I have just learned of another 9 family doctors leaving this province. They don’t want me to spill their names as they want to properly notify their patients. But the exodus continues, and grows quicker, despite what the lying politicians, and their army of trolls, say.

I think I’m done ordering the large expensive salads from Boston Pizza Pizza. It’s snack size.

So, Amazon wants everyone to return to the office. Does that mean they also want us to return to the mall and supporting small local businesses?

It rained for a few minutes in Gaza this morning. This is how around a million forcibly displaced Palestinians in makeshfit tents experienced it. Israel's genocide continues before the world's very eyes, the suffering persists, and not a single action...

Okay lemme tell y'all I am worried about the increasing number of food recalls, especially of cheap or pre-prepared food. This is a disability issue. Too poor to throw out/buy better, too tired to do all the chopping, and too many dietary needs to eat safe.

Just a reminder that our political and media classes reward certain people and certain ideologies through incentives that are both open and hidden, creating a cycle of worsening conditions and an aggressive defense of the status quo that regularly normalizes authoritarianism.

I was an ableist asshole when I first became a teacher. Because that’s what I was taught! In my defense, academic institutions told me a strict attendance policy was required. What changed my perspective & my assessment criteria? Disabled students 🧵

Chronically ill people don’t want a diagnosis just because we’re looking for something to be wrong. We want a diagnosis so that we can validated, learn about our illness, figure out how to accommodate ourselves, and maybe find ways to manage it. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

So, autistic people are more likely to have temperature regulation issues than nonautistic people, and I feel like this isn't talked about enough. (It has to do with the size of the hypothalamus)

No one doubts their disabilities more than the disabled person themselves. Trust me, we are far, far more likely to lie to ourselves as everything is fine, than we are too admit we’re not… so by the same we say we need help, we're way beyond the point of actually needing it.

Today, we release our new qualitative research report focused on the lived experiences of trans and non-binary youth in Alberta. It’s important to remember that these are the voices that we should be listening to and supporting. #abpoli #ableg Read: macewan.ca/c/documents/dr…

Saw Ashwyn Singh in #yyc. The man is so funny. But also… I’ve been so lost & angry at the world since my sis died. His Vegan Sister jokes were the balm my spirit needed. For the record I’m the one who came out as vegan, she’s the one who came out as herself.

Lots of this in #Alberta as of late.

Every few months, some ER doctor goes viral for saying you need to take it very seriously when a male patient says his wife made him come in, and I'm infuriated that women are considered reliable ONLY when they're saying a man needs care, but not when she needs care herself. 🙃

#CovidIsNotOver This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people don’t know it’s airborne, don’t know the risks. 1

Time stood still for me today. So I took a nap.

The reality is, both of the Human Development metrics (life expectancy and years of schooling) are largely Provincially controlled. Canada falling down this list reflects years of criminally underfunded healthcare & education by Conservative governments in AB, SK, and ON.

Sometimes Born SQL and I make movies. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to win awards. youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8

I think we need to send the Night Call team to the #AlbertaGovernment for a chat. Specifically the librarians. #AbPoli #AbLeg youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8?si…
