All of those letters and numbers you see are impairment classifications.

There are ten different impairments that make athletes eligible to compete at the Paralympics — eight physical, one intellectual and one visual.

Here they are explained: https://t.co/lIQW9aDT0L

That improves their record to 1-1 at the Paralympics. Next game is against Spain to close out preliminary round play.

I need a TL cleanse so how about I share my secret aesthetic - animals using curb cuts.

No image descriptions because they are literally just what the title says.

I am disturbed & appalled at the suspension of Dr. @yipengGe from @uOttawaPHPM. He is amongst numerous healthcare workers being targeted for speaking against the violence in Palestine. Please sign and share widely. He does not deserve this. -- https://t.co/5qHkEdeYDY

[Dr. Adam Ogieglo 🇨🇦 @AOgieglo]

People still can’t find a family doctor in Saskatoon. Nearly every patient I saw yesterday in my shift in our urgent care clinic didn’t have one.

This is all a distraction.

[The Voice of Saskatchewan @KNotVoiceofSask]

I think the Sask Party has removed the Canadian flag from this media room.
I am Canadian, I deeply resent this behaviour. I don't know how anyone can support this, regardless of who you think your prime minister should be.
If they've removed our national flag, the shame is deep.

Today’s Daily News podcast from @NoLore starts off with news from SK, and it’s not good, with the government pushing through anti-trans legislation. Take a listen.

I’m forever grateful for my friend Heather Kuttai. When I was pregnant with my oldest child, she taught me all about being a mom in a wheelchair, and gave me the best nursing pillow to use. She’s a super mom, and she’s proving it again. H, I hope you feel my support and love.

1/3. We are extremely disturbed and outraged by the treatment of a Black Muslim man by local police officer in Edmonton, Alberta last Friday.

The visibly Muslim man and his family were heading out of the mosque after Friday prayers last week—also the day of Eid al-Fitr.
