Mass drug deaths were declared a public health emergency in 2016. That gave Dr. Henry the power to issue public health orders for safe supply - just like for COVID. No need to wait for every politician to see us as human. No need to wait for all of us to be dead
@COVID_19_Canada XBB.1.5 is very infectious, but it's our utter irresponsibility as a society, and wish for everything to be ok that will be responsible for steep increases in hospitalizations and deaths in this latest wave.
@nursekelsey Oooh I run into my GI every once in a while at work and… it sure is weird caring for the same patients as someone who has literally been inside your butthole. I don’t like it.
@hellotefi A new job fell into my lap and I love it so far, my partner is over his Covid with zero noticeable issues and I never caught it, and my new antidepressant meds finally seem to be kicking in with no side effects ☺️
You know how Mr. Rogers said to “look for the helpers?”
Well I do that regularly when I walk around, watch the news, see photos, etc..
What am I looking for? Masks.
People who are masked are the “helpers” and I love to see it.
I thought I was buying time until the science caught up, until better vaccines were developed, until clean air mandates were in place. Instead, I’ve restricted my family’s life for 3 yrs & there’s no end in sight. We are all miserable but we don’t want covid. How do we continue?
I originally retweeted this last May, but given my current bf I feel like it’s worth revisiting WHOOPS I clearly have a type (he is considerably more interesting than a 2X4 tho)
Ok it’s a few years late but my love recently offered to go to couples therapy with me to help set the groundwork for a lasting and fulfilling relationship, and I didn’t even have to ask, so like, I SET GOALS AND I FUCKING ATTAIN THEM I am unstoppable
@jeffreyansloos @duolingo This isn’t an app so I don’t know how helpful this is, but I have taken some online classes through Queer ASL (based out of Vancouver) that were absolutely incredible and I’ve been recommending them to anyone and everyone I can!

@TraumaSoapBoxes I forget what the exact diagnosis was, but it was some sort of internal bleed that the site manager promised us was stable… pt arrives to the hallway, GCS 15, A+OX4, within ten minutes projectile vomits blood everywhere and loses consciousness. Fun.
He survived tho!
Welcome to BC, where putting sick patients into storage closets is a better alternative than wearing a 4x4" piece of fabric on your face to protect your community
