I've been reading history @torontolibrary on my lunch breaks and it makes me want to go back to school. But PhD?

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

@TransLink Thank you!!

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

@TransLink is the 22 Downtown back to going down prior or is it going down Hastings still?

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

@TransLink Is this also affecting the 22? It just missed the Pender and Abbott stop, turning left on Abbott

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

.@TransLink the 22 just turned left down Abbott instead of continuing on Pender to the stop at Abbott. No notice of a reroute. What's going on?

@NikeService is it possible to get support with my Nike Run Club app? I think somehow someone else has managed to use my account. Weird things are happening, e.g. with the awards ( t thinks today is my birthday - it's not). I can't seem to edit this myself?

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

@jasmine_leblanc I kept them all in a physical folder (or tagged them in Gmail as was the case) and didn't itemize them into a spreadsheet until almost last minute and it was ok.

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

Given my very infrequent use of this platform over the past few years, and the + benefit to my MH as a result, I think I won't migrate and instead just use one less social media. In case you were wondering, which you probably weren't.

@DAVIDsTEA @raincoast0 .@DAVIDsTEA can you clarify Mr. Segal's relationship with the company (eg. ownership stake, etc). Very disappointed about the news of the KKKonvoy donation and hearing he still is part owner.

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

@jasmine_leblanc Yes. I left a pair in my desk drawer.

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

I miss my friends back home. Most of them have given up social media, which I get. I'd love to go for a socially distanced walk.

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

Does this mean I can visit my family back home that I haven't seen in 14+ months? Surely the emotional supported and well-being I'd gain is essential if their spring break is. What a big FU.

@joannachiu Congratulations Joanna!!!

you aren’t just doom scrolling, you’re probably also serotonin scrolling.

our friends have lived in our phone for a while, but now it’s almost exclusively where they are (if they are safe) and you miss them and reaching for them isn’t something to shame yourself for.

@ms_andreajoy Best use of this quote

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

As a doctor, what are the other things that need to be weighed?

@erin_hanson I think suburb matters, e.g. lower Lonsdale vs farther out

So we're just fully going for a third wave...

TFW you recall advice you gave to a friend and realize you should take it yourself @joeychopra

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

"From his perspective, the only reason to have a capitalist market economy in the first place was to allocate scarce goods in a circumstance where everyone couldn't simply have as much as they want. If rent serves no economic purpose, then why should it exist?" (Frase, 74)

[Vanessa LeBlanc @vnleblanc]

"Being the technocratic liberal that he was , Keynes believed that if paying interest to property owners couldn't be justified by scarcity, then it should and would disappear."
