I tried very hard to get switch from the insulin pump to injections, and it went extremely poorly so here we are starting to raise funds for next year to hopefully keep me going another year!
Tips welcome, money not advice! 😉💕💸

That WOULD be great!
OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Experts are bracing for a difficult #influenza season in #Canada.
The reason: an evolving #H3N2 strain that is spreading globally and could be a mismatch for this year’s flu #vaccine.

“Trump and Poilievre also share a total lack of respect for people who don’t completely agree with them and bend the knee. If you’re not with Poilievre, you’ll be treated as a non-person. He’s the nastiest leader of a major party in this country’s history.”

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Went on @60minutes.bsky.social to talk to Bill Whitaker about H5N1. As Kamran Khan from Bluedot told Bill, we don’t know if or when this virus might acquire pandemic capabilities, but it can.
And if it does, as I told Bill, that will be worse than COVID. Much worse.

Bird flu, feared as a possible pandemic, poses growing risk to people as pathogen spreads, scientists warn
More than 100 federal scientists who track bird flu, including vaccine and food safety experts, have been laid off. This comes as the deadly pathogen rips through dairy herds and poultry flocks.
