Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

I started clonidine at night a week ago and reduced my lorazepam, developed a funny dry cough that gets worse when I take a deep breath. Not happening all the time. Wondering if it's from lorazepam withdrawal as I've been on it a long time. Clonidine is a low dose because my bp tanks.

Omg.
I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived.

This should enrage and radicalize everyone.

Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two.

No more thoughts and prayers.

It’s time to address the guns.

These wild swings in temperature - -27 to +3 in 3 days and back down again right away - are really disgusting and I want them to stop. All my chronic illnesses need them to stop

Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

I'm reading Jodi Byrd's Indigenomicon and you need to put it on your reading list. Top of the pile. She interrogates the settler colonialism of video games, analyzes Indigenous gaming, and troubles (grinds against) a lot of our own pet theories that have become ubiquitous.

Traumatized people often have gotten stuck in a headspace in childhood where it was incredibly unsafe to be honest about how you feel. Growing up in a hyper individualistic society means that they are prized for not being vulnerable and never learn how to express their feelings to others

Insurance's (Blue Cross) refusal to cover 100% of couple's counseling under one account is discriminatory and patently unfair. If someone is at the session, they should be able to claim it, full stop. Don't get me started on their policy of only covering psychs and MSWs.

So far (on ep. 6), Apple's "Down Cemetery Road" is very good. Emma Thompson over Ruth Wilson and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett over Fahinti Balogun, but really, there are no sleepers in this series.

Watched "After The Hunt" (Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri) and wow was it awful. I had higher hopes especially with Ayo in it, but this is a case where I should have read the reviews first

So, I'm taking clonidine and it's calmed my POTS right down, but it also is causing low bp - albeit without significant side effects. I like having less fight/flight response so far. I like sleeping better but I'm getting low bp at pretty low doses that don't ensure I actually stay asleep

I just saw that Ireland made its basic income for artists permanent and I have never been so jealous.

What must it be like to live in a country that actually values the arts?

I'm happy for all Irish artists and hope maybe this kind of thing will expand elsewhere.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

2 nights of good sleep and then last night was up at 2:30 and unable to get back to sleep. I'm feeling all the feelings of disappointment and panic, exacerbated by a lack of sleep

Last night, in debate on a bill the UCP say is meant to protect free, even offensive, speech…

…the UCP tried to censor my speech because they found it…offensive.

But it’s true. Bill 13 will make life worse for African, Caribbean & Black professionals in Alberta.

Nobody tells you how important *sleep* is to writing a book.
