Tim Hortons is using unpaid volunteer work to decorate their smile cookies. These 'volunteers' include disabled ppl. Tim's makes profit from the extra customers they get coming in to buy smile cookies.

If you want to give to an org, just give them $. Don't do it this way.

Disabled/Neurodivergent folks shouldn’t have to be the ones to always point out ableism.

Disabled/ neurodivergent teachers shouldn’t be the only ones advocating for disability rights and justice in their school communities.

We are tired. We need allies.

Horrible news. Please contact your MLA and express how utterly unacceptable this is. So much illness - and disability, hospitalization, and death - is preventable. This would be a money-saving move to clean the air. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

peaks in winter.

We should stop calling a seasonal winter virus.

infection infects people in every season.

Vaccines start to wane in 6 months.

We encounter new variants in every season.

We need updated Boosters every six months, not on an annual…

Raghu Venugopal MD With current COVID infections in the range 26,000 per day in Ontario this policy makes no sense. Should we stop treating our drinking water too because cholera levels are low? 🤔

We are not doing okay.
The Statistics Canada 2-yr Covid impact update points out that the pandemic impacts public safety & social cohesion in part due to growing income inequality. But also, Covid infections are linked to increased aggression.

Novavax? Yesvavax.

This Friday May 3rd in Hamilton Ontario we'll be offering Novavax to our clients and will have extra doses.

If you're having trouble letting go of the fact that Covid does terrible things to the body and mind, feel free to DM to book a dose.

Let’s take a moment to sit in the uncomfortable feelings and be real:
- participating in current systems of power requires sacrificing safety
- taking actions based on what we know scientifically requires sacrificing participation in society

It's too bad there hasn't been any support for those who are infected & reinfected by Covid at work. Nurses, LTC workers & teachers experience very high infection rates, but the Nova Scotia Gov. hasn't made any changes to workplace safety. Many have left their professions.
