I recall so well the white fingers.
Not sure if a usual thing but for me Raynaud’s much less pronounced post-menopause.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

It's simple. The NDP are the only party that can beat Aaron Gunn and the CPC in our riding. Tell your friends.

I hate Trump with a ferocity I didn’t think I’m capable of.
However, is there a silver lining to the tariffs in that rampant consumerism might be reigned in? Better for the planet if super-cheap crap no longer cheap?

The number of people with chronic conditions is soaring. Are we less healthy than we used to be – or overdiagnosing illness? Are ordinary life experiences, bodily imperfections and normal differences being unnecessarily pathologised? One doctor argues just that

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧡

MAGA congressman Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) struggles to explain what concessions Trump extracted from Canada:

β€œIt’s a commitment from Trudeau that wasn’t there to help with fentanyl...”

β€œHe announced that plan though six weeks ago...”

β€œWell, at least he’s reiterated it and formalized it”

My husband’s been gone for 5+ yrs, we had a little ceramic Christmas tree since 1980. Went to set it up with my grandchildren yesterday & it broke into two pieces. Can’t describe how much it hurt my heart.

Furthermore I resolve to stop having irrational and extreme hate-ons for certain bands or popular entertainers. It is an insufferable trait.
