Respiratory Therapist, married and partnered LGBTQ 🏳🌈, two-time (and trying for 3!) cancer-survivor, a very proud Canadian 🍁. Black Lives Matter! He/him
Today’s affirmation is
“I have cancer, again, sure it’s my 3rd primary, and unrelated cancer, but I will survive this shitty situation too!” Is this how this works?
I was informed of the biopsy results a few hours ago. Now the next parts.. sigh
@SeditiousMe I think certain issues, puberty blockers for example, are presented as completely settled. And that's a problem. Both sides have this habit of self righteousness when certain debates are far from settled, and they use their certainty to eviscerate the other side.
After much thought and a bunch of discussions with smart people, I think I’ve settled on my position on teachers telling parents if their child discloses details of gender or orientation or asks to be called by a specific pronoun:
I think the child should decide who is told.
The Indigenous people known as the Huichol first appeared in the highlands of Central Mexico some 15,000 years ago. According to their ancient traditions, both men and women would experience the pain of childbirth. Here's how it was done: the father would position himself on the rafters with a rope tied around his scrotum, while the mother would pull on it while giving birth.
I’m a groomer.
I’m grooming my kids and family to be good and accepting human beings. Individuals that can feel comfortable talking to me, friends, family, teachers, co-workers, anyone they need to when they feel sad, or have questions.
There is no one size fits all key to parenting, and raising a child takes a community. My community includes those people I trust. My trust in regards to my children encompasses more than just Crystal and I.
Michelangelo's Statue of David, created between 1501 and 1504, is known for its remarkable details, particularly in the right hand.
This iconic statue was carved from a single 6-ton slab of marble that had been discarded by two other sculptors due to flaws. The marble lay exposed to the elements for 26 years before a 26-year-old Michelangelo was awarded the contract.
Michelangelo began his work on September 13th, 1501, and dedicated two years of his life to carving out this masterpiece.
The Statue of David stands at an impressive 17 feet (5.18 meters) tall, featuring an enlarged head and right hand. These proportions were adjusted to ensure visibility from below, as the statue was originally intended to be placed on the cathedral's roof.
Morning Joe had a segment about “woke” and how that will be the main focus of the Republican debate.
It’s worth it to post the origins of being woke once again for those in the back.
“Stay woke. Keep your eyes open.” - Lead Belly
The Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, were sentenced to death. NAACP forced repeated retrials. They were finally freed but never recovered.
The first documented use of the phrase “stay woke” happened in the 1930s when Lead Belly ended his song about the Scottsboro Boys by advising Black folk traveling through Alabama to “stay woke.”
The term “woke" was created by Black people referring to being alert to systemic racial injustices.

@ArmstrongTaran That was devastating to watch. Kaysar was not the great player we all hoped he’d be. But I always wonder, do they have a bathroom break allowed?? I can’t imagine 14 hours!!
All I wanted to do is focus on my pets and cute animal pics today on Twitter, then Scott Moe decided to take personal rights away from teenagers.
So here I am, livid and ready to rage.
Forest is burning faster than it is being replaced, further accelerating the #ClimateCrisis which causes even more burning.

@GogsGagnon @ThanksCancer Trying to help you reach 10K followers! Laying here in pain, having to have a bone biopsy on Wednesday. This will be my 4th cancer, last month my 3rd cancer showed signs of metastasis. I know this situation doesn’t look promising for me. My family & husband will be hurt the most.
These odd-looking bugs were spotted in Texas. They are likely Homaemus proteus and show a curious and interesting colelctive behavior
