Shoutout to my partner's doctor for calling me back so quickly this morning & alleviating my worries about his COVID symptoms. We are truly lucky to have great Healthcare providers in Ontario and we MUST protect them at all costs.

Sometimes I just want a landline, a bike ride to Becker's, and a Saturday evening courtesy of Blockbuster. #MillennialNostalgia

Is there like, an outdoor karaoke night in Norwood or have the forest ghosts got themselves a mic? Because a slightly off-key rendition of "Love Shack" is floating hauntingly through the night air.

So... I guess I gotta BBQ a bunch of meat this afternoon...

Also, using my car as a generator to charge my phone feels sacrilegious.

@Aggie81786357 @HydroOne We don't mind removing the tree, but need guidance from Hydro since it's their line.

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

Anyone know how to report a tree on a powerline on our property? I've tried calling the designated line but there is no answer or there's a notice saying call volumes are too high. The app/online doesn't allow downed line reporting. Should we just keep trying? #ONStorm @HydroOne

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

@HydroOne Thank you! When I call & follow the prompts to report damage/downed lines, I get a message saying I can't be transferred due to call volume & I'm redirected back to the website, which then directs me to call... etc. Should I just keep trying?

These "restocking" & "bulk meal prepping" TikToks makin' me feel bad. Like, I need a nap after buying groceries. Are they hobbies? Is one meant to work full time & do these tasks? And how're they doing it all with kids, because I have 2 dogs who take up nearly 90% of my energy.

This whole thread is amazing.

good morning to every english teacher who woke up this morning like “today’s the day I assign a short story that will haunt them till the day they die”

[Pandemic Academic @EmicAcademic]

@bookishseawitch You all were distressed by “The Lottery”, while some of us were forged in the fire of “A Rose for Emily”

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets mask lines on my face. If I take my mask off to have a bite to eat, I look like I just had a nap on the couch.

If we are going to make MAiD more accessible for people, then we have a duty & moral obligation to make housing, harm reduction services, mental health & income supports, more accessible too.

@djvanness @twpiggott Thank you! This is incredibly helpful.

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

@djvanness @twpiggott This bleak reality is why we've tried so hard to stay COVID-free. But still, it found us. Now that infection has occurred, what does one look out for? Should tests be sought? Are lifestyle changes required?

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

@twpiggott Thank you for all you and your excellent @Ptbohealth team do. My stepson has it right now & hearing from experts like yourself is helpful in easing the constant worry.

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

COVID Twitter stresses me out. We have been so cautious, sometimes to the point of eye rolls. It still found us. And the long-term outlook from experts - about the pandemic & about the bio effects of the virus - offers little consolation. 2 years later - tired & still scared...

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

What's the recommendation on rapid testing when you're in a house with a Covid+ person? We're trying desperately to conserve our few RATs. My partner & I, who are currently isolating with no symptoms, decided to test ourselves at the end of his son's quarantine. Good idea? Bad?

Read this story till the end. During WWII some children were making diaries from concentration camps & occupied cities by nazis. History is repeating. This is a diary of Katya, a 16 years old girl from Mariupol, whose mother died in the basement👇😢

[Jessica Melnik @JessMelnik]

This is so infuriating to watch.

[Dr. Doug Eyolfson @DougEyolfson]

Manitoba’s Premier was asked about the tragic death of a young indigenous woman. Instead of answering the question she used up the allotted time by congratulating her son’s private school hockey team. This is cruel and unforgivable. https://t.co/6AtHjuDQXa

@TanyaFusco @AddisonBlu Bahahahaha yep.
