1) Ok, Imma put on my "comms" hat for half a minute here because the way this water crisis in Calgary is being communicated is really bad and I am going to try to help.

You know what makes COVID isolation a whole lot less sucky? Bagel-making lessons with @dinnerwithjulie! We love these classes so much 😊

[Kristy Cross @swiftk]

Say what you want about the game but this felt amazing in a world where not much else does

@latoya12 @russfee Oh perfect! These are what I have, and I combine them with wool socks (thick for super cold, thin otherwise). They have great grips and a bump at the heel to hold on a snowshoe binding. https://t.co/VX3FxNmNoM

@latoya12 @russfee Hi I’m the friend! 👋🏻 First question is what do you want them for? I went searching for the warmest possible winter hiking/snowshoeing boots and found great ones. They aren’t cute though…definitely more for sport than casual daily wear. LMK if you want more info!

@dwaynekelly @dinnerwithjulie I had no hesitation going out in -24 on a Thursday night. It’s cream puff day tomorrow and I have a very excited six year old!

When you have a kid that’s obsessed with @dinnerwithjulie’s cooking classes…

@LDrogosPhD I literally went to Michaels a couple years ago and bought all the coloured shirts in multiple sizes - we are prepared for all the colour-themed days and have extra in white for emergencies. Crazy hair day always throws me though - that one’s tough when you have a boy.

[Kristy Cross @swiftk]

@LDrogosPhD Ours was on orange shirt day…

Feels risky to commit to a challenge right now but maybe having a goal will be motivating? I’m in.

[Erin McGuire Olson @e_mcguire_]

The challenge I’m doing this month is called October and it’s where I just try to get through every day of October

Do you ever feel stuck in your job? Or your marriage? Perhaps… both?

Do you really hate the "spring forward" time change? Read this thread to learn why, and to learn why DST in the winter will be even worse

Hitler is still a part of history, Jason. We just don’t tend to name swimming pools after him.

@LDrogosPhD I didn’t know it but this was exactly what I needed today 😂

Quick tip from a contact tracer: since it’s taking longer to get a Covid test this week, a pen and paper can be a great tool to help fight the pandemic if you start to feel sick. Here’s what to write down: 1/ #Covid19AB
