Hello everyone! I am looking forward learning more about Bluesky and connecting with some kindred spirits. 😊

My bio includes a lot of the highlights about me, but if you have any questions, please let me know. I am looking forward to building a harmonious community here.

It’s POTS awareness day—a blood flow problem common after Covid.

POTS can be subtle—I often wonder how many people who feel rundown, anxious or distracted have this treatable condition.

Main criteria is heart rate going up >30bpm when going from laying down to standing—smthg you can check at home!
What Does POTS Stand For? POSTURAL: Related to the position of your body ORTHOSTATIC: Related to standing upright TACHYCARDIA: Increased heart rate SYNDROME: A group of symptoms

Did anyone think that Trump would sign a trade deal with Canada?
His latest silly tantrum says it all. The American "century" is over. A malignant narcissist killed it all.
Canada is moving on.
We will do business with China and Europe.
Bye Bye Mon Cowboy.

While the rest of us focus on fighting back against Donald Trump, Pierre Poilievre remains obsessed with Justin Trudeau. i think he was triggered by the Katy Perry/Justin on the yacht photo.
Poilievre has no policies or plan, he is using the extremist playbook.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air!

Let’s do this!

Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.
