Also, I’m the oldest… 5 years older than my sister and 8 years older than my brother. Being the first-born AND a girl is real shit.

Anyway, I just needed to vent. This Christmas Day brunch carries on what my parents started. If we abandon it, I don’t see my siblings & their families at all. That makes me sad… letting go of it feels like letting go of my mom & dad. For good. 😭😭😭😭

Got a dilemma… 🧵 trying to plan a Christmas brunch for my extended family. ~30 people if they all come. We’ve done it for years, very successfully *before* covid. 1/8

Family currently cruising around Europe. They are having a blast, except for “flu, colds….” 🙄

You’ve got to be fucking kidding.

Oh this app! I flip between hating it and thinking it’s “ok”. My followers feed hasn’t refreshed in 5 days and mutuals for 4 days! What’s the point??

ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN people at HSC emerg!! 😱 Is this even safe?? @winnipegfreepress.com

Thinking of you today, Dad. Like I do everyday. Missing you a little more today than I do everyday. 😢

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN people at HSC adult emerg???!! 😱 Is this even safe?? @winnipegfreepress.com

Gee. Could it be the 2 things are related? 🤔

🎉💃🎊🙌💃💃💃😁

Yes I know it’s your dinner time. 🐈‍⬛

So Bombers fans… still hate Strevy? 🤪

Was in a TEAMS mtg at work today. When I joined there was chit-chat about a “bad cold that’s going around, it took our whole office out!” They went on to say “someone said it was probably Covid”. The absolute disbelief when they relayed that was quite startling to me. 1/6

The only way he’s getting on Mount Rushmore is if they open a prison and name it that.

Young family members beginning to experience serious health issues that I believe are related to multiple Covid infections. -32 yo with a serious & worsening DVT has been off work all summer -24&25 yo & their partners *all* dealing with lung issues, pneumonia X? -14 yo worsening anxiety 1/2

Public comms on vaccine availability in #Manitoba is definitely lacking this year, but appointments in various pharmacy online platforms are starting to pop up. Some out there for shoppers, too.

K, Bombers fans! Take the W. It’s a desperately needed 2 points. Remember, the D and special teams *did* deserve the win.

Avoid this place, folks.

Went 2 my hair appt today. I’m the only one ever 😷 there. My stylist knows why I 😷 . So do the others. But it really bugs me that the owner always takes a dig at me about it. I said today “yep, I hear Covid cases are on the rise in MB”. Consensus was “as long as they don’t shut things down again”. 😑

Wow. @mlb.com sure shit the bed on that call. #bluejays

Intranasal vaccine stops infection at the source. In 2022, Australian researchers secured nearly $1M in grants to develop an intranasal COVID vaccine. New findings show it blocks the virus in the nose, stopping it from spreading in the body and preventing transmission to others. archive.md/iaSKv

Healthcare in Manitoba continues to be a worsening disaster. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had it with the Kinew government’s excuses and constant blaming of the “previous government”. That excuse has grown old and it’s time to DO SOMETHING!

So that leaves what?… 40 some-odd million? Same as Canada has?

This would be amazing!

And these same freaks go to the ends of the earth to save a flock of ostriches infected with a highly pathogenic flu from being culled. Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

God this TSN broadcast is awful. Too much field/crowd noise drowning the tv crew out. So annoying FFS.

What’s wrong with the crap field in Hamilton? *Everyone* is slipping and sliding around. Was it oiled down, or something?

What a time to be alive!

🐈‍⬛ likes the heating pad as much as I do. 🤣

Jesus. 😬

So kids go to school to learn/master reading. And they aren’t allowed to read at school in Alberta now? What the actual fuck is that? If I were a parent there, I’d be going door to door, grabbing people to protest in the streets. Fuck you Danielle Smith.

Haha. Super Mario.

Heading to a beat down.

Good tackling Bombers. /s

Hey Rod and Glen. Take a breath and STFU. Tell us what’s happening on the filed.

RIP Steffen. You sound like one-of-a-kind. 🙏🏻💔

Hubs and I just watched #ThursdayMurderClub. We both loved it and highly recommend! 👍🏻

I just read that a show I really liked (Found, on NBC) has been cancelled after 2 seasons 😩 I really liked it and am furious that yet another tv series ends on a cliffhanger. It’s bullshit that the networks aren’t obligated to offer fans a resolution, say a 2 or 3 part series finale, etc.

Waiting for news about a seriously ill family member who lives hours away really, really sucks. 😬😩

Why is it such a struggle every single year to find a list of Winnipeg restaurants participating in Le Burger Week?? If anyone has a link, please share! 🙏🏻

A classic hallmark of pseudoscience is when proponents reverse the burden of proof on skeptics to prove them wrong rather than having to provide evidence to support their own claims. Hitchens’s razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Sad but true.

Excellent piece! Thanks Dr. Rasmussen!

Lol yes.

How come I see so many pics of people during and after chemo and they always have eyebrows? Did no one else but me lose every single hair on their body during treatment?? I had nothing, no hair anywhere, including eyelashes and brows! I was literally a blank sheet of paper, lol.

Exactly! Incredibly disappointed the Free Press has gone against what they regularly preach on the editorial page, frequently, about stopping the spread of mis-and disinformation. This story definitely sends a message that so-called alternative medicine/healing should become mainstream.

And the editor regularly writes strongly worded editorials about the need to stop the spread of misinformation and disinformation (or, lies). And *this* is published in such a positive, flattering light. I can’t even… 🤬
