Canadian child psychiatrist trying not to screw up her own kids. 50% Chinese, 100% dim sum enthusiast. Loud mouthed advocate. Posts are my own. She/Her/Dr 🌈🧠
When you’re a child psychiatrist, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of knowing the difference between “I’m cooking” and “I’m cooked.”

The ongoing collapse of journalism sure correlates with the ongoing rise of living in a dystopian nightmare.
Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

Sending your kids to two consecutive weeks of art camps is all fun and games until you come home with 10 days’ worth of crafts and art projects 😵‍💫

Me when a friend has a zit:
She’s so beautiful — I didn’t even notice that tiny spot on her gorgeous face until she pointed it out

Me when I have a zit:
I am a hideous creature that must hide in a cave until this breakout clears because no one can see anything else when they look at me

Estimated cost $25-45 million, including the cost of repairing streets that were never meant to have tanks on them.
Army tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, Paladin howitzers, and other military gear arrive in DC for Trump's birthday party, which you're paying for.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Displays of military force are always a sign of a thriving democracy...
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

Thank you, @thelancet.com, for not only publishing this work but placing it front and center for all to see. History will look back on this moment and see that your editorial team is made of people of conscience who refuse to be bullied into silence. I wish that weren’t so rare.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that Donald is underwater with Gen Z across the board, but those are “somehow political lesbianism has returned” levels of gender polarization with the young people.
