A great example of why pride matters: transgender men are mentioned only once in the guidelines and it’s just to say the data is lacking. We exist.

Sneaking in a late #Caturday photo. Not sure why he always sits this way.

I struggled with organic chem all year because it was so boring, felt all over the place, and I wasnt able to attend classes. Ive been doing self taught ochem this summer and it is much easier. I understand it, I am doing better with it even though its heavier content, and I am really enjoying it!

Today would be a great day for provinces and territories to provide voluntary, publicly funded mental illness and assessment and to all the secondary factors impacting those with mental illness.

i dream of a time where being queer and trans aren't supported by c!shet people bc we might die by suicide especially as kids, but bc we're people who deserve to live - that we aren't defined by our suffering but our joy, or even just existing, and that being enough

“You let a cat sleep in your bed?” I’d let my cat borrow an electric sander if he asked.

My days currently consist of 8 hours of work and 2 hours of school and I am not complaining one bit, although Squid cries when I leave in the morning. He doesn't count school time as quality time as he felt like he was done with classes in 2023. He only provides standardized patient services now. 😔

This is going to come across as pretentious and unhelpful, but I really recommend reading books. Reading a book is the only thing I do where I feel like I'm nourishing my attention span, rather than sanding it down. The trick is to just read whatever you enjoy — not what you feel like you should.

I've been listening to the same instrumental punk playlist while studying since September, in the same order and never on shuffle, and within the last 24 hours the owner added a non instrumental song near the beginning and I did not notice until the flow was interrupted. 😭

Imagine a health official saying "we all loathe condoms" Framing an evidence-based public health tool with collective disdain undermines public confidence. The same principle applies to masks

I am so thrown off that this feels like Sunday.

Canadian COVID Forecast: May 9 - May 22, 2026 SEVERE: none VERY HIGH: AB HIGH: CAN, BC, MB, NL, North, SK MODERATE: NS, ON, PEI, QC About 1 in 188 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

The service is today 😔

This week’s migraine triggered a flare up and I truly don’t know how I functioned every single day for weeks on end like this. I was hesitant to say I thought my medication started working, but clearly there’s been lots of improvement in the past two months because I forgot what this feels like.

How all three of us feel about the fresh air and sunlight today.

Migraines are the worst.

I hear community members, family members, politicians, etc. make snide and careless remarks about individuals using medication to treat mental illness. This remarks are based on prejudice and a lack of understanding of mental illness. Policy should not be based on ignorance and prejudice.

Nightmare Nanaimo bar. That actually works really well.

My partner just bought a house (so proud of him!) so I’ve been secretly staying up late every night working on a drawing of it for him hopefully in time for his little housewarming.

It's not brainstorming if you don't use your brain to do it.

It’s really nice just having a regular old sinus headache with the weather instead of almost every joint in my body screaming at me. I’ll take any improvement.

Trying to manifest spring…..while the forecast calls for 20cm of snow.

ME: Can you not? IMMUNE SYSTEM: I literally CAN'T not.

Trying to find new glasses is the worst, especially when this is the third time in a row I haven’t made it two years between prescriptions.

We had a large morning to remind people that long term mental healthcare needs to be accessible before heading to the beach with timbits. Thank you @ariharkness.bsky.social for the good company and snacks! -🦑

First day of “summer” vacation ☀️

Last night was the first in a while that I didn't have the same recurring dream I've been having off and on since September. In the dream the world is sort of like Pokemon in that you go up to someone and they only say one phrase to you. But everyone only said "shake suspensions not solutions".

"Life is about risks. You don't need to wear that mask. You could go outside and be hit by a car anyway" True, but I take precautions there too like looking both ways when I cross the street, and wearing a seatbelt when I'm a passenger. Masks are no different.

Very excited to spend my summer doing research. Thinking about that is getting me through exam week. 😅

Please do not yell at HCWs for the length of waitlists. They do not control the number of people who need services or the level of urgency or the lack of other services. Contact your MPs. Put in complaints to NLHS. Do something that may help. Harassing HCWs is not okay.

Happy #caturday!

Classes for this year ✅ Time flies when you’re having fun.

Truthfully, my favourite Easter gift was a new vacuum. 👀

The Easter bunny came! 🐣🐶🐰

Family doc here: Patients are testing positive again for Covid-19. These are sick children, adults, and seniors because someone else went out and infected them. If you have any plans over the long weekend, please test, isolate, and mask if you must go out. Your friends and family will thank you.

I just realized that Jigger has been hiding a collection of toys in the baseboard heaters (probably for quite a while) and I am just thankful that they aren't in use anymore.

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

I’m sorry to let you know that there is going to be a new SARS CoV 2 variant once or twice a year, every year, for the foreseeable future. You don’t have to infect yourself with it. There is another way. #CovidIsntOver #MaskUp #CleanTheAir #MedSky #IDSky

Very bad choice considering all of the respiratory illness running rampant currently. Every time I walk through the hospital it's just coughing and sneezing everywhere, and almost everyone I know is sick.

Today is #WorldBipolarDay! Bipolar disorder is often misunderstood, but understanding is where change begins. Let’s replace stigma with empathy, judgment with awareness & silence with real conversations. 👉 Learn more from our booklet: mdsc.ca/edu/what-is-...

Happy #Caturday ! 🐱 #catsofbluesky

Because I’m a librarian I’m going to take the question of “what do I read if not Harry Potter” seriously. I used to love HP, so I do get the urge to want to revisit a beloved world. BUT supporting said world means supporting someone who uses the money they make from it to harm people, so instead try

I have a final project coming up where I have to write a public health promotion proposal. It was a no brainer I was choosing Covid as my topic, but it already feels insurmountable because day after day I see the pushback on what should be the bare minimum of precautions.

It took me a long time to finish my lab report this week, I finally did it, and then Word crashed and it was gone forever (autosave on but no temp files to be found). 😪

yall remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? we need a version of that campaign for AI usage
