@JanisIrwin Have you heard of the birding board game, Wingspan? So fun and beautifully illustrated! There’s an app version too.

@TMXO___ Thankfully I’m good at telling when my child is in pain versus when they’re upset other times. Tylenol, like other drugs, has a time and a place. I do not have time for companies preying on desperate parents by peddling snake oil. And I didn’t say I use it constantly.

[BiblioCanadian @knit_brarian]

Really glad I saw this post before buying it for my kid. We’ll keep trying the Tylenol and breast milk popsicles and chilled wet cloths.

[BiblioCanadian @knit_brarian]

@TMXO___ So teething pain doesn’t count as a reason to use Tylenol? Thanks so much for weighing in on medical decisions my paediatrician and I make for my child. Good to know the judgemental parents of Twitter are still out there in this dumpster fire of a site.

Here are some posts from Danielle Smith's Local page (from earlier this year) which offer some perspective on her comments regarding the unvaxxed as well as how to move forward in dealing with COVID in Alberta.

Out there, somewhere, right now, there’s a guy with a “F🍁ck Trudeau” flag on his truck cashing his carbon rebate cheque.

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

Populists like Danielle Smith succeed when they are able to do three things:
1) convince a dominant group they are being marginalized
2) convince that group they are in "the silent majority"
3) convince the public that the group is both a victim and too dominant to challenge.+

[Dr. Mild Yet Still Mysterious @sammy4723]

A reminder:
* COVID is airborne.
* Herd immunity did not happen.
* Omicron was not mild.
* Kids do get sick.
* Transmission does occur in schools.
* Each variant is not milder.
* No wave has been an exit wave.
Minimizers have been wrong about every
single one of those things..🦠

[Alberta You See Pee 🍉✊😷🟠 @youseepeeYYC]

“I’m sorry that you were offended by my overtly racist comments,” says leader of the overtly racist party, “I will try to be less overt about my racist beliefs in the future. Please don’t discriminate against the overt racists that helped me get elected. Discrimination bad.”

[BiblioCanadian @knit_brarian]

I’ll tell you right no, we’re not going to attract young people to this province with a premier who whines that her friends couldn’t go to Boston Pizza, while ignoring several recent discriminatory events against indigenous peoples, gays and Jews.

[CTV Edmonton @ctvedmonton]

When Zeel Shah’s partner left Toronto for a job in Edmonton in 2018, the young couple had to decide which city offered the future they wanted for themselves. https://t.co/HKHNkwjnhJ

[Fred Stenson @fstenson]

Before Alberta is written off as a paradise for alt-right loons, let's remind ourselves that less than 2% of Albertans "elected" Danielle Smith. To become premier, she had to win a kind of UCP box social.

[Barbara Larochelle 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 @BarbLarochelle]

Note to other Canadians:

Only 42,000 Albertans wanted this result.
There are 4.4 million of us.
Be kind.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

.@beatonna defined the late-aughts aesthetic online. Her memoir is a monumental synthesis of history, politics, and herself. @kvanaren writes https://t.co/wmp51K1g6A

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Just when you thought Danielle Smith couldn’t be worse for healthcare, she’s now suggesting patients needing long-term care could be placed in hotels 🤯

This isn’t a joke. This is someone who could be premier musing about putting the health of your loved ones at risk.
