1/ I want to draw everyone's attn to this story:
Ryley, now a 19 yr old non-verbal autistic man, was playing in park in Oct. 2022. He was as violently arrested after a neighbour called police saying he was either mentally handicapped or on drugs.
Let me tell you a story about masks: I do maintenance on wigs for a theatre. Last wk, one of our staff came in to work w a mild scratchy throat. They had tested themself for covid as a few days prior they had gone to a concert & a person they went w now had it. Test was neg.
While this person caught it by being in a much larger space for less time w someone who had it, not one of us in our cramped, poorly ventilated, close proximity, full day of work caught it.
What could have been absolutely devastating to the theatre ended up being a non-issue.
The rest of us were now on covid watch. The whole theatre was, really. We tested ourselves for the next 5 days, even though none of us had symptoms. Not one of us caught it. Not one.
@aaronhoyland
Maybe you could try putting them in a sport they enjoy so it doesn't feel like excercise to them? I suggest full contact football or hockey.
They still masked all day. We work in a small space, 4 - 5 ppl in that space w others coming in & out all day. ( It was tech wk so wig fittings, consults, etc ). Next day, they woke up quite sick & tested again. Test came back pos. Called in & didn't come to work.

My partner & I often sleep in different rooms. He snore. We like different temperatures. Sleep different times, etc. Its a necessity. I'm working on overcoming this ingrained idea thay we must share a bed each night to be a " real " couple.
Men: As a cis woman, I don't need your protection from trans women. Trans women are no threat to me in any aspect of life. What is a threat is cis men, especially white men. If you want to protect women, that is where your attention should be. Leave trans women alone.

Leaving a bad relationship is not depriving a child of their father. He can still very much be in the kid's life. What he did is incredible disrespectful & outright mean. She has every right to consider leaving him if he is not willing to soften on this.
🎶Just sit right back & you'll hear a tale, a tale of why women can't afford to just be nice to men. 🎶🧵
Earlier this wk, a new client came in for a hair cut. He mentioned that he was new to Canada, so we began talking about how he's dealing w/ the cold & snow.

This reminds me of the story of a lesbian cpl in a store holding hands when a old lady came up, clearly didn't speak English well, motioned to both of them & said " Men is too headache, "
@talker1
Yes!! And everyone seems to respect the policy as well. Technically, this person didn't have to mask as they were not positive that day, but chose to anyway b/c it was the right thing to do!
@NotoriousPBG
They do this often. I've seen videos with them yelling "Don't move!" While simultaneously yelling " Get on the ground! " & wanting hands behind head. They also give no time for someone to hear, process, & comply.
@Peds_McGee
I guarantee a health care worker is the one who reported her husband for the abuse after learning about it by talking to a child in private.
And that's where I am right now: sitting in my salon waiting for him to leave so I can go home.
This is why women need to assume every man is a threat. We simply don't know & this kind of thing happens often enough.

as my MLA is that when ppl say " Contact your MLA & tell them to do X " it's nearly pointless for me to do so. Why? B/c Janis is ALWAYS on the right side of things.

I'm surprised more ppl aren't talking about the changes to traffic court. Ppl will now need to PAY for the right to challenge your ticket in court. That's right, you will now need to PAY for your right to defend yourself. This is pay to play & it punishes poor ppl.

He wants to get her a sitter so she can go out? Why can't HE spend time alone w the kids? Sounds like she HAS to be supermom b/c he won't lift a hand to be an equal parent.
The word INTIFADA literally means tremor, shivering or shuddering & is derived from the word NAFADA which means to shake off or get rid of. It is colloquially used to refer to a uprising or rebellion, as in "shaking off your oppressors" It is NOT a call to violence against Jews.
I let my guard down & ended up sexually assaulted & being stalked. I was "nice" & this is what happens.
Women don't like being vigilante all the time. I found myself constantly checking out the window today while I should be focusing solely on my clients.

This. Often reporting abuse results in a child being removed from the home if the mother can't leave & find suitable accommodations right away. It's not something any parent wants.
Most of us grew up being told we should see this as a compliment. Feel sorry for him. He just has a crush, etc & many of us just assume this is normal & ok. Its not normal nor is it ok.
EVER!
Closed..... again.
- W/ no added $$ support for an industry thatcannot pivot to curb side service.
- while malls remain open.
Its not the closure in most angry about, its the fact that this isn't good enough.

I'm nearly 40. This isn't the 1st time this has happened to me b/c I was nice to a man & I'm not the only woman this happens to, far from it.

Its not. The onky reason you think that is b/c you can't believe ppl who aren't white could possible be the better qualified candidate.
~10 wks ago I started a running program. 60 sec runs were hard. Today, I completed my 1st 30 min run, running nearly 4km. I'm fucking proud of myself. Not only for running but for sticking to something for this long.

Lagrange being Health Minister is an incredible scary scenario. I don't think enough of us realize that. She is staunchly anti-abortion. Doesn't think sexual health should be taught. Things like Plan B will most likely to restricted. Gender affirming surgeries & health care will

She probably has one. Ppl don't always look at the vehicle for one. They just look at the person & if they don't look like their idea of disabled, they get shitty.

This tracks w the foster care system as well. If we have bio families the same income & wrap around supports foster families get, we would see a HUGE reduction in kids in care.

I was a jr councelor at a church camp when I was 14. One of the guy counsellors was extremely flirty w/ me ( he was around 20/21 ). I didn't think anything of it b/c he was well liked. Then he began touching me: on the shoulder, around the waist..

I went to the ER with a client of mine ( I'm an abortion doula ) who had a miscarriage prior to the abortion. She was heavily bleeding. I am convinced they wouldn't have seen her had I not been there. We sat a few hours in the waiting room as she continued to bleed heavily.
William Makis is not & never was an ER doctor. He does not have a current license to practice & was convicted in legal cases involving intimidation of witnesses, among other things. He has no experience in Pediatrics or immunology. Him being present means you will get no truth.
@laurchastain22
Things like sitting w/ his legs touching mine at the camp fire, standing so close behind me he was touching me in tuck line up, etc. I mentioned it to my cabin's senior councelor. I was told not to make a big deal of it. He was the director's son. I never went back.
@laurchastain22
Sat next to him while he drove a few of us to location one day. He put his hand on my upper thigh while saying something funny & didn't remove it. I sat the last 30 mins of that trip feeling very uncomfortable. From there, he was almost glued to me

Those numbers are all over 22k. When you get casualties this high, the numbers are nearly impossible to get exact. We don't accurately know how many died in WW2, for ex. Whatever the number is, it is way too high & that's what you should care about.

I'm didappointed, Arlene. We are still losing 40+ ppl a wk from covid here in Alberta. We are starting to see the massive issues long Covid is creating. The mandates aren't what is causing chaos at airports.

I really don't know. Honestly. The checks & balances built into the system only work when the people in power are willing to enforce them. It's clear that is not the case here.
A very vocal & harsh critic of the Edmonton Police being charged w/ vandalism of a Nazi collaborator statue, over a year after the incident happened, an incident he reported on, is very sus. EPS seldom investigates vandalism, let alone lay charges.

!!! City Council has a survey about masking up. This is being shared pretty widely in anti-mask/anti-vax groups w/ the intent of getting rid of masking. If you would like to see ongoing masking for the next while, please fill it out.

Wait. They don't even live together & she's making him lunches & prepping his meals? Nah! He's too young for her. All he wants is another mother. She needs to dump him.
