventilation (actively engaging with each other, talking! laughing!). Please protect our learning environments @ubcprez and implement vaccine mandate at #UBC - our safety and wellbeing depends on it.
The report "included one unambiguously positive finding: the level of devastation we face is in our collective hands. If the world slashes emissions now and reduces them to net zero by 2050 we would... avoid the worst impacts of climate change." theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Just signed @standearth petition to stop old growth forests in BC from logging: shorturl.at/imIOW
Old growth forests are nature's way to keep us cool during heat waves and keep our planet cool by storing massive amounts of carbon. It's clear that old growth forests are worth more standing, and it's past time the @bcndp stopped logging what remains.

The Medium article linked here is so apt — one of many calls to act we so desperately need to listen to. To save a sliver of our imperfect world.

In the 102 years of The Ubyssey, I am the first Black woman to hold the position of editor, I am the second Black person to sit on the editorial period.
I know that holds a lot of weight.

This one for white and non-black POC especially: On BlackOutTuesday, invest in long-term learning about white supremacy and anti-racism.
P.S. many local bookstores are doing curb-side pick-up and delivery. Support local business, and don't order from Amazon.
