*for the love of god please don't say "road safety is everyone's responsibility" with everything else going on in the world I don't think I can handle that take anymore.

these are the types of messages that go out that continually signal that our kids should be the ones responsible instead of for just one night they can be kids on our streets.

Morning #HamOnt,
Here are some Halloween safety tips, as we begin to purchase costumes for our little ones.
aim for costumes with light-coloured material a ensure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls
avoid costumes with masks as they restrict vision

Tom Flood @tomflood.bsky.social · 2h

Wear light coloured costumes!
Make sure they fit well!
Bring a flashlight!
Don't wear a mask!

Famously halloween costumes should be neon and bright and not dark and spooky...
The one night that we somewhat accept the presence of kids on our streets we still tell them to not full enjoy it.

Evergreen.

Tweet by @KateHarding that reads, “What haunts me is that I am just not smart enough for so many people to be this much stupider than I am.”
