1/6 🎓🔬 I'm thrilled to share our new working paper. We find evidence that stock markets are starting to react to key climate litigation by devaluing the stocks of defending Carbon Majors.

Fast fashion is a women's rights issue.
A reminder that women's day started in 1908 when 15,000 garment workers marched through NYC for shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote.
Today, women & garment workers in fashion's supply chain are still exploited. #IWD
this thread was a gentle reminder that Delhi street food is elite 🥟

So, on this National Truth and Reconciliation Day, ask yourself:
What actions will I take to help advance true reconciliation?
By what measure will I know they have been impactful and effective?
How will I continue to act tomorrow, the next day, and into the future? (2/3)
I’m leading my first-ever examination for discovery this week. Please send any tips (and good vibes) my way!

The humidex is going to reach 40C in TO today!
A 🧵 of simple ways to cool our city that Toronto can borrow from Montreal. 1/10
These kiosks also make public spaces more interactive and contribute to the overall walkability of the city. 10/10 in both design and functionality
Lisbon’s cafe kiosks are so wonderful. They anchor public life, place-make, and help to brand the city. If I were running for mayor of Toronto (which I’m not), I’d propose the following 👇 #TOpoli
I was called to the bar yesterday. It truly took a village to get here and I’m so thankful- I am officially a lawyer!
Brought a motion in (virtual) Court for the first time today- an articling milestone and Friday win! ☺️

Hoping some of the anti-minimum wage benchers who aren’t on #lawtwitter get the Star in the morning.

Speaking to fellow non-Indigenous people in Canada today, including fellow racialized people and immigrants, because despite our own challenges, whether we like it or not, we all have and continue to benefit from the colonization of Indigenous Peoples' land. /1
