Posting this as a separate thread bc I have a few things to say ....

Note: There will be cursing.

1/x

First ...

It's well past "about time" that our Fed Gov't gets serious about the horror show that is #LTChomes care in Canada. We have been _warehousing_ our seniors & #PwD for DECADES, believing in the outright LIE that a public / private mix could work.

2/x
When the fuck have private - aka FOR PROFIT - models ever worked to address shortcomings in how we treat "minorities" in society? While Insurance™️ companies sold us the pipe-dream of Freedom55 (remeber that?), seniors that missed the boat got locked away.

3/x
There is NO WORLD in which charging ppl $5000 / mo for _shared_ accommodations in a run-down building, where "nutritious meals" are something we wouldn't normally serve a dog, and residents are _abused_ .... is acceptable. NONE. 🤬

4/x
Further, there is NO WORLD in which, arguably, the _most damaging_ Premier of ON in recent history, Mike Harris, should be trusted to have the "best intentions" of anyone but himself running amok in his blackened heart. That man is human trash 🤬

5/x
#LTChomes need a complete overhaul. We seriously need to rethink why we consider our seniors & #PwD to be disposable. IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.

6/x
Now .... secondly, I wanted to highlight this nugget at the very BOTTOM of the bullet list:

7/x
Does anything about these two lonely bullets stand out? Did you notice that, once again, DISABILITY is explicitly connected to fucking WORKERS!?!?! 🤬 Do those of us #PwD that are not WORKERS not rate for even grudging notice?

8/x
Do we not fawn enough? Should we #PwD spend more time perfecting our "Please Sir, may I have some more?" impressions? Would it help if we all had Disney™️ redesign us so we have sad Bambi eyes - just unfocused enough to be "cute"?

9/x
Would the Fed Gov't & @CQualtro prefer if we all starred in Shriner's or St Jude's hospital style ads - complete with piping voices, child-like innocence, and chronically happy expressions? WOULD #PwD ACTUALLY MATTER ENOUGH THEN!?!?

10/x
Here's my message to @JustinTrudeau , @CQualtro and anyone else involved in the dumpster fire around DISABILITY issues:

GET YOUR FUCKING HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES! We #PwD were dying in droves before this pandemic. This pandemic didn't "cause" the crisis for #PwD .

11/x
The pandemic didn't even amplify our issues. ALL IT DID was put a huge magnifying glass on the completely fucked up priorities our Gov'ts have wrt WHEN they could be bothered to notice: WHEN IT EFFECTS WORKERS!!

Fuck off.

How I created content in 2020

A thread...

Back in Aug 2016, I started creating content to share my experiences as an entrepreneur.
Over 3 years I had put out 1,200+ hours of content - posting every week without


Little did I know that something I started almost 4 years back would give my life an entirely new direction.

At the end of 2019, my biggest platform was LinkedIn with ~700K followers.

In Jan 2020, I decided to build a team that would help me with the content.

I ran a month long recruitment drive to hire a team of interns.

It comprised 4 detailed rounds - starting with my loved 20 questions, then an assignment, then a WhatsApp video round and finally F2F.

Through 1,200+ applications, I finally selected 6 profiles, starting March.

I am a firm believer in @peterthiel's one task, one person philosophy
So the team was structured such that everyone was responsible for ONLY one task

1. Content ideas
2. Videography
3. Video editing
4. LinkedIn (+TikTok) distribution
5. FB+IG distribution
6. YouTube distribution

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.

"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics –
https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
Still wondering about this 🤔
