Mom. Writer. Long Covid. Perpetually short of spoons. Eco-geek. Transgender rights are human rights. I will not debate with the uninformed.

A lovely friend and amazing community advocate convinced me to let her create a GoFundMe so I can pay my kids' dental bills and buy myself a rollator to get around and just...you know, not starve to death.

@BlizzardCS @aetheraerie Myself and my friend have not been able to log in to Cata Classic since Jan 21. We get stuck at “retrieving realm list” and then eventually time out.

H5N1 UPDATE - HUMAN CASE

California is investigating a possible H5N1 bird flu case in a child.

Exposure to the pathogen is unknown.

[Jeremy, Writer & Dad & Collector of Parks @JeremyWingert79]

This is about an epic 20-year saga.
And several human odysseys.
And the resilience of hope.
And the power of music.
It's about life itself.

All of which, I think, are infinite.

Two Iranian women have been sentenced to death by the lslamic regime for advocating for women’s rights.

Bakhshan and Sharifa were found guilty of ‘spreading corruption’ and are now going to be hanged by the Islamic regime.

This is what happens when your home schooling curriculum got its biology textbook from Temu.

@ironyandash This is the same idiot who said Long Covid was psychosocial and not physiological even though all evidence from science has shown viral persistence is the main cause.

@kristinaennis @NL_HealthServ @flyporter Good luck with the trip and surgery!

This has been an incredibly rough month. Bills and having a child with special medical and dietary needs have obliterated my money and my overdraft with 10 days to survive on zero available funds.

@morris_canada The part I find difficult is the Theatre will tell people they can’t park at Sobeys or St. Bon’s but never advises them to be respectful of area residents. Tried getting them to page the owner before the show started and they refused.

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

Holy Heart needs to stop holding events until they have parking figured out. Second night in a row someone’s blocking the driveway at my BF’s house and Heart won’t do a damn thing. It’s not right.

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

@TouchKeepi14986 @winsor_leanne Not blaming the school - meant the theatre, should’ve worded better.
Called city parking enforcement and they only had 3 officers on so no one could come.

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

And people need to stop being such entitled, selfish, asshats. Yeah, like thanks dude, love hobbling up the street with my cane and groceries in the rain cause I can’t access the driveway and closest parking is a block away.

[Alexis @alexis___me]

As a fit & healthy 36yo I worked 17hr days for weeks at a time leading responses to Covid outbreaks as a senior Dr.

Now severely disabled by long covid at 40, according to my Government I’m “written off”. With 1.3million+ of us why do we not have dedicated research funding&care?

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

@sm88102725 @DrSarteschi I've done census work. If a person refuses you are supposed to tell them that participation is mandatory but you can't bleeding force them. I'm sure before they started recording she had already gone through her spiel. She'll mark them as refused and they'll get a letter.

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

@DrSarteschi They went from complaining about the gvmt and that's a common refrain (deservedly often) so she absolutely has heard that part before. But you could see her switch from sympathy to be polite but get the eff away as soon as they started talking decrees.

@kristinaennis Knocking wood, crossing fingers, and hoping for you that it isn't cancelled and is a resounding success.

[Dara Barrett @DaraMBarrett]

Feel like I’m just being an asshole now but I desperately need new winter tires and with all the kids’ appointments and my own I need my car.
Being poor really sucks. Last time I was able to work my way out of it with multiple jobs. Now I can’t.

@Andrea_EE2 I would love to repay his kindness somehow!
