Just a ginger learning SQL! (She/He/They/Them) Vintage aesthetic, modern values, disabled. Views do not reflect my employer.

I dance like an overly confident middle age white dude… probably at a wedding.
Apparently it’s not just man-colds that are worse for men… it’s flu shots too…

mRNA vaccines like what Canada is now producing and researching thanks to the previous Liberal government under PM Trudeau and continued support from the current Liberal government under PM Carney.
This looks promising for cancer specific mRNA vaccines.

Accessibility issue you haven’t considered in your business:

Hand dryers aren’t always accessible for mobility users. A hand dryer that isn’t as strong as me blowing on my hands, isn’t drying anything. Now I have to try not to slip off my mobility device with wet hands. Which can lead to falls.

“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”

In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination

In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment

We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.

There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.

Who have needs that must be met.

Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Heads up Alberta. You only get this info if you click “preorder vaccine-order vaccines.” Found out from another friend with cancer. Not great for folks at risk.

You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.

Once again. It’s the librarians holding the line.

In my mind… she looks like one of these librarians. youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8

Only Danielle Smith can make me glad I’ve got cancer.

Yay! Free vaccine!

*note: I’ll be fine. Very fine. Surgery soon.

The #AlbertaGovernment / #UCP increased registry costs w/no notice as of Oct 1. More ways to increase fees and taxes while keeping us distracted.

It’s not at all in the news. Why is that? @globalnews.ca @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social @albertandp.ca @naheednenshi.bsky.social @rachelgilmore.bsky.social

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time… yet most believe they’re the exception.

They think it’ll never happen to them.

That they will “try harder” their way out of it.

That we could get better if we “really wanted to”.

Health is temporary. Disability is not a moral failing.

About one in three Canadians say country belongs to Indigenous people: poll

Hey Canada, Trump brought up his whole “Canada should be the 51st State” again today, for the first time in a while, to a room full of all the top-ranked military leaders in the United States.

I’m sure that’s a coincidence. Right?

I have to say in all my years as a journalist, I've never heard a government employee say that a youth should be assaulted for speaking their mind.
At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

Federal Liberals are cutting back on temporary foreign workers coming to Canada. But what about those already here, who continue to work in precarious conditions, during an anti-immigrant backlash?

Not only more survivable. My care and scaring were significantly different than my Moms, 20 years apart. Same stage. Heck same position on the “clock” and side. I had moments where my treatment felt so much milder than I remember hers, that I said “I have cancer, right?”

Dear fellow bisexuals,

If you whip out your finger guns and cannot remember what they are called… they are not your finger bangs.

Don’t say it.

This has been a public service announcement.

If you were in the radiology clinic and got an eye full when I was in the bathroom, you’re welcome.

My purse fell off the little shelf, then knocked over my cane which hit the door open button. I’m still not sure how that real life #MouseTrap happened.
