I'm a writer, an advocate, an ally, a social justice ninja and super passionate mom. All in one person! It's exhausting and SO. MUCH. FUN. *Opinions are my own*

THIS is why people who struggle with their weight have a hard time trusting physicians. This whole thread is riddled with judgement. "Just eat right and exercise". 🙄 Yeah, cause we didn't try that FIRST!?

But WHAT could it BE!? 😱🙈🙉🙊 We've known virtually since the beginning that COVID causes vascular changes and coagulopathy. It leads to cardiovascular DAMAGE. Why are we now acting surprised that young, "healthy" people are having heart attacks when we just let COVID rip?

Love this response to the British PM's apparent choice to assassinate his own political career this morning. Or is that me being too "glass half full" that saying something so incredibly transphobic will cost him an election?

Hi Doug Ford Sylvia Jones Andrea Khanjin. Please take the time to read this article in its entirety. Then, please immediately reverse the cancellation of the wastewater surveillance program in Ontario. After that, provide more funding to expand the program further. Thanks!

Yet I can't get a formal diagnosis fir my 3yo because, "we don't know enough about long COVID in kids" and, "we wouldn't do anything differently anyways — we just treat the symptoms." So they tell me to assume he has it, but then tell me not to medicate him for joint pain. 😒🤬😭

I don't often see politicians putting out a freakin' roadmap on how to do the job to an incoming minister, but @ToddSmithPC got one from Chandra Pasma's office in this thread. #FixTheSchools #IndoorAirQualityMatters

WHY is our government refusing to listen to the experts — people who have literally been helping us manage public health and disease preparedness for their entire careers!? Oh. Right. Because that's not politically expedient. More booze at convenience stores! That's the answer.🤦‍♀️

If you're a medical professional who believes this is okay... Quit. Today. Do us ALL a favour and get out of the profession.

If there's anything that breaks me, it's this. I was pregnant in 2020. People would *CROSS THE STREET* because they didn't want to risk getting me sick. Now? The social contract of protecting the vulnerable that I have been taught MY WHOLE LIFE has been abandoned by the masses.

This thread is a dissection of what is essential the Trump administration's manifesto and it is CHILLING. This is Gilead in the making.

I'm not sure I ever thought I'd see the day where and article like this was written in Times magazine. ssnews.page.link/Js4BGd4ZtHvb29…

My response to this would be, "Great! Show me the #IndoorAirQuality data for the school & classroom & let me know what improvements you're making to keep kids safe from #AirborneIllnesses so they can achieve attendance above 90% — since you've said it ⬇️ success rates..."

I have a 3yo on his way to kindergarten in a few weeks. I know for a fact the Waterloo Region DSB provided HEPA filter in his classroom goes unused due to noise. I want to mask him but they've said they *will not help him* with it. I worry he'll be hard to understand in a Flo Mask. Help!

Anyone who reads this and doesn't think this was a hit job has a much more sunny outlook on the state of humanity than I do... ssnews.page.link/PUbUwED5N8vUDA…

Many parents got duped into thinking COVID is no problem for kids. Many outlets shared faulty info & it stuck. Nobody “wants” to know about the damage being done to children, but that is not justification for not doing right by kids. rutgers.edu/news/researche…
