@swilkinsonbc What’s so “unbelievable”? Maybe someone should educate themselves about the Tamil genocide.

Tits tits tits tits. Boobies. Boobies. Boobies. Boobies. Boobies. HOOTERS. Are people seriously getting their knickers in a twist about this? Of all the things going tits up in the world, this is what you're whingeing about? Pft.

Hey #Manitoba check out this letter to the editor in @WinnipegNews from October 3. Why do some doctors not know the facts surrounding breast density? On this World Teachers’ Day, do society a favour and get it on your agenda to start educating. Stat. Thanks @NuchaBlue

[AV Kitching 🦥 @NuchaBlue]

It is vital for women to know what their breast density is and, if they have Category C or D dense breasts, they MUST be offered a breast ultrasound.
Mammograms alone are NOT enough for women with dense breasts. Full story here: https://t.co/0F9DlFHAI8

[AV Kitching 🦥 @NuchaBlue]

I learned so much after speaking to @jenniedale24 and @DrPaulaGordon. Thank you for explaining the importance of knowing your breast density, of lowering the age of breast cancer screening and seeking ultrasound screening if you have Cat C or D dense breasts.

[densebreastscanada @densebreastscdn]

Grateful to @NuchaBlue and @winnipegnews for shining a needed light on the risks of dense breasts and the need for supplemental screening. Thank you @DrPaulaGordon @jenniedale24 @MrsBorg_fee_ord Heather Brister. #mbpoli @WabKinew @UAsagwara https://t.co/Tcf2tDtWVk

Thank you for taking the time to share with me.

Thank you, @NuchaBlue, for telling the local stories of #densebreasts. Early detection saves lives. Worth a read. Thank you @ShelleyACook for the lead. https://t.co/BxB0xU6hH1

@AirCanada I’ve been trying to get in touch with someone for more than an hour to book a bereavement flight. I’ve been on hold and had to end the call. Is there someone who can help me? I need to go to Malaysia ASAP. Thank you.

[AV Kitching 🦥 @NuchaBlue]

@ShelleyACook I love her. Let’s do a ramen party one day at mine.

[AV Kitching 🦥 @NuchaBlue]

@ShelleyACook Ooooh I’m so glad she’s loving it. ❤️

This story crushed me. So many people failing a child. Systems in place which clearly do not work. Who will be held accounable? It seems to me some lives are worth nothing in this city.
Filled with despair this morning.

The secret of success is realising you simply can’t have a full time job/career, kids, elderly/sick family, friends, a clean beautiful house, a social life, balayage highlights and wrinkle free face, sleep 8 hours and go to the gym. It’s hilarious to think that’s what’s expected

What's Winnipeg's most overrated restaurant? DM me if you don't want to piss anyone off. I've eaten shockingly bad food in some "reputable" restos recently. Some restaurateurs are taking the mickey out of us. #winnipegfoodwoes

The culture of silence and shame around perimenopause is so pervasive it was hard to find women to share their experiences with me. Women are often misdiagnosed by their GPs, their symptoms trivialized, accused of exaggerating. Things must change.
