Summary of Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right by Michael Bach

Birds of All Feathers argues that diversity and inclusion go beyond quotas or compliance; they create workplaces where people feel respected, valued, and able to contribute. Michael Bach shows that organizations thrive when they intentionally build inclusive cultures that embrace difference.

Using the metaphor of birds with different feathers, Bach explains that people bring unique identities, experiences, and perspectives to work. He urges leaders to go beyond good intentions by addressing bias, challenging assumptions, using inclusive language, and creating equitable opportunities.

A central theme is that inclusion is an ongoing practice, not a one-time initiative. Bach offers practical tools for examining behaviours, policies, and culture, stressing curiosity, humility, accountability, and continuous learning.

Ultimately, Birds of All Feathers presents diversity and inclusion as human and organizational strengths that drive belonging, innovation, collaboration, and success.

White As Snow is coming to Edmonton’s Fringe Festival!

“Rose-Ingrid Benjamin - Haitian, Q***r, eldest immigrant daughter, former worship leader and missionary - traces the arc from altar to aftermath through spoken word, humour, song and story.

“It's not a clean narrative about leaving faith behind. It's a show that holds love and harm in the same space, and asks what it means to believe, to belong, and to walk away.

“First developed at the Edinburgh Fringe. Premiered in New York this April, where one audience member called it "beautiful and gut-wrenching and hilarious and absolutely must-see."

Come see the show that The Daniels Review called
“Uncomfortable, complicated and entirely human.” at this year’s New York City Fringe Festival.
https://www.thedanielsreview.com/2026/04/white-as-snow-nyc-fringe-2026-april.html

White As Snow ( ) will be at the ATB Westbury Theatre from August 15th to 22nd.

Tim Hortons launches its Harry Potter campaign on August 12. If you want to say something about it, the next few days are when it counts.

Licensed Harry Potter products generate royalties for J.K. Rowling, who has spent years and a substantial amount of her own money campaigning against trans rights and trans healthcare. At a time when anti-trans hate crimes have been rising every year for the past 4 years, this is an absurdly thoughtless and expensive decision for a company that has spent decades setting itself as a brand that cares about every Canadian.

One ask first: nearly every Tims location is franchisee-owned. Local small business owners, many of whom put their savings into a single store. They had no say in this and no power to change it.

Send it up, not sideways. → [email protected]

That's the brand's press desk, monitored by people whose job is reputational risk. A complaint at the counter gets logged as a store issue and closed there.

Full toolkit - the three emails that matter, what to ask for, and a letter template.

5 minutes, start to finish:

Becoming More Confident with Pronouns

Many of us learned only she/he pronouns growing up.

Building comfort with they/them and neopronouns takes practice reading aloud, using them in low-stakes moments, and trying them out until they feel natural.

Correct pronoun use is foundational allyship: it signals care, reduces harm, and supports greater safety and belonging.
