It's when you're born. After all, women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. I have sons that straddle the Millennial/Gen Z divide, but the eggs were all created at the same time.

Smart! I'm enjoying cold brew hibiscus tea this summer - I'll add a pinch of salt for my workouts.

I bet Makary wonโ€™t discuss the folks who begged for the Covid vaccine as they were being intubated

Or the Covid orphans who lost their parents to the virus

What about the 400 million people disabled by Long Covid?

No, instead we get an anecdote about the one person he claims died from the vaccine

If we are remaking Canada and fighting the America before us today, then we should be spending MORE.

We should be investing in all kinds of things, from sciences to small businesses, and cuts are not the way forward on that front.

TAX THE BILLIONAIRES before cutting services.

THEN let's talk.

Three rows a day - you've got this! It looks super hard, but there seems to be a bunch of lacy knit on the needles already. As for me, I'm a straight-knit dish cloth kind of knitter ๐Ÿ˜†

Those guys? The ones putting roundup on their big-ass lawn after using their ride-on mower to craft perfect stripes?

So is getting publicly outed with your affair now considered aโ€ฆcold play?

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill,
37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare.
27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance.
578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

Indeed๐Ÿ‘‡. Shameful but not surprising, given that PP had no problem meeting - and endorsing - all sorts of extremists himself, including the Convoy.

You don't buy weapons from your enemy. We are in the middle of an economic war with America.

I followed you all the way through to the end of the thread. I agree with you on slog. Now where's the thread on traipsing that I was looking for? ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Can you make paid subscriptions optional and flexible? Letโ€™s say I have a newsletter that Iโ€™d like to keep 100% free for whomever wants it but offer flexible subscription to those who want to pay for it. Like a โ€œset your priceโ€ for this newsletter model....

You can choose optional subscriptions, so those who can't afford to pay remain free.

Just followed you for the 80% cat content. I've got a bratty russian blue (Totoro) and recently adopted a very sweet and shy void.

President TACO got suckered by Netanyahu into bombing Iran.
Now he's hiding in the White House issuing retractions via social media. The world is on fire. Canada has to stop enabling the arsonist from Mar-a-Lago.

You write well, are a relentless (notice I didn't say "tireless") advocate, and deserve more than just "exposure" for your work. Have you given thought to a subscription model for your writing on a platform like Ghost (which is like Substack but without the far-right support)?
