Should things end on this platform, which kinda seems inevitable, you can find me in other places, too.

For the first time ever, I saw the Leafs play live and in person! Thank you so much to @TorontoStar
for the surprise subscriber gift of watching the game from the Star box. Still buzzing from the magic of it. #hockey

@TorontoHydro There's a blackout in my downtown neighbourhood but it's not listed on your outage map. Are you aware of it? I'll DM the location

🧠 Words matter — especially when it comes to #migraine disease.

Using accurate, person-first language helps validate lived experiences and reduce stigma.

Let’s move away from outdated or misleading terms and shift toward language that reflects the reality of this complex neurological disease.

Save this for future reference! 💙

@RogersHelps In the past week or so, my TV access is not working consistently. Messages that voice commands are not working, everything is laggy/black screen, can't access streaming (rotating circle stalled on screen). Have so far missed last night's game + tonight's. Help?

In this very funny talk, Stella Young breaks down society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn." It changed how I see myself and my disability. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Your rheumatologist is vital to your treatment journey, but they can’t do everything. I write about who else you’ll need in my new @HealthCentral column. Who do you rely on?

The unpredictability of a chronic condition can make you feel out of control. In my new @HealthCentral column, I share my story of living with #RheumatoidArthritis and #anxiety.

The data paints a bleak picture of the current state of the #healthcare system for women. To understand how it got here, it’s vital to understand the foundation that has shaped and perpetuated the sex bias.

Although we appear to have moved on from the days of duct-taping disabled women to mammogram machines, people who live with #disability are still largely a forgotten population for #BreastCancer screening. #HealthCare

To track (your #RheumatoidArthritis symptoms) or not to track? I don't and in my new column for @healthcentral I share why and how I stay on top of things without it.
