In December of 2022, the Govt of Canada offered 96,000 bottles of Australian Tylenol (the real brand) to Alberta.

It wasn’t AHS that refused.

It was the govt, saying that wouldn’t be enough.

How many bottles were actually used in hospitals?

9,000.

f you are sensitive, please know you're #perfect just the way you are. Our sensitivity is a challenge, but it also comes with #gifts. Learning to live and thrive in an Orchid body is a journey well-worth the effort ❤️
But I hadn't asked if I was too sensitive, only if I was more sensitive than the average person. They assumed I was insulting myself, when I was genuinely curious and neutral about it. Now I know the answer definitively.
This concept has really helped me to find #gratitude, #resilience, and #creativity in this body. Before I was #diagnosed with #fibromyalgia, I felt that perhaps I was just more sensitive than others. When I tried to explore this idea, people often rushed to reassure me that I'm not too sensitive.
Finally, Orchids are highly sensitive & less resilient, but produce unique insights & creativity with the right support. We are more likely to be Spoonies, because our bodies are so reactive. I believe we're more likely to be spiritually gifted too, as we're so closely attuned to our surroundings.
First there are #Dandelions, who have low sensitivity & high resilience, but can overestimate their hardiness. Next are #Tulips with moderate sensitivity, the majority group. They ensure the world continues moving when Dandelions overdo things & Orchids are overwhelmed, the lifeblood of society.
#Sensitivity is scorned by society, but #FlowerTheory challenges this bias. It identifies 3 groups of biological sensitivity to the environment, all of which have advantages & disadvantages. All are equally valuable.

This #sigil helps #highlysenstive #Orchids like me create #balance & #thrive.

It's totally okay if you're disabled and you struggle to find disabled joy. That is a valid feeling that is okay to access. We always talk about overcoming our disabilities or being disability warriors, sure, but there is so little discussion about just sitting with however disability feels today.

While teacher on strike they came together with their kiddos to make lunch bags for Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids.

Can’t say Alberta Teachers don’t care about Alberta kids!

Last weekend gave me the gift of #NeilYoung. #HarvestMoon was my wedding song - to a man that was emotionally abusive. I didn't know if I would enjoy this song again, but now I have a whole new set of memories: a witch photoshoot, new friends, manifestation magic, & beautiful art ❤️🌕

#commisionsopen
Last weekend's full #Harvest #Supermoon was absolutely stunning! The #sigilmagic woven into this piece harnesses lunar #energy to help you #manifest your dreams. What are you wishing for this #spookyseason?

May the new moon bring you the new beginnings you need ✨🧙🏻‍♀️🌕

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.”

@jwilliamj8.bsky.social & @thejaampod.bsky.social crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)
#Sparklebum the lab has the most soulful eyes, painting her #auraportrait is easy. Loving pink, sunny yellow, and sassy red make her an ideal cuddle buddy ❤️

Want to know what your pet looks like through my eyes? #DM for more info!
This piece was wonderful to paint, simple and meditative. The sigil practically created itself 😍

What have you been reflecting on, these days?
