This is a cry from a desperate mother in Gaza
My daughter Alma is hungry, sick, and losing her strength.
Every night she asks for food I cannot provide
Your compassion could bring her a meal, warmth, or a chance at life
Please, if your heart still feels, help us survive
This is a mother’s plea from Gaza
My daughter Alma is fading from hunger, her cries breaking my heart. We have no food, and no way to ease her pain
Your compassion could bring her a meal or medicine she desperately needs. Please, help my girl survive

REVERSE-LC clinical trial update: I had a good 3-4 weeks followed by increasing symptoms and fatigue. I'm certain I'm on 4 mg of baricitinib bc I've needed extra labs. I've now lost 10% kidney function 😬 so dropping to 2 mg.

I know we'll crack this thing, but long covid is really hard

Don't forget to get tested! It's easy to get on Prep and get Doxy free of charge. I go through Mistr, but there are a few different organizations that offer it. Protect yourself and our community!

Stay safe out there!

Grad Plus Loans are being eliminated next year on July 1st, 2026.

You will only be able to apply for private student loans once the federal government grad loans disappear.

Good luck.

As part of the populist “bikelash” in Montreal, outlets like QUB make wild claims about “hundreds of thousands of people leaving the city due to bike lanes”.

That’s crazy. The high rents and low vacancy rates show that there’s no lack of demand to live here.

(A lack of housing supply? Yes!)

in corporate america the people who are well liked advance, not the ones who do good work

which creates a challenge because i would not normally be friends with 99% of the people i work with, and i think they pick up on that lol
