I wonder who we all might have been had our existence not been deemed a problem to be solved.

Am I feverish from my vaccines this morning or is it just a million fucking degrees outside at the end of September

Never wonder whether it's COVID or FLU again. ANNOUNCING THE FIRST combo rapid tests FOR HOME, approved by Health Canada. Detect COVID, FLU A, and FLU B with just one swab. This is a great tool to have ready the next time a family member isn't feeling well.

This is a fascinating conversation between one man who is an incredibly intelligent writer/political thinker and one man who is Ezra Klein.

I wonder if it will ever snow on my birthday (October 5) ever again 🥲

But a lot of money for pipeline projects. LGBTQ+, women groups brace for funding cuts as Ottawa looks to trim spending www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/2025/...

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them

Nuit Blanche looked like a lot of DJ sets

HR: "What are your salary expectations?" Me: "somewhere between $47 and $313,000 per hour"

Dilemma: love having the windows open and letting the crisp fall air in, but said crisp fall air is an assault on your sinuses 🤧🤧🤧

I hope somebody somewhere is keeping a list of the legal loopholes that need to be closed the next time (if ever) a normal person is president.

Still no communication from the province, but Shoppers Osborne has (confirmed) both flu and Covid vaccines as of today. Walk-ins are available, appointments too:

🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.: She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman. She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)

i keep cracking up at this post on AI writing

This December marks 10 years since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report and there is still no centralized, easily accessible database to look up when/where your relatives attended residential school.

Filming has become a proxy for activism, and while filming is critical - if you’re witnessing something illegal or horrible, and 17 people are already recording, are you adding anything useful by being the 18th? Or does it become an excuse to not intervene, to stay at a safe distance.

Having some real tinfoil hat old hippy thoughts about the consequences of experiencing things that are happening to you in real time through the lens of your phone camera instead of your own eyes.

hey this is evil and will personally make my life harder and put my health in danger as a severely disabled person there are exceptions for people with disabilities but the excepted services are inadequate, and government of canada disability services often have prohibitively strict qualifications

Kent Dueck from Inner City Alive was on CBC Radio this morning and said a big announcement is coming soon about absenteeism in schools. Not sure if this is a provincial announcement or not... but if it is, it's absolutely going to ignore that kids are sick all the time now, and *why* they're sick.

Wish I could be a grifter. Just saw a Tiktok from a nervous system dysregulation coach for dogs

Yeah. It’s the teenagers quietly using their parents’ status…. to advocate for marginalized people at the UN…..that really gets people’s goat.

Coming from a part of the country that valued passive-aggressive “nice”, I loved to seeing a New Yorker help a stranger carry a pram down a flight of stairs while simultaneously yelling at the person to “put the damn phone away so we can get this moving.” Warms my heart.

There’s an awful lot of horses on sweaters aimed at millennials right now. What’s going on.

And I just learned that it’s not Thursday. I’m very evil now

Having to turn the AC on at the end of September is my villain origin story

“It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say, ‘We knew how to protect you, and we didn’t do it,’”

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

Shame on The Atlantic for printing this tendentious bit of bullshit.

Ironically, Shoppers in Steinbach has the earliest Covid vaccine availability (tomorrow). Still no word from the province about roll-out. I'm putting $$$ on a 4 PM Friday press release about it.

A lot of people are incapable of talking about/against RFK Jr., Donald Trump, their supporters and their policy choices without being ableist.

Their plan was always to cover up long COVID & make it invisible which is why I'm soooo excited about the upcoming "Living with Long Covid" exhibit at the Museum of Vancouver - this will bring the condition to light!

Currently an estimated 1 in 82 people in MB have Covid right now. So around 182 people are at the game with Covid, ready to infect dozens of others. At least 10% of those folks will develop Long Covid.

Evergreen reminder that Jonathan Toews has Long Covid, because even elite athletes can get it. Nobody is immune to getting LC + the more times you have Covid, the higher your chances of being disabled by it. Lots of Covid going around right now. Dozens at the arena will catch it tonight.

If the teen daughter of two A-list stars had picked a media friendly cause to advocate for, I’d imagine their would be profiles and photo shoots of her in every women/teen-aimed magazine in the country. And yet.

autistic lives are beautiful and worth living on their own terms and if you require a demonstration of relatability from someone to determine that are a human being who deserves to live a rich and full life, it is you who is the monster

"Unproven" is a hell of a word choice, AP. It's made up. It's a blatant lie. It's absolute nonsense. I can say I'm part unicorn. That's not just "unproven". It's literal BS I just made up! God, I hope the villains at Big Pharma tie his office up in a million lawsuits.

Kids are apprehended daily simply because of poverty, and then foster parents like this are given $8,000-$15,000 a month to neglect and abuse them. www.cbc.ca/1.7640100

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

I know ppl always joke about how it’s impossible to quit a gym but I just quit my gym and they made me fill out a form and walk to the directors office and HAND it to him in person and he frowned at me and said “you don’t like it here?” Should I just die

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Can we not? Autism isn't a tragedy.

Literally every 30 seconds or less someone in the office is wet coughing/hacking. And do you think any of them are masked?

I wrote about Trump and the exploitation of Charlie Kirk's murder: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/tunnel-vis...

Truly nothing better than being this cozy with a snoring dog.

Autism isn't a disease It's a developmental difference, part of the natural diversity human brains. Framing it as a disease fuels stigma. (It doesn't need to be "cured" with oversold supplements based on thin scientific evidence 😒)

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Jimmy Kimmel’s show will return after censorship outrage

Guy talking at my funeral, who has supposedly been overcome with emotion since my shocking murder: “We found an answer to autism.”

Just learned that while the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg is screening the public for measles, the staff entrance is not screened at all.

Of *all* police forces, Thunder Bay doing a landfill search for a First Nations woman without making a fuss about it is…. certainly something. It’s the right thing to do and I hope Deborah is brought home to her family. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
