This is some old man, corny shit, so please bare with me…I love just about all music and I love going to shows. There’s something about being a part of the masses moving together as one. I’ve seen big venue, little venue, clubs. I love it. But there’s been something missing…When I was 18 I had a really bad experience at a club I went to in Philly to see, of all people, Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock. I’d seen them the night before but this second show, I was one of the only white people there and the show had an entirely different tone to it to the point where I felt excluded almost to the point where I felt unsafe.This sucks because my favorite genre is Hip Hop. I was a big Public Enemy/BDP fan and grew up in white washed Midwest suburbs before moving to the Philly area. I was made fun of and bullied for my music choices and excluded, so my Rob Base experience pretty much made me uncomfortable with the idea of going to a hip hop concert.That was in 96. I saw Common and a 50 cent concert from VIP boxes and outside of a very random ‘The Streets” show, I’ve forever put off setting my favorites live while in the crowd.Until last night.Another dad (who happens to be a teacher who teaches kids how to express themselves lyrically) invited me to go with him to see Denzel Curry (Who I absolutely love) at the Fillmore. He said it would be fun and have a lot of energy and that the crowd would be young. We could hang out on the side and watch it all go down.After reading about and seeing the Travis Scott stuff, I had my reservations. I’m not particularly fit and while I love a good mosh pit, I wasn’t sure what to expect so I was feeling reserved.The opening acts were incredible and so full of energy that I began to develop anxiety about being there on the sidelines, but everything was so aggressive and watching the water get passed around between sets was making me feel like I was out of my element.But something weird happened in my brain. I thought if I were there with this other guy who had experienced this, that I should at least give it a go and, being good at navigating crowds I got us center stage about ten ft away.As I looked around me, I realized that the crowd was this incredible amalgam of male and female and all colors. There was a young black kid, at least 20 years my junior, that I turned to to ask if he was okay with where I was and he said ‘Yeah man, ain’t nobody going down tonight’ and I suddenly felt safer and that 18 year old me just wanted to cry at that moment.Needless to say, the concert was insane. I had to make my way out and back in a couple times because, well, I’m old and out of shape. But not once did I feel afraid and it was amazing.I have to say, I’m proud of young people and their ability to be so inclusive. That experience was probably the greatest concert experience I’ve ever had because it broke so many things open for me and gave me hope for my kids who I hope to take to a show like that in the next 4-5 years when I think they can handle it.So that’s my story. I’m sore as hell, but full of life after that. To the younger generation, keep doing your thing. You all are amazing and coming together even more at a time when the world from my view feels like it’s coming apart.Thank you for including me and if you see a person fall, pick them up!TL;DR: Had a jolly good time at the show. via /r/Music https://ift.tt/akVjUKb

I want to say thank you (so much) to the kind young man that asked if I was okay when he spotted me crying on the lakeshore boardwalk this afternoon. He caught me in an overload of emotions, just crying at the beautiful sight of the monarch butterflies in the garden, which remind me of my father (who recently passed).It made a huge difference and truly comforted me to be reminded that people are kind.A reminder for all that such a simple act of kindness towards a stranger can make a difference, and helps to make this city a wonderful place. Stay kind everyone we are in this life together. via /r/toronto https://ift.tt/e3fCzSg

I work for a northern Ontario school board, I will not say which to help lower the risk of complete homelessness as I could actually lose my job for posting this stuff.Our union started collective bargaining this summer as many are aware. The first month or so the ministry of education essentially refused to sit down and bargain with us. The second we had every single bargaining demand refused multiple times over.Most of us working in the education system are living below poverty. Teachers, administrators and support staff below management are frequently working two jobs just to make ends meet. I am on short term disability because I can no longer complete job duties and even with our medical insurance I can’t afford to pay my bills and receive proper treatment.Today I check my work email to find that once again everything was refused. Examples of refused requests this time around:\* Paid bareavement leave\* DECE in kindergarten classes\* Quarantine leave (keep in mind the ministry still requires a quarentine period for all illnesses)\* Workplace violence committee (approximately 30% of education workers have been assaulted by a student that’s not counting other staff, public, parents etc)\* Absence replacement (yes the ministry is trying to refuse to replace absent workers)\* Paid parental leave\* Truth and reconciliation day as a holiday (education has a higher than average rate of indigenous employees. The ministry thinks a flag at half mast is enough to acknowledge ongoing genocide. Ongoing because just last year the board I work for discussed \*\*opening a residential school)\*\*The ministry of education has made it clear they intend to give us nothing and by extension, give your children nothing. I believe Doug Ford’s preferance for a privatized school system is absolutely related to this new policy by the ministry.Without public support we cannot improve our working conditions, and in turn, the facilities, quality of education and opportunities presented by the board will continue to degrade. staff will continue to be absent more and more frequently as we overwork and get sick. We will continue to lose employees from all levels (multiple superintendent and manager positions, many many support staff have quit, leaving schools understaffed and poorly managed).My particular position is the lowest paid in the board and always has been. We get the least benefits, least vacation time, fewest holidays, and least respect out of all the boards workers. Two years ago it was still one of the most desirable so called “unskilled labour” jobs in town. Now we can’t keep new hires past their first month despite the above minimum wage pay.We are expected to do more in less time for the same money every year. Our equipment is worn out and frequently breaks down. It takes months to get a broken vacuum fixed or replaced and patchwork fixes are perfectly acceptable. Vacuum is ruining a carpet because the metal is split and bent outwards on the bottom? It stillpicks up dirt keep using it. Then guess who’s thrown under the bus when the carpet is ruined?The Ontario government reported an over $2 billion surplus. The department of education did not receive $1.4 billion in expected funding this year. I cannot see how this could not be an attempt to harm the public school system in preference for the extremely expensive private system, during a time of widespread economic challenge. via /r/ontario https://ift.tt/nw3AcOK
