  Since the beginning of the ongoing #Covid19 #pandemic, I have personally experienced many shortages or unavailability of #Rx #medications as well as non-presciption yet #essential items for managing #ChronicConditions, #symptoms, etc. And given the various additional present-day complications to the movements of goods across borders and so forth, I was *amazed* (not to mention pleased) that when my little Brownline Canada paper pocketplanner had a reminder to re-order bound within it at this we...

  ETA: was able to reach #ElectionsAlberta and they WILL have mobile polls at all continuing and supportive care facilities after all! ❤️ *** Original toot: One of my elders asked for help reviewing the referendum and finishing it up to send off. Alas, they hadn't realised you had to pro-actively order one for mailing, so all they had was their voting station info package. I feel like I've paid reasonable attention to this nonsense since first announced but somehow I missed unti...

  I discovered a surprising #economic indicator today: The #economy is so bad now that there are no cookies and you have to write your own (mis)fortune. 😳🤔😂 #SidewalkChalk #FortuneCookies

  I just caught #CBC's #WestOfCentre #podcast interviewing #Alberta premier #DanielleSmith. Does … does … does she think there are healthcare service shortages due to operating theatres in schools performing #GenderReassignmentSurgery? She spoke of the latter (wherein children go to school and come back trans) but didn't explain the mechanism by which this supposedly happens at schools. 🙄🙄🙄 https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/407-west-of-centre/episode/16245100-was-this-ref...

  #Edmonton #Alberta is having an especially horrific year for #mosquitoes, which I suppose is one ofthe disadvantages of finally getting more than enough rain to be out of #drought at the moment. But back to the mosoquitoes -- we're in BIG trouble hereabouts, folks! They're expanding their strategies for blood sucking. I discovered one yesterday holed up IN MY FRIDGE to #ambush me! 😳 Thankfully, thermodynamics put a stop to that before she could use me as a snack, but still!!!!1! 😱...

  Welp, I've given it over 24 hrs. ALL of my disabilities and chronic conditions that are easily observable without additional sciencey stuff like #bloodwork or #CT or #MRI or #XRay are still OBVIOUSLY active. I am STILL disabled. I am extremely disappointed that the #UCP's decision to put me on #ADAP as of yesterday (July 1, 2026) instead of remaining on #AISH is clearly so arbitrary. They're supposed to be the #MostGenerous* of all the provinces!!!1! (*Their phrasing, not mine....

  @josephcox@infosec.exchange I've noticed a massive uptick in this on my YouTube feed as well. Lots of them are being called out in the comments, so at least that gives viewers completely unfamiliar with their claims *some* chance of realising it is nonsensical slop, it's not always easily detectable on the surface of the video itself. And I'm not sure how many viewers bother to read comments as an additional tool for vetting content. 😢

  Just a quick check-in to let friends here know I'm okay. … lots to deal with lately and insufficient energy to attend to all in a sufficiently-timely manner. 😐 Doubtless more chaos to come with whatever the heck is *actually* about to happen with #AISH so may be intermittent as to when I can participate much here. 😬🤔 Appreciate our discussions and community happenings etc as always. ❤️ #yeg

  @SRLevine Yeah sometimes I've eaten scrambled eggs and it seems okay, other times not. It is probably the modt convoluted food intolerance/allergy I've got--I still haven't nailed down the key problem, lol! The oat milk is a great idea -- I always just use extra water. Milk has made me ill as long as I remember. If there was no one around, I'd even "forget" to pour it on my cornflakes because it was so nasty. Basically, I genuinely don't 'miss' not havin...

  Last night I figured it is high time to learn more depth about #diabetes, as I've been having a lot of trouble with high numbers lately no matter what I do. I go to a #Canadian #website figuring that will have the most-relevant forms of information for my needs/circumstances. The site is a lot less in-depth than what I expected, and every topic requires further #clicks to dig any deeper. I steel myself to learn more about #WorstCase issues and click on the link about #amputations. The...

  Hello, #Fedi! I posted earlier about not finding very good/detailed info re #diabetes earlier … completely failing to remember that there are likely lots of folks here who could point me to good resources. (Thank you @canadianglen for the suggestion!) I was #dx'd maybe 4 yrs ago but have had problems since I was first put on #corticosteroids as a kid for #Lupus. The most recent time I had to use those I now also had a #CGM and insulin, so when those very old yet familiar sensations of e...

  @Jam123 If only there was some useful application to this! If there is one, I haven't figured it out yet. 😂

  A story, my friends. More particularly, an #ObjectLesson. I'm old enough to have absolutely NO idea what this hand tool is intended to be. 1/x #tools #mystery #object #use

  One natural #skill I appear to have is getting papercuts, even if something is simply made from paper, such as a cardboard box. I will know I have reached extremely rarefied levels of #PaperCut skills when I start having them from touching #MDF furniture. 😳🙄😂
