presumably i haven't been called into the principal's office yet because UofT Strat Comm don't even bother reading Mastodon 🙃
Jordan fucking Peterson got to say anything actually bigoted that he wanted to on his twitter, and the stupid #UofT upper administration DIDN'T DO DIDDLY SQUAT TO HIM. so why is my fascism expert colleague suspended and he never was?
Ontario government cabinet ministers have no business telling #UofT whom to fire or not fire on the basis of personal political tweets. like, dude, either STFU or jump in the middle of Lake Ontario or preferably both
still mad as hell about this. also trying to redirect my anger in a good way
