Formally deleting this skeletal bird app. I’ll forever be thankful for all the joy and incredibly wonderful humans this space connected me with… and at the same time, it’s time to move onto the next chapter. Find me where the platform is kinder, friends 💜
Saturday is my 30th birthday. If I could tell my 20-yo self one thing, it would be to invest more in relationships. I spent the first half of my 20s chasing success at the expense of my friendships/partners. Life becomes immeasurably bigger when you have people to share it with.
If you were visiting Jasper from Calgary, it’s now a 12 hour drive to evacuate and get home. If you’re visiting from Edmonton it’s over 14 hours (going through Dawson Creek and Grande Prairie).
I hope everyone evacuating has a safe place to sleep tonight. 🫢
Taiwan has elected its first openly LGBTQ+ legislator.
Kaohsiung City Councilor Huang Jie was elected to represent the southern port city’s sixth constituency with 51% of the vote.

In March 2022 many of us had been warning about it — it was predictable and predicted.
Public Health with the usual (unfounded) bias towards optimism considered it as “the worst case scenario”.
It is achieved now.
Bravo
Wow. Appendix 3 is the worst-case C19 scenario which corresponds exactly to what this fall and winter looks like. Table A3-1 describes the efforts they'd deploy if it happened. None of that is being followed through. Ppl need to be fired.
