I started a medication that in theory, if it works, could return my heart to a normal rate. I’m still taking beta blockers. I don’t know if this is a concern because no one is following this. Not the dr who prescribed it, not my cardiologist, not my GP. Just me and my gc girlies against the world.

Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal.

I would love @susanholtnb.bsky.social and the minister of health to weigh in on this.

Woke up to pee and for some reason I decided to punt this thing again and look what changed … now if only the actual healthcare system would switch to respirators and deploy HEPA and other IAQ improvements.

My conclusion from this evening's watch of Antiques Roadshow: there is money in boxes.
September 30, 2025 at 1:32 AM
Antiques Roadshow really just hits all the things I want to know about things. How'd you get it? Where'd you get it? When'd ya get it? What is it? How old is it? Where's it from? How much is it worth? Mmm, yes, yes. Autism by autistics for autistics.

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

Harvest is over. School is in. Illnesses spreading like crazy.

We do not have any rapid tests, and we’ve decided we’re not going to be fundraising for more.

It’s not fair to you to be funding things like this. (1)

They won't though because covid existing is inconvenient to them 🥲
We are unfortunately removing rapid tests from our request form temporarily as we’ve exhausted our stock. We have plenty of masks.

It sure would be cool for the government to step in as the back to school illnesses really make it out to the community.

“Recent studies suggest that slow, tactile tasks, such as knitting, may activate brain systems in ways that support long-term cognitive health in various ways, including engaging memory, attention, and motor function, while helping to regulate stress.”

How knitting may be rewiring your brain
“Grandma hobbies” like knitting are making a comeback among Gen Z—but it’s not just for nostalgia. Neuroscience shows these tactile pastimes may help preserve brain health as we age.

WOW. Look at this story in Newsweek about a couple of fit adults in NB heavily affected by COVID. Imagine if @govnb.bsky.social had told people there was evidence AGAINST exercising directly after infection! #nbpoli www.newsweek.com/mom-captures...
Mom captures happy family moment—not knowing hours later life would change
Tracey Gairns Brioux told Newsweek it was like "an out-of-body experience"; she watched it all unfold but was totally powerless.

The fact that JR is on a podcast (that appears to be put on my Porter O’Brien) talking about the pandemic is gross. The fact that people who are to support disabled people in this province are falling over themselves in to praise her is worse.

JR is directly responsible for death and disability.

She knew covid was airborne. She knew long covid was a significant risk to anyone who got covid. She knew it in 2020, and she. did. nothing. Russell is a monster who put her pay cheque above her ethics, and she's an embarrassment to her profession.
PR firm Porter Obrien is trying to rehab Dr Russell’s image. I wonder to what end. This isn’t just for shits and giggles. There has to be a purpose to it. #nbpoli

My partner and I started watching The Sopranos together. He's seen it, I've only seen bits and pieces. I just had an epiphany. Tony's psychiatrist would LOVE Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Oops the reason I posted this was to say that we’ve had the busiest day since January in terms of mask distro. People want to be safe.

A well fitted respirator can also help reduce the smokes impact on your body.

We have free respirators in kids and adult sizes. They are free to anyone in New Brunswick. We can deliver, arrange a pickup or even mail them if we don’t have a volunteer close.
(1/2) There is a high probability that smoke from active wildfires will impact the air quality in certain regions of New Brunswick this week.

A heat alert is also in place, which can make the effects of smoke worse, especially for vulnerable people.

@susanholtnb.bsky.social The rollout of the changes to central booking at Horizon have been SO poorly done. It took me TWO. MONTHS. to get all the tests I needed after I developed what appeared to be inflammatory breast cancer. It took multiple weeks to get an ultrasound and mammogram
I decided to bite the bullet and go into the DECH for bloodwork. I booked my appointment online and off we went. I am being tested for a lot of things but specifically Hlab27. My mom has AS and I have symptoms. They only draw that test mon to thurs before noon. I didn’t know this until I showed up.

You know what I don’t have spare cash for? Going to Fredericton twice because Horizon didn’t have the foresight to anticipate literally any issue with this self booking system.

This is so frustrating.

There was no way for me to know this until I showed up … for my appointment at 2:15.

There seems to be an issue with no one but you and your dr seeing the req before you actually show up.

I am 1/5th of a single income (5 digit number) household with 2 disabled members.

We will be at Pride with all of our mask and test supplies! In the evening, we’ll be putting together a CR box. Come say hi, grab a comfy respirator to wear and celebrate as safely as we can.

There's a cyber truck driving around hauling an airstream and I just... Bro, why do you love stainless steel so much? Also, those are two very opposite design styles. Airstream is no sharp edges and the cyber truck is ALL sharp edges.
