Me: I’m finally dealing with my health!

Also me: forgetting to mention the growths/lumps because the hospital only deals with the ‘acute’ issues & the local walk-in doctor is such a condescending asshole who told me to shut up & not interrupt him (when he ignored everything I said 2 mins prior)

😭…but I don’t want 25cm of snow😭

Since I have bare farm fields on two sides I get a lot of snow drifts blowing in to sometimes double it. I have squall alerts too, so it’ll be windy

I’m soooo not done with winter prepping outside. Been busy with health stuff

Nowhere in Ontario can a worker afford the basic necessities of life—food, water, health care/medicine, shelter—earning a minimum wage.

Why then is the minimum wage not a #LivingWage?

I just moved my couch to the weightroom and replaced it with my recumbent exercise bike and a big blue yoga/exercise ball? (🤷‍♀️ whatever it’s called)

“It’ll be fiiiiine” is what I tell myself as I cycle for a few hours- while binging Greys Anatomy before Netflix boots me out (mom forgot to logout)

Can I meet your chickens?
-No, biosecurity measures are in place to protect the flock against bird flu

Can you let them outside?
-No, biosecurity measures are in place to protect the flock against bird flu. Birds are still migrating *points to flocks of birds in fields*

Bird Flu isn’t real

Hey, new idea…. Instead of hiring an international firm to give you a report made by AI w/fake citations & charging you 1.6mil…

Try recruiting a scientist/grad student from your local university. I could have done it correctly, for a year’s salary at federal min. wage

Saving you 1.2 mil in tax $$

I have spent an avg of 4 days/month in the hospital this year. Which doesn’t sound like much, until I realized it’s only been since June so it’s closer to a week per month

After the diagnoses’, wait time is 12- 18 months for the specialists I need

FYI This isn’t a pity post, it’s to educate

Did I do the thing I said I would never do?
-Yes, a wish-list (in bio)

Contents?
-Winter’s worth of Meal Replacement Drinks +Milk Powder

Why?
-Nutrition in the winter is hard, w/few food-bank veggies to make soup with

-My medical diet isn’t covered 🤷‍♀️ apparently

-GFM/$ scammers are bad, mmkay

The person Doug Ford has appointed to the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators doesn’t know what ECEs do.

You’ll be surprised to learn that Julie O’Driscoll is a Conservative donor and former comms director for MPP Steve Clark, who resigned amid the Greenbelt land swap controversy.

Today was another impromptu ear surgery (removing more masses from ear)

Another hearing test. Better this time, worked my way up from profound loss to moderate impairment.

Suctioned my tubes to drain more infection from middle+inner ear. More antibiotics, more cipro drops. Back again in 10 days.

#ontpoli Ford is being typical Ford and trying to push through destroying rent control, among a dozen other heinous things about this bill, while no one is paying attention.
BREAKING: Doug Ford is rushing through his attack on renters, Bill 60.

No on can afford a place to live and the cost of rent is sky-high. Bill 60 will make it easier for corporate landlords to raise rents and evict you.

Join in me in taking a stand.

BILL 33 HAS PASSED.
It will:
- ⏫ Ministerial power over school boards, allowing for a Minister to override local democracy and decision-making.
- ⏫ Ministerial power to force schools and school boards to abide by political directives, like forcing police back into schools.

Happy Birthday Kiddo!!! Thanks for showing me what love really is! You brought more meaning into my life than any of my accomplishments or dreams could possibly achieve

I couldn’t have imagined I would ever love anything or anyone more than myself, until I had you!

Cheers to more years!
November 19, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Am I crying while watching romance movies? Yes

I like to remind myself that true love exists but that it isn’t for me

Drama? Yeah
Thriller? For sure
Comedy? Always
Horror? Unfortunately
Sci-fi? Weirdly, it happened too

But a happily ever after? Unlikely

Tragedy… probably

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic.

Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim.

Four of mine were in there.

People seem more concerned with the ways feeding poor kids can go wrong, than coming up with solutions to make sure it works.

I had been sent home from school for throwing up stomach acid & ‘tummy aches’ too many times in grades 0-5. I would have cried w/ joy over a english muffin pizza

Bill 33 silences parents + cuts student services (for assault/rape, low-income)

Bill 60 makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants + raise rents (cuts payment options for those slightly behind)

I just emailed my MPP to vote NO.
