What can we learn from the death of the #Queen?
The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.
Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying.

@LisaLaFlamme_ Oh no @LisaLaFlamme_ you have always been the best of field colleagues. And such a hardworking passionate human and we have all benefited from your rigour and dedication. We have had some fantastic shoots eh? I am really really sorry to hear this..
@LisaLaFlamme_ Make no mistake. You are the best. Your response to this thing is class personified. You have my utmost respect and admiration. You will “rise above”.
@omarsachedina Lloyd Robertson got a weeks-long send-off, a documentary, and a tribute website.
Lisa LaFlamme got a 6-week gag order until she could send out a message on her twitter account that she recorded from home.
These are not the same. Please explain this to your employer.
@omarsachedina If you were following in her footsteps, she would be 70+ and retiring on her own accord not being fired without cause. Read the room. 🤦🏼♂️

@silvym98@ontarionurses Never stopped seeing patients in house throughout this pandemic. Patients don’t always call us to see if we can see them and go direct to er. Have fit in spots everyday in clinic.
Keep blaming #primarycare and #familydoctors for the #healthcarecrisis that was predicted 5+ years ago @ontarionurses
And watch as people continue to leave en masse.
Hospitals aren't the canaries, they're the end of the tunnel.

"When people are more outraged about waiting 4 hours in airport security than 3 years for a hip replacement, we've sort of lost the plot on what's important." CMA President Dr. Katharine Smart says challenges facing the health system need to stay top of mind for Canadians.
The China Foreign Defense Ministry just issued a statement saying Ukraine’s territory and sovereignty should be respected and Russia should resolve this situation diplomatically and engage in talks with Ukraine as soon as possible. This is a big deal.
To help, please call your Rep or MP to ask:
1. Cut Russia off from SWIFT
2. Provide air defense equipment to Ukraine
3. Send lethal weapons to Ukraine
4. Boycott Rus goods
5. Stop collaboration w/Russians who did not denounce the war
6. Use any influence you have to #StopPutin
This is madness. My family in Kyiv decided to stay in their home. Several are joining territorial defense forces. Highly-educated, middle class people in their 50s. They have options to leave. And they are CHOOSING to pick up guns to defend the encircled city. #StopPutin
My aunt: It is impossible to imagine that my mother, who lost her parents & became orphaned at 7, fought against Hitler with the Russian people, had to hide in a haystack from Nazi German soldiers, today, at the age of 85, is hiding in the basement in Kyiv from Russian soldiers.
I'm just curious, how do you come to stake out a position in which you are so anti-imperialist that you are more worried that Russia's security concerns "were not taken seriously" than you are about Moscow violently re-occupying its former colony?
