This is why I took my work accounts off my personal phone.

ok it’s time

The real reason I love this job

In Canada, top 1% of wealth holders hold 24% of total wealth.
Meanwhile, PM Carney has an ‘austerity budget’, which will impact the disadvantaged.
Patriotic Millionaires Canada, which I am a board member of, estimated that a 3% tax on wealth over $100-million could raise $25-billion annually.

That Canadian tuition *includes healthcare*

And yes, because I'm a librarian and keep receipts: www.registrar.uwo.ca/student_fina...

A reminder that my husband did his MLIS at UMich (current tuition $14,916 in-state and $30,076 out-of-state), while the same degree at my alma mater, a two-hour drive away is $10,534.92 USD

It's a niche area of libraries, but hot off the press: doi.org/10.1071/ah25...

Talk about knowing your audience

In my happy place! #BlueJays

I hope to ask them in front of faculty when they present to them about the benefits of using their product. They always send a different rep to the librarians than they do to the faculty.

Folks, when I was pregnant with my son, I didn't just take Tylenol. I was in enough pain for morphine. I took SSRIs and multiple antibiotics too. We're both still alive and thriving today because of it. RFK and his band of grifters can fuck all the way off to hell.

I have taken
the Tylenol
that was in
the medicine cabinet

and which
they think probably
is the reason
you like trains

forgive me
but that’s bullshit
you got autism
from your dad

RFK has done the impossible. Made the librarians like Elsevier

I had to scramble to find someone to look after my pets, my work had to find someone to cover my scheduled shifts, eventually I drove over with a rented van to move back to Canada. Now imagine this happening on a huge scale.

20 plus years ago, I was denied entry to the US because my TN visa expired the same day and my employer made a small error on the paperwork. Fortunately, I was here to interview for my current job.

Kate, Don and Chuck prepare to eat a meal that appears to consist mostly of flowers, while some bald guy with lots of medals watches.

Apparently my darling husband won't become a citizen because he doesn't want to say that he "will be faithful and bear true allegiance" to one of these people and I think he is picking the wrong one.

Down to one measles case a week in Ontario.

Prince Andrew is literally RIGHT THERE

My grandfather, Dr. J.S. Bell, gives someone in East York a flu shot.

A poster showing the decline in rabies in Ontario from 1958 to 1964. It reads: "Why get rabies from animals? When in doubt, consult your health unit"

A worker at the Peak Freans factory in East York unloads boxes of cookies.

I've been digitizing my grandfather's slides. These are from Dec 1975. Get your flu shot. Don't get rabies. Food safety is important. Still relevant 50 years later. He would be HORRIFIED at RFK.

@markgerretsen.bsky.social Did you stand and support a Nazi? #ygk needs to know

Welp. Time to reset the “Days since Canadian government gave a standing ovation to a Nazi” counter back to zero, I guess.

I fucking hate the Common CV. that is all

Having just been to Halifax, I can also say it is a beautiful place to live.

America must be stopped.
