To me, all this talk about why we have so many respiratory illnesses to fight right now, it's all missing the point. The point should be prevention. We should be asking if we prevented these illnesses for 3 seasons, why did we decide not to prevent it this year?

Hey Twitter! It’s my #birthday on Monday 🥳 and all I want for it is for you to 1) email your MPP about the changes to #wetland evaluation in Ontario & #bill23 saveontariowetlands.weebly.com/take-action.ht…; 2) submit a critique on the Env Registry about these changes. ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6160

Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.

😭😭😭

Okay so I have been avoiding twitter for a bit but I came back just to say that I heard You're Wrong About... describe Steve Nicks as an emotional daredevil and this is now what I want on my gravestone (for better or for worse)

Same story in Canada. "Methodological expertise is lost" as a matter of course in research labs across the country.

Abuse survivors often grow up to be super high achievers-- who also sabotage the sh*t out of themselves on personal & professional levels. Achievement & self-sabotage aren't mutually exclusive. Ask me how I know. You're not "crazy" or alone. It's a trauma thing.

A lot of y'all who said I couldn't fit this whole starfish in my mouth are real quiet these days.

My body is making me the most insufferable person in this heat wave. I have a fever and chills so I’m freezing and keep complaining about how cold I am 😬
