I started a medication that in theory, if it works, could return my heart to a normal rate. I’m still taking beta blockers. I don’t know if this is a concern because no one is following this. Not the dr who prescribed it, not my cardiologist, not my GP. Just me and my gc girlies against the world.

Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal. I would love @susanholtnb.bsky.social and the minister of health to weigh in on this.

Woke up to pee and for some reason I decided to punt this thing again and look what changed … now if only the actual healthcare system would switch to respirators and deploy HEPA and other IAQ improvements.

My conclusion from this evening's watch of Antiques Roadshow: there is money in boxes.

Antiques Roadshow really just hits all the things I want to know about things. How'd you get it? Where'd you get it? When'd ya get it? What is it? How old is it? Where's it from? How much is it worth? Mmm, yes, yes. Autism by autistics for autistics.

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

Harvest is over. School is in. Illnesses spreading like crazy. We do not have any rapid tests, and we’ve decided we’re not going to be fundraising for more. It’s not fair to you to be funding things like this. (1)

They won't though because covid existing is inconvenient to them 🥲

“Recent studies suggest that slow, tactile tasks, such as knitting, may activate brain systems in ways that support long-term cognitive health in various ways, including engaging memory, attention, and motor function, while helping to regulate stress.” 🧶

WOW. Look at this story in Newsweek about a couple of fit adults in NB heavily affected by COVID. Imagine if @govnb.bsky.social had told people there was evidence AGAINST exercising directly after infection! #nbpoli www.newsweek.com/mom-captures...

The fact that JR is on a podcast (that appears to be put on my Porter O’Brien) talking about the pandemic is gross. The fact that people who are to support disabled people in this province are falling over themselves in to praise her is worse. JR is directly responsible for death and disability.

She knew covid was airborne. She knew long covid was a significant risk to anyone who got covid. She knew it in 2020, and she. did. nothing. Russell is a monster who put her pay cheque above her ethics, and she's an embarrassment to her profession.

My partner and I started watching The Sopranos together. He's seen it, I've only seen bits and pieces. I just had an epiphany. Tony's psychiatrist would LOVE Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Oops the reason I posted this was to say that we’ve had the busiest day since January in terms of mask distro. People want to be safe.

A well fitted respirator can also help reduce the smokes impact on your body. We have free respirators in kids and adult sizes. They are free to anyone in New Brunswick. We can deliver, arrange a pickup or even mail them if we don’t have a volunteer close.

We are overjoyed to announce that the CR Box Lending Library is now LIVE! We are limiting this pilot project to the Fredericton Area for the time being. Book A CR Box Here -> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Request Masks and Rapid Tests -> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

@susanholtnb.bsky.social The rollout of the changes to central booking at Horizon have been SO poorly done. It took me TWO. MONTHS. to get all the tests I needed after I developed what appeared to be inflammatory breast cancer. It took multiple weeks to get an ultrasound and mammogram

You know what I don’t have spare cash for? Going to Fredericton twice because Horizon didn’t have the foresight to anticipate literally any issue with this self booking system. This is so frustrating.

There was no way for me to know this until I showed up … for my appointment at 2:15. There seems to be an issue with no one but you and your dr seeing the req before you actually show up. I am 1/5th of a single income (5 digit number) household with 2 disabled members.

We will be at Pride with all of our mask and test supplies! In the evening, we’ll be putting together a CR box. Come say hi, grab a comfy respirator to wear and celebrate as safely as we can.

There's a cyber truck driving around hauling an airstream and I just... Bro, why do you love stainless steel so much? Also, those are two very opposite design styles. Airstream is no sharp edges and the cyber truck is ALL sharp edges.

Once you've accepted that genocide isn't a hard line, you aren't surprised anymore.

If you don't play the air drums to In the Air Tonight, what are you even doing with your life?

So this weekends weather looks … pretty terrible. We can’t build filters in the rain unfortunately so we are keeping a close eye on the weather and plan on making a final decision Wed/Thurs. Cross everything that the forecast clears up.

Listen, Taylor, I'm happy for you but I really, really was looking forward to rep TV since you ruined my mental health with TTPD.

You know who's always been there for? The Spice Girls.

Sanofi has a stellar reputation, a global marketing deal w Novavax, & invested $1.5 B in new vaccine manufacturing facilities in Canada 🇨🇦 Novavax has a superior Covid vaccine, a great adjuvant, & plans for new Flu vaccines. Let's hope it all comes together 🤞 ir.novavax.com/press-releas...

Mask distribution is a community effort and everyone knows that but I don’t know if they how deep it actually goes. A perfect stranger just brought 6000 masks to my house donated by another who happened to know someone who knows me. Now we’ll distribute them to you. A group project.

Last month, EECD released the results of air quality testing from the 2023 - 2024 school year. Data was again presented as a PDF chart, making analysis difficult. I used their data to create visuals and a report, of sorts. You can read the full report here (PDF on OneDrive): buff.ly/msa9XeV

My exhaustion mantra. Where I can’t create inspiration I’ll create gratitude for what I’m blessed to witness. Where I can’t create words I’ll create space to listen to voices that need acknowledging and connection. Where I can’t create peace I’ll be disciplined in my hope for others to find it.

Criminal in 2025 to continue to deny how this illness and others truly spread. Intentional ignorance on Covid goes against everything hospitals and healthcare claim to be about. Keep calling out the harmful lies. Model better. Fight for better.

@ipaccanada.bsky.social needs to stop pretending covid is not predominantly airborne. IPAC must acknowledge facts and reality: majority of transmission is airborne. We need respirators. We need HEPA in hospital. Stop killing patients! Stop harming workers!

Hospitals are the only place still doing any kind of individual testing that gets reported anywhere for Covid. They’re in total control of the testing. No testing? No sequences. No variant monitoring. No data. No problem. Misaslignment of incentives.

Executives frame this internally as a recruitment/retention issue; giving employees a “break” from PPE. But the hazard remains; a risk for both staff and patients as well as visitors and contractors. We don’t do “seasonal” helmets or steel toe/shank boots.

Hospitals and health authorities across Canada that brought back some form of masking (usually in certain areas of the facility) for “respiratory virus season” are now announcing the end of masking. Note: COVID is not seasonal. And HAI Covid will rise.

Our filters have been ordered and are on the way and the countdown is on. The lending library is close to being a reality and when I tell you I could scream. We can’t wait to be able to help learn and stay safe(r) as they gather. We have masks and rapid tests at the link in my pinned as always.

#COVID19 didn’t end. Its story just stopped being told. A new story, rooted in the way we live now, would necessitate the telling of present-day truths, by @flannerydean.bsky.social canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/04/c... via @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social @nicktsergas.ca

Oh no, look what I did vm.tiktok.com/ZMBPtAkPj/

Look at those assholes toasting sending people back to work without mitigations. They’re responsible for an ongoing mass-disabling event and instead of taking responsibility and ensuring sick people get care, they’re hoping Trump will force people to just die off. It’s eugenics.

That guitar riff between the first verse and the chorus in Northern Attitude always makes me think of this.

I don't know what it is about @hozier.bsky.social's Butchered Tongue. Unreal, Unearth, Unending is full of heartbreak, but when he sings, "So far from home for a stranger to call you 'darlin'" I turn into a blubbering mess.
