I can't. He's too busy clamouring to get onto my chair to cuddle my face. I'm a singer and my voice is healing. Cats tend to come running for a cuddle when I sing over zoom at my events lol. But 1st photo is often what he looks like while I sit on the edge of my bed with him and sing to him.

As a giant storm slowly moves over us, let me show you what came first... 😍 Incredible sunset before the storm in London Ontario Canada. 9pm EDT tonight, June 27th, 2025. Descriptions in the alt text. Just taken with my iPhone, no fancy settings and completely unedited. #ShareYourWeather #OnStorm

All those of you who lost your father, who never knew your biological father, and anyone who whose grandchildren are without a father, I see you. I feel you. That’s what this is for me. If Father’s Day is triggering for you, you are not alone.

Tips for Northern Lights:
1. Use your phone/camera. Naked eye may not see it.
2. For 1-3 hours before, the north sky might have a subtle arc of haze (like this photo but could be faded blue/white).
3. This was 7:39pm Oct 10/24. A faded display began at 7:49pm BUT the BIG DISPLAY was 10pm-3:30am!

TONIGHT on Turtle Island (most of Canada, some of the states) you might be able to see the #NorthernLights tonight. I saw them a bit last night here in London Ontario. The KP index is super high at 7. These photos are from May 10/24 and Oct 10/24 off my balcony. www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/...

This is me in all of my neurodivergence… helping humanity and the planet while helping myself heal. I use the HeartMath Inner Balance app, HeartMath Global Coherence app and the Visible app. I’ll show you how in this thread and the alt text of the images. /1 #LongCovid

CO2 should be <600. <800 is ok. >1000 is too high. The more CO2, the more of other people’s air you’re inhaling. The more CO2, the easier SARS-Co-V2 can infect you. I shouldn’t have to choose between what will kill me fast and what will kill me slowly. That’s apt. living.

My N95s and Aranet4 CO2 and humidity monitor keep me aware and safer on medical outings (i’m otherwise housebound). HEPAs and CR boxes keep me safer in my own apartment where nobody cares about clean air or Covid.

What in the winter is this?! So spring maybe in June then? 🥶 #ldnont #shareyourweather #blizzard

Oh, I have some choice words for Ruby. However, since responding will tell them my phone number is valid and this might not even be legit, they get no response from me except blockity block. 🤮🤮🤮 #Canada #NeverPoilievre #CarneyforPM #WomenAgainstPoilievre #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

I love the Visible app for helping me track my long Covid pacing and symptoms. Today is the second time I’ve had a 5/5 score since April last year when I started using the app. Taking the win! #chronicillness

About me: I’m a trauma-informed COVID-conscious Indigenous speaker, facilitator and mentor with Long COVID. I don’t just speak or coach women. I use my JUNO-winning voice, music and mindfulness practices to help midlife women to ease their way through life's big moments in this uneasy world.

I love the Visible app for this. As long as I use it regularly, I get a monthly funcap check-in. It also gives me a beautiful monthly PDF with charts showing trends customized around what I’m tracking. #LongCovid #MECFS

I often have to choose between terrible outdoor air coming in my windows or the pot smoke and CO2 from the apartment neighbours filling up my lungs. My Aranet4 shows how bad it’s been in this cold snap w/o enough fresh air due to temps. The dips to great CO2 are balcony doors & bdrm window open.

3 things that make me who I am:

1. I walk my talk. I help women to find their voice because I had to find mine.

2. My first 2 languages are Spirit and Song. Everything I do starts there.

3. #COVIDconscious Gen X underdog to the bitter end.

What are 3 things that make you who you are?

Yep. All it gives me is the monthly option or the same as I have now. No other options.
February 15, 2025 at 3:01 AM
How'd you get to the basic plan, Johanne? I'm only seeing an option to upgrade and actually that's where all the AI stuff is. Oh wow yep. That is my ONLY option is to pay even more!! I can either change it to monthly for more $$ or upgrade and get the AI bloat I don't want. Details in alt text.

This steep incline the US tech bros are headed up. Unfknreal. This, from Microsoft today.

Basically, a big suckup to me, their "valued" subscriber (to Word, Excel etc.), and then a whopping 31% price increase for us Canadians.

Word alternatives, anyone? I'll go back to Libre if nothing better.
