@steeletalk@Northern_Health has had commenting turned off for all Chetwynd ER diversion notifications on Facebook for a couple years. That is, when a notification goes out. 40+ this year, of course people are mad.
@itsJeffTiedrich It's probably because we're conditioned to patience and compromise and waiting on the promise that "things will get better." But you're right. Matches seem easier.
@MaybeThatTommy Is it not slightly more bizarre that they cannot take organs or blood from a dead human, not even to save another life, but they can force a woman or child to donate their ENTIRE body to sustaining another person?
It's hard to imagine what women in the US are going through. It's bad enough that another pregnancy could kill me, and any discussion of the removal of my ovaries is still preceded with "but you may want more kids"
At least I still have access to an abortion if necessary.
@jannarden There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

@brettbel You have my sympathy. We had our daughter in 2020 and our town is currently <70% vaccinated. It's so bad here that my husband and I work opposite days so one of us us always with the kids. Good luck!
I hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend, except that one nurse who told me I wasn't making enough noise to be in labour, never mind that I would be holding my child 3 minutes later.
Me: Hey buddy, what do you want for lunch?
4 y/o: CHEESE NOODLES! (Mac & cheese)
*makes cheese noodles*
Me: Alright kiddo, time for lunch!
4 y/o: *looks at bowl* Actually, I need a rest.
