Can we PLEASE stop hiding our age and saying things like “39 and holding...” It perpetuates a myth around the benefit and desirability of youth.
Looking back, I was an ignorant asshole when I was young.
I wear my age like a badge of honour. Foe making it this far ...

I have a team meeting tomorrow - I am supposed to bring my goals (1 personal & 1 professional)
I have no goals because my goal is to be present. Here. Today. Now.
It isn’t a goal either. It’s a one day at a time practice.
I guess we will see how that goes over 🤷🏻♀️
@ashleighweeden I am a “mom” I’m the sense that I grew humans in my body. This is not the only way to be a mom AND lots of folx are helping me raise my children. How well? TBD.
This EXCELLENT 🧵 highlights how every role we take on has “expectations” and it’s bullshit. And I’m running Oct 2022
The same people worried about #IENs not meeting "Canadian" standards don't complain when non-ICU nurses are deployed to care for ICU patients, or when new grad nurses are thrown into unsafe patient assignments where the experience is lacking. Underneath your worry is racism!
Full Brag - I had trouble waking up my 10yo this morning - as I cajoled her she said “I don’t wanna get out of bed - I’m cold 🥶!”
I started to explain the furnace was on, it’s plenty warm & she said:
“Don’t tell me how I feel. I know how I feel” 🎤 drop

@justincox I am currently staring at a scrap of paper where I have written respond v react … and I know there is an article that will be born of it… and apparently a Twitter comment too!
The law still applies & good test is to ask yourself “Am I responding or reacting right now?”
@DepressionMuse I have always disliked the “fake it til you make it” adage. I saw this today from a colleague… I am not religious myself but it really resonated because I do have faith. So. For what it is worth … 💜
@ShawnAdamsson Well done you!! I am also newly sober (231 days today) and I cannot believe how much it has changed me@and helped me and been hard AF. 💜
@Joyhenderson78 to be fair these are also uncomfortable for adults.
Pants I mean.
I will happily wear my N95 - and the privilege that comes with it - but would love to further discuss the whole pants thing.
At least make them optional or “best practice”
Are people seriously making the argument against N95s for kids because they're "uncomfortable"?
Do you know what else is uncomfortable for kids?
Pants.
This is true …but eerily familiar…?
Oh right!!
Hitler lost an election first then spent some time rallying his supporters with propaganda and defining a common enemy and …well. I think we all remember what happened next right?
Last year, for the first time in our history, a president who just lost an election tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.
But they failed.
And on this day of remembrance we must make sure that such an attack never happens again.
Tries to help fiona today. Math. *might* have screamed “this doesn’t even make sense? Is this a riddle?!?!” Shouted “daddy!” left the room muttering swears.
She’s in grade 5
I work at a bank
In case you were wondering how this is going …
