Elle Cordova is one of my faves. Can’t wait to see her host SNL one of these days.

I’d love to see a chapter or sequel on “embracing risk to build resilience for kids with disabilities!”

I keep having to look up US thanksgiving dates bc I every time I see a black Friday TikTok, I think, it can be black Friday yet…

Green laminated sign with boldface text: “upon your arrival to the clinic” please USE HAND SANITIZER (three icons of hand washing) Thank You.

One of life’s big mysteries, the use of quotation marks on instructions.
We get that your boss gave you the copy, Lance, but why quote the first line instructions in the sign. (If you did, why not quote ALL of the instructions?!!) #grammar #punctuation #handwashing #hospital

U.S. disability rights activist and author Alice Wong dies at 51 | CBC News Alice Wong, a disability rights activist and author whose independence and writing inspired others, has died. She was 51.

What a huge loss. I envision a just and equitable world where Alice, Stella and Arley are thinking and writing great things together. www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

The more US healthcare workers I talk to the more I feel that we 🇨🇦 must urgently ensure we are not relying on governance norms (not laws) as guardrails. Even mostly normal politicians in Canada can't be trusted with the power of the Notwithstanding Clause, and then there's Danielle Smith.

I propose a new version of murphy’s law that me and my #disabled friends can really relate to, let’s call it Gimpy’s law: as soon as you’ve seen the specialist, you waited months to see you will develop a new troubling symptom that you should tell them about the very next day.

We (🇨🇦) aren’t perfect but it’s been the joy of my life to share with American healthcare workers me and @todmaffin.com are recruiting through our #nanaimohealthcareinfusion about basic rights like mat leave, employment standards, socialized medicine and real workers compensation.

Thanks. Really sad and frustrating story. Way to put the academic renown ahead of the actual outcomes of the work. It could have been a huge innovation. Now that I’ve thought about it more it feels more personal. It’s a violation of public trust.

Dear 🇨🇦dairy industry: what do you have against egg nog lovers? Have we hurt you somehow? Why do you give us eggnog three days before Thanksgiving and then take it away again until Christmas?

New west is a small small town! :) (even though it’s the same population size as Nanaimo)

And you and Ellie! Miss you, did you celebrate?

Thanks @bcgeu.bsky.social for all you do in the public service and also to one of you who helped scoop me back up and into my wheelchair when I bit it right in front of your picket line at Canada Place today. I barely even had a chance to see who it was. ❤️ #solidarity #kindness

This guy knows where it’s at

I wish I’ve given you my grinch sweater to wear, they would’ve given you an additional card apparently

I didn’t know you had a familiar! Cutie! 🥰

@carnivalcruise.bsky.social so far your accessible stateroom on #carnivalencounter has been great but do you see any issues with putting life jackets on the highest shelf in the wheelchair accessible stateroom? 🤔🧐

@aircanada.bsky.social’s AC35 crew on June 30 were absolute pros. Really appreciated their assistance and proficiency with the onboard aisle wheelchair.

Attention CIA, if you ever want to torture a migraineur to do what you want, trap them in a public bathroom with a 4 year old playing with the air hand dryer. 😥

Do they know TikTok’s algorithm grabs everyone’s ankle? Thats why it’s so successful.

I just took this survey about primary care in Canada. If you live in Canada, I hope you will too! www.ourcare.ca

The union at the Canadian Press wire service says that some of its members "can no longer afford to live in the communities where they work and report."

Word.

Rude!
