Very smokey at #Ubc this morning. Does anyone know where it's coming from? #vancouver #purpleair

@Cami5320 @95hannahlouise I would second this! Look for a "Fear Free" certified vet. It makes a world of difference! Mine offers half-price appointments if a follow-up is required within 30 days, because some dogs need to do one treatment at a time. They go slow and gentle with my pup and I'm so grateful

@FitTestMyPlanet @Kdturt @SunService44 Are these scores affected by face shape? I'm a healthcare worker and I'm fit-tested annually. Gaining/losing a few pounds has meant I failed with masks that passed for me the year before. So is the Aura really a better mask, or just better fit for the person doing this test?

@danada0109 @MuppyBean @MaeNena73 @mac_b5 @sasshole @DwayneFuhlhage Awww Sebastian looks and sounds just like my River (Iruska Cool Chic). She passed away in 2020, but she loved singing the song of her people just like that. Thanks for sharing ❤️

@wordsmithjobebo @BlairBraverman Sounds fun! Please include me too

@NightShiftMD 8/
So yeah, you fine people, you absolute legends who hold the line in the medical fields? A salute to you all. You've got it immensely tougher than I ever did in my 15 years in the CAF.

@DFisman @rdumont99 Yes please!

@ms_marymary @QuinceMountain My name is Darien. Before work allowed us to include gender pronouns in email signatures, I dreaded in-person meetings with folks I'd emailed first. "Oh, I imagined you as male" was everyone's first words on meeting me. I'm cis and that little (she/her) has changed my world.

@HeatherBackman @vmodes When head/taillights are broken, drivers make hand signals by putting their left arm out the window. Thus, drivers signal a right turn by bending their left arm up. This signal can be mistaken for a cyclist waving at someone, so some use "Alternate Right" for clarity.

I have followed André for years and have respected his writing. I honestly could not sleep last night for worry about how many people will read this and think it's a good idea to remove loved ones from their care homes during a global pandemic. A thread.

@MaeNena73 @BlairBraverman Occupational Therapist in a long term care home here. We're freeing up acute care hospital space by adding an additional 50 beds at our site. Very proud of my co-workers. Leadership, dedication, & teamwork shown as we all sweat in PPE and adapt to daily changes in our practice.

@TeamPetit1 Please ask them to set it up on Go Fund Me. @DonorsChoose only allows US residents to donate, which makes us international donators very sad😢

[Darien Merrick @dbamerrick]

@OkOkayWhatsNext @wdwcrzy @calen26 @DonorsChoose Yep, turns out you have to be a US resident. My guess is that they don't want to deal with issuing tax receipts to international residents. Oh well. I just gave a bit more money to the Go Fund Me campaigns instead. Thanks for your help 🙂

[Darien Merrick @dbamerrick]

@wdwcrzy @OkOkayWhatsNext @calen26 I can't figure out how to donate to the donors choose one. When I enter my credit card info, it only gives me numerical options to enter into the ZIP code field, but I have a postal code with numbers and letters. Anyone else run into this problem?

@TEGboo @AK_Chick @Farasalt @BlairBraverman @AlpineCreekLdg Which do you think is better, the GPS insider or the Video insider? I don't want to spend the full $33, but I am having a difficult time deciding which of the other two packages is most worthwhile.

@WhistlerBlckcmb Is this video supposed to have sound? Looks awesome, but I can't get sound to play.
