I honestly try to avoid politics, but FFS.
This Member Of Provincial Parliament (MPP) is actively encouraging people to TIE UP 911 LINES. In the name of 'democracy'.
Sorry not sorry, but it isn't democracy to try (even if you failed) to overthrow a democratically elected gov.
All you fuckers in the US, UK, and here, particularly in the #infosec circles I follow, RTing far right talking points and calling Canada a tyranny from afar - I see you, this is what you are supporting.
THREAD:
We’ll be tweeting what we see today at #GraceLife church in Spruce Grove, AB. A number of known hatemongers are expected to show up today to protest the closure of pastor James Coates’ church.

Anyways. I've been banned from TikTok until the 19th for "cyberbullying" the UCP.
Which feels more like an unlocked achievement than a punishment tbh, I've been at this for a year now.

@denkiii@raredisorders @maladorphelines At least in most cases I can do so. Things have also been easier since I finally got a GP who isn't a "oh well did you learn that from google?" dickhead. The past 2 years have been a lot easier in terms of advocating for myself.
@denkiii@raredisorders @maladorphelines I've got my "I have a fever & this is why it's concerning" speech pretty well rehearsed & I take the extra step on making making sure I go to the ER attached to where my cardiologist works as an outpatient doc; I also recognize that I'm fortunate to be able to do so.
@denkiii I don't show fevers for small infections as well, so there have been times where a doctor will refuse to actually check my ear for an infection because "if it's infected, then you'd have a fever". Like, NO. NO I WILL NOT HAVE A FEVER MY EAR IS KILLING ME FUCK.
@denkiii@raredisorders @maladorphelines I don't fit into the rare disorder corner, but I can attest to how much energy it takes when you have to advocate for yourself. I've previously talked about my stuff, but don't think I've mentioned that a fever means an immediate ER trip & it's a tossup on if the doc believes me.
