@UCWellCentre how can the #UCalgary, #WellnessServices,"be a place where students, faculty, staff and other members of the campus community feel valued" when I can't even get a bandaid for my broken toe without an appointment?

Asking for a friend.

@UCWellCentre @UCalgary
how can you be a "supportive space that values inclusivity and diversity" or "a place where students, faculty, staff and other members of the campus community feel valued" when I can't even get a bandaid for my broken toe without making an appointment?

[Ian Kinney / e|n @igkinney]

@UCWellCentre Thankfully, the Fitness Centre had bandaids in spades and gave me two without question or concern. #blessed

@UCWellCentre @UCalgary
today, I was denied Basic First Aid at the Wellness Centre in MacEwan Student Centre. I needed a bandaid to apply to a cut on my broken toe, but staff said that they were no longer accepting walk-ins. I didn't need to see a Doctor, I just needed band-aid.

oh, I see...

"Winter Weather Conditions are creating elevated pollution levels".

"Winter Weather" creates pollution, not Oil & Gas!

Guilt relieved.
Now quickly,
don't breathe.

@poetactics (how) does a valentine revenge poetry?
(what) can a poem retribute, retributed, reattribute?
(when) do valentines poem vengeful, vindictive,
and recriminate hearts? (why) a valentine of malice? (where) can valentines pit poison and antipathy when poetry measures redress? (who)?
