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!

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #3 - patched through a bystander call from 911 dispatcher to online doc, significant trauma from an ATV accident - literally not a single EMS crew in the vicinity, local ED closed, all resources actively transporting patients 1/5

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. #AbPoli #PublicHealth #AbGov #AbLeg #UCP #NDP

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 The world needs to thank our librarians. #librarians #BookBans

Only Danielle Smith can make me glad I’ve got cancer. Yay! Free vaccine! *note: I’ll be fine. Very fine. Surgery soon. #AbPoli #AbGov #ILiveInARagingDumpsterFire

It’s ok. That’s the lighting department. They’re feral. #film

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. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

this. every word.

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.

RIP Darren Markland 💔 #Canada Colleagues, politicians pay tribute to prominent Edmonton doctor killed in mountain biking accident Markland became increasingly well known during the COVID-19 pandemic www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

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? My latest podcast for @breachmedia.ca with Deena Ladd breachmedia.ca/confronting-...

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. #2SLGTBQIA+ #bisexual #queer #FingerGuns #DosAndDonts #awkward

@rottenindenmark.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social do Weston Price foundation. Dear god they’ve done some messy crap.

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.

I looked online for the cost of Covid vaccines. Looks like about $8-$15 USD per dose. The Alberta govt was also paying about $25 per dose for pharmacies to administer it. Governments also bulk buy, so the cost may be less per dose. It shouldn’t cost public health more to administer. 1/2

I see you #Loblaws. 54g less per pound in a 4lb pack of meat for the same price. That’s 216g or almost a half pound less meat. Saving isn’t as simple as you advertise. #Shrinkflation #GroceryCosts

I live in a housing coop in Canada. We need more coops in North America.

#RPGaDay2025 Day 26: Nemesis Nemesis are more than mere villains. They're part of the characters' stories, and, as such, a perfect narrative tool.

They love to harp that “Alberta is the richest province in Canada.” But for the way we care for health care, schools and roads. It should read “Alberta paved with neglect, richest pockets lined in gold.”

I watched a forest walk around at work yesterday.

I’ve now been told only fat people get skin cancer, and that I need to use ivermectin to cure it… wish it wasn’t so damned obvious. #skinCancer #bcc #MindYourBusiness

Someone want to let the weather know we’re out here trying to #KeepAlbertaRolling

Having one of those… I can’t believe I get paid for this! Days.

Just read this remarkable graphic novel by @georgetakei.bsky.social (Captain Sulu) At a time when so many people are being othered and dehumanized in the United States & globally, his book is a reminder that this has happened in the past, and must be resisted en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Ca...

“I’m heading to crafty, can I get you anything.” Is a way to say you care. #film

I think “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret” will be banned now. Can’t learn about periods before grade 9. Didn’t realize #JudyBlume was explicit. *sigh* guess we’re sending the librarians for the Alberta Government. #AbPoli

I am not good at saying goodbye to loved ones.

My love: “how did steam open?” Me: “it just opened on its own? Seriously?” My love: “it did!” Me: “then Steam must be selling hard” My love: “not until Borderlands”

Sometimes @randolphwest.ca and I love to make short films. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to win awards with them. youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8

This Canada Creep looked in the window and watched me change. #CanadaGoose #MurderChicken

More reason to avoid. In the chocolate store I worked at over Christmas we had people bringing in kids with active looking chicken pox. Never mind measles is everywhere now. People are fully comfortable going around sick. They’d have less call outs with masks.

That moment when your good friend comes over and you show them your boobies and they say “nice tits”, and you have to correct them because, in fact, they are not tits but boobies.

Can anyone tell me if Michelle Rempel is even in the country this election? She’s got me blocked on all social media for asking how she’d vote on conversion therapy.

Premier talked about paying higher rates so they can pay for the cost of building the CSF Debate exists if taxpayers should pay for any/all of the infrastructure costs BUT, consider this: does it make sense to pay for CSFs if Hospital ORs sitting empty? https://buff.ly/3XcssSG

A few important reminders about measles: 1. It’s one of the most contagious diseases on the planet and is spread by airborne transmission. 2. Measles lasts in the air for hours after the infected person has left the room. 3. Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer over 95% protection. /1

So… did you know allergy testing isn’t covered in Alberta anymore. Really fun to suddenly have new food allergies, get referred for testing, and then get a call to say “bring cash to your allergy test.” #AlbertaAdvantage

Been in the lab too many times this week. I hate lab tests. EVERY staff member has been in a mask. What do they know that the rest of us don’t? Considering it’s a half hour in line and much longer in the wait room… slap on a mask. Folks are so gross.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Videos of UK floods and LA fires. Disabled people die first in climate disasters. Left behind. Deprioritised for healthcare. Flickering flames. Sparking wires. How many people there have photosensitive epilepsy? Stress, no sleep and lack of meds or food triggers seizures. I lose awareness.
