Folks this isn’t sanitary. My spouse had a major surgery a week ago and second liver drain put in an hour ago. This door is the bathroom door.
@horizonhealthnb.bsky.social do better.

This is true!

That said, be prepared for the fact that libraries will not have DVDs for the streaming exclusives. That’s on the streaming companies’ greed, not the libraries.

I say this not to convince you to keep streaming, but to prepare people not to go β€œwhaddya mean you don’t have x show?”

Hoping this is a fair deal for my DFA colleagues! You have done incredible work this last month (not the work you wanted to be doing). #KeepDalStrong

Also can’t wait to email people again (but I’ll wait a bit)!

Davis Cup Tie in Halifax to be Played in a Closed Venue Format

Davis Cup Tie in Halifax to be Played in a Closed Venue Format

Absolutely cowardly stuff and, frankly, an admission that holding the match is wrong.

Horizon resumes mandatory masking as respiratory illnesses rise in N.B. | CBC News Horizon Health Network has reintroduced mandatory masking in all patient-facing clinical areas in all of its facilities, starting Wednesday, citing a rise in respiratory virus activity.

I’m currently in a @horizonhealthnb.bsky.social clinic in Moncton. No one in here in wearing a mask and there’s none available for folks. The receptionist claimed she couldn’t hear me because of my mask and gave me a look when I said I had long covid.

I just got the go ahead from the doc to start testosterone.
I’m so emotional about this.
Gender affirming care saves lives. It’s healthcare, mental health care, and so much more.
After socially transitioning years ago I’m finally on the road to being who I truly am

I changed my PhD dissertation research topic a while back, but this was my bread and butter for many years.

It’s frustrating to see the NB government dismiss library workers as if they don’t matter for student learning.

We lost a legend today.

I was so lucky and honoured to have met Ozzy when I worked security backstage for a black sabbath concert.
He was such a gentleman, and absolutely hilarious.

RIP Ozzy

When children are force-fed AI, there is no question of consent or agency. We are systematically telling them they do not have enough value to be worth training.

This is coercion. It is abusive.

β€œThe BBC reported that Colley had originally been admitted to hospital with an injured arm after a fall, but quickly contracted Covid, which developed into pneumonia.”

He was 87 but this makes it sound like he was COVID-negative before he was admitted. Healthcare environments should be safe
