Canadians know he's saying "transformative" with the most negative of connotations possible. It's a backhanded compliment, so very Canadian.

Want to help me raise awareness?

We need education and awareness now more than ever. Long Covid is the #1 childhood chronic illness, people need to know the risks. gofund.me/c6fe1e9e

It's more of a citizenship than a mental condition 🇨🇦

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. 

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

It’s time to ask our newly elected federal representatives to advocate loudly for equitable access to the promised full portfolio of C19 injection options, especially Novavax for the thousands of Australians for whom mRNA is contraindicated.

Solidarity to you ✊ That sounds like a lot to navigate and we know the general public aren't as accommodating as would be ideal. Wishing you a smooth flow in your process.

Doctors: we've accepted too many myths about Covid.
My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing.

It totally got worse in Ottawa. So many issues and instead of investing in reliability, the city is cutting funding and removing routes. Autowa lives up to its name.

I, for one, am now thoroughly seduced

Oh no, you used "skeet" so naturally and I understood it. The die is cast.

Listening to investors over workers got us into this dystopian current-day, so how about STFU. Get on your yacht and eat some caviar in silence, sir.

Carlos also weighed in on the way in which different disciplines have moved from Twitter quicker than others.

It’s awesome, it’s free and it’s here. Happy listening.

Words aren't going to be enough. Slogans aren't going to do it. You can either embrace & direct change or let change call the shots. There is no other option.

It's weird restarting here. The enshitification of Twitter really made it necessary to move though.
