Chronic pain is your body is screaming “im in pain” and you are like ok what’s wrong and your body's like “that part is actually a secret”

I'm a PhD candidate at U of T and a TA for an undergrad acting/performance class. I also have multiple health conditions that make me higher risk for COVID. I've already had it twice despite still wearing an N95 every time I leave the house. I'm really worried about this fall.

This is so depressing and upsetting. Your pet is not possessed, they are sick or have treatable behaviour issues.

More people have died of COVID in Ontario this summer than in the summers of 2020, and 2021. Let that sink in for a moment. This is a weekly humbug reminder: youtu.be/_2tScZLArsM

Bill Hader is the only celebrity wearing a mask in a room full of high powered peer pressure. Let this example help you next time you feel like the weirdo. Weird is good.

Are you using RATs properly? Make sure you are doing back of throat, cheeks, roof *and* your nose for at least 10 seconds each.

Removing public health protections "aligns with society". True, if the society is recklessly ableist and completely insensitive to public health. Everyone for themselves is not my "society". Everybody will be a lot less safe on Oct 1.

Canada is ending mask requirements on planes after Sept 30. Please bring them back here too! Now is a good time to also upgrade your masks. I just purchased a P100 from Donate A Mask - Canada - check them out. They send free, better PPE and RATs if you are in need! #BringBackMasks

The single best description of living with an autoimmune illness I have ever read.

Things are not looking great. We need to #BringBackMasks asap, please.

Want to stay safe but can't find a mask that fits properly? Now you can grab a sampler pack of 16 different type/sizes of N95-equiv masks from our charity fundraising store so you can find the best fit for you and yours! buymask.ca

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re really burnt-out and exhausted AF from being in survival mode for so long.

Quite a large proportion of “progressives” who mocked the antimask convoys just a few months ago are now refusing to mask indoors. It was just about popularity, I guess. Not ethics, not equity—and not even self-preservation, since COVID’s transmission mechanics haven’t changed.

Lots of people asking what’s in front of me on stage… No they aren’t fridges/monitors, they’re air purifiers to make it safer for me as a clinically vulnerable performer. 2 x Mini Blasts made by SmartAirUK angled on amp stands. Air quality is monitored in real time.

Whether or not the World Health Organization (WHO) decides to end the global emergency, #COVID will remain a threat to our collective health for years to come. My latest explores 6 key reasons why — from this virus’ unpredictability, to our need for better vaccines: cbc.ca/news/health/co…

NEW: #COVID19 will officially remain a global emergency at this time, World Health Organization (WHO) announces. Committee concerns included “continued virus evolution in the context of unchecked circulation of SARS-CoV-2 and the substantial decrease in Member States’ reporting of data.”

This is racism, ableism, sanism, and classism in action. Not making basic shelter available in the coldest months is beyond cruel & a human rights abuse. This decision will result in more deaths before winter is through. John Tory @McKelvieTO Paula Fletcher
