The government keeps pretending that the pandemic is over, and a great many people pretend along with them, despite the fact that hundreds of people are still dying or being disabled by long covid each and every week, without fail. It's hard to hold on to any hope at all.
In many ways, this moment of the pandemic feels lonelier than the first two years put together. Virtual options to attend events are largely gone, masks are gone, social distancing is gone. Everyone around me is acting like the pandemic is over, while I'm on year 3 of isolation.
Thinking of everyone south of the border today.
A statement from our chair @macleodscanada on the passing of Lilia Zaharieva; a dear friend, cystic fibrosis advocate and great Canadian. May her memory inspire us all to dedicate ourselves to making the world a better place.
"His [Moe's] failed leadership and behaviour during this pandemic was so shameful." Thank you speaking the truth. cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…
Mask up for someone you love! The COVID-19 Respiratory Roundtable convened by @CTS_SCT has issued a joint statement to encourage ongoing public health precautions in order to protect vulnerable populations: cts-sct.ca/wp-content/upl… @masks4canada
"He [Moe] went on to say Saskatchewan has one of the highest compensation rates for physicians." Doesn't mean much when doctors are willing to walk away from that compensation because their gov't is not listening to them or supporting them. #COVID19SK leaderpost.com/news/politics/…

Mike's flu finally cleared and we'll be back with a new episode on Tuesday! Thanks for bearing with us!
@MaintenancePod is there a new episode this week? Need my fix of @yrfatfriend and @RottenInDenmark
my heart is so fucking full reading this story
Oh my god we are so delighted to have played some small role in this! What a lovely story.
Camp Roundup is a summer camp experience for fat women — where they can connect with and celebrate one another free from stigma. It was held for the first time this year in Newark, Ohio. n.pr/3TOrgRu
So excited to share a first look of Young #QueenCharlotte with you all!
I wrote another book! “‘You Just Need To Lose Weight’ And 19 Other Myths About Fat People” will be out January 10 in paperback, ebook and audiobook, narrated by yours truly. Preorder links are here: aubreygordon.net/myths
We are making the news for all the wrong reasons.
Can’t get that operation you need? Don’t worry, the premier just sent you a $500 cheque #cdnhealth #cdnpoli #healthcare theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
Everyone needs to read this young nurse’s account of her working conditions. We can’t ignore this because we all - at some point - will need health care.
Jacelyn Wingerter became a registered nurse in January and has worked in a Saskatchewan ER ever since. At only 22, she says being on the front lines of a collapsing healthcare system has crushed her stamina and her spirit. This is her story: macleans.ca/society/health…
Just because you believe something doesn’t make it true. A great statement in the world we live in.
Australians' headline game remains unmatched
Gotta say, @MaintenancePod ‘s series on Pete Evans was a work of art. And @akajustmerry ‘s yarn on it is also great. junkee.com/maintenance-ph…
