90% of Business Analysis is digging into a nebulous intractable problem until a set of facts emerges that, when written down, both makes the work tractable and looks like such obvious common sense that no one thinks you did anything.

@NaomisLitPix Oh my God the toothbrush thing!!

Excuse me while I squint at my brain for ten minutes. And probably forget what I was doing before.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

For anyone thinking Meili stepping down is the right thing, and hoping the next leader will somehow be different and draw more voters, a reminder that the tarnish you see isn't Meili, it's Sask Party tactics and they'll do it to the next leader. And the next.

I was nauseous about the hubris of this tweet when I saw it two days ago.

Now I'm angry that Moe has baselessly peddled this narrative until people all over the political spectrum think it's a fact.

[Scott Moe @PremierScottMoe]

There was also a message for Ryan Meili and the NDP in the Athabasca byelection, as they lost one of their traditional strongholds.

I hope Mr. Meili will reflect on the hateful, divisive language he has been using in recent weeks.

This thread is sad and inevitable. Feeling helpless as someone that wants to stay and make this place better than what it has become 💔

@apihtawikosisan KT Tunstall's cover of fairy tale of new york. Because, finally a version without the f-slur! (and it's *good*.)

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@mayordith That was my "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler" inspired childhood fantasy.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@iChris Oh wow. Lots of positive thoughts to your kiddo, and to you and the rest of your family.

I can just imagine how surreal it must feel. I think that's exactly where I'd be too. I hope it passes quickly and unremarkably. ❤️

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@AloxxFox @jk_rowling Sure looks silly, all these people trying to call JKR's tweet brave, when this tweet is the real bravery.

Recovering from SA is so hard, and harder when you don't fit the narrative. I admire both your work to heal and your feminism. 💜

New and dangerous variants of SARS-CoV-2 are the direct and inevitable result of rich countries hording vaccines for their citizens and leaving the rest of the world behind. This is NOT acceptable and must change ASAP.

The only way out of this pandemic, is TOGETHER. (end)

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@mbiletski They worked tirelessly to save him from a vaccine preventable disease and, now with permanent lung and organ damage and a lifetime of dependency on the medical system he just gave the finger to, he still won't admit it was that disease, lest he lose face.

I'm floored.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@saskatcheyawn You are the epitome of grace in those comments.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

No idea what's happening downstairs in my house, but OH:

"uh dad I think I accidentally accessed the matrix."

"hold on, let me finish getti- oh my God what have you done?"

"uh... Accessed the matrix?"

"yup... well. If you see an agent, you do what the rest of us do. You run."

@GLuvsDawgs @savvy5114 @LaXtopher @rgay Here as a Canadian to agree with the Americans stating that Canadian exceptionalism is gross.

Canadian "shock" about the state of America is just passive aggressive nationalism.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

Sometimes I'm still bitterly disappointed that Black Swan could have been 'fight club for ballerinas' but instead chose to be 'mentally ill girls can't be powerful and should probably die'.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@mayordith This is so great.

I just need it in a hatchback.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@mayordith Wedding jumpsuit! Wedding! Jumpsuit!

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@grrrlmeetsworld That costume is AWESOME!

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@ihmurria Especially when you know it'll be 5 years before society normalizes, which his regressive policies won't help, & we'll have lingering health problems for a generation, & he'll use his health care collapse as an excuse to bring in private services & further gut health care.

[Megan McCheesen @McCheesen]

@iChris I'm so sorry Chris. Hugs to you and your family.
