I'm thrilled! I rec'd my copy of #MarketingForFreelanceWriters* by @RobynRoste. I've read just 2 chapters and can tell you it's packed with info for both vintage + wannabe #FreelanceWriters that meets one of the 1st rules of writing--keep 'em reading.

Our new #MiniaturePoodle puppy is 10 weeks old today. This video is from last week.

She'll likely grow to 12-14 inches at the shoulder (withers) and 10-14 pounds.

Since 2008, science has helped me #StayAlive. I have also used alternative remedies in concert with science, with guidance from my #OncologyTeams. They happen to have info from outside #YouTubeUniversity, #MyNeighbourSaidItWorkedForHisSisterInLaw + #Celebrity realms.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. https://t.co/P7CcCnFTk1

[Kathleen Rake @KathleenRake]

Okay, @globeandmail and @CBC, time to overachieve. I just cancelled my @nytimes and @wapo subscriptions until after the next U.S. election, if, indeed, there is one.

Customers can't/won't always pay you what you propose. That's okay, sort of, because there's always a path for everyone to take and end up a #Winner. Here are 2 #WordUse ideas to help: https://t.co/OasYZ5vQTA

Ima go with the Canadian Cancer Society instead of Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson.

Call me crazy.

[Canadian Cancer Society @cancersociety]

During Joe Rogan’s podcast on January 9, Mel Gibson promoted drugs that are not scientifically proven cancer treatments. Misinformation on cancer treatment is dangerous, cruel, irresponsible and gives false hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.

Researchers around the world dedicate their lives to uncovering the best cancer treatments. Surgery, radiation and approved cancer drugs like chemotherapy are safe and proven to stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. Choosing to use an alternative therapy can have serious health effects, such as the cancer spreading or getting worse.

The Canadian Cancer Society provides credible, independent, trusted information on cancer treatments, in easy-to-understand language. You can find this at https://t.co/Zjt3zM76xz or and we are also available on chat or by calling 1-888-939-3333.

Interesting take.

[Stephen Butler @StevieToronto]

@acoyne In the movie Argo, Ben Affleck said every idea is a bad idea, they had to pick the best one.

Proroguing Parliament and choosing a new leader ahead of the next election is the best bad idea in this case.

So glad to read this teen's health is improving.
