Don’t know about *more*
Scenic, but but the spot where line 2 in Toronto goes over the Don Valley river is quite nice.

The smallest, sweetest, velvetiest little black cat asleep on my crossed legs, which are folded under me, under a stripey blanket.

I guess this is just how it ends for me. I lose all the circulation in my feet and expire here on this couch.

I will take any single days or hours of spring the season has to offer me. I can be patient while it practices, until it can spring full time.

A group of people gathered in front of a building with tall columns. A large sign reads "Equal rights, liberty, democracy takes work!" There are also some papier mache rats.

Another day. Another rally. Our premier says he doesn't listen to 'yelling & screaming.' But he & his ministers haven't even had the courtesy to acknowledge my email let alone respond to it, they've limited access to Province House, & can't answer media questions. What else are we supposed to do?

To say nothing of all the conditions where getting diagnosed requires taking a drug, and if the drug works, well you must have the condition! Was it "off-label" until it worked?

I don't have to go check to know this is true.

Maybe your body craves screaming into the trees. (This sounds silly but I'm serious... it's one of the key ways to release stress, and not interchangeable with other ways.)

Like, so many ailments have no on-label treatments because they've never been studied, because the people who predominantly are afflicted by them have no political sway. That's exactly what's going on with trans healthcare.

Just about every medicine is prescribed off-label. Hell, I take gabapentin for my anxiety, and that also helps your dogs hip joints somehow. When I had an allergic reaction to a medication and developed hiccups they gave me THORAZINE to treat it.

Medicine lives off-label. It's wild.

For migraine I was *required* to try two off-label medications and one semi-label one before I could qualify for migraine medication on insurance-- an antidepressant, a beta blocker, and a triptan. Two of those three physically harmed me but I still had to try them anyway.

I was just cleaning out my inbox and I found one that asked for money for this purpose: "If you’re willing to donate today, we’ll make sure the whole team stays a little more caffeinated for the rest of the campaign."
