As someone with anxiety & depression, that last line really rings for me. Stories have saved my life When I was locked up for 5 years by my paranoid mom, books were my salvation. WoT, Outlander, Anita Blake, Kelly Armstrong, Rachel Caine, Wen Spencer, and Dresden Files They taught me perseverance

FTA: "So many children are getting Long COVID because so many children are getting COVID. Over and over again.... COVID causes Long COVID, and children are not “immune” to COVID, they are not becoming healthier with each infection, and the adults around them are doing nothing to mitigate the virus."

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Mothers understand self-denial. We know we cannot give in to despair, bc we owe our children a more just world. I cannot allow my anxieties to take precedence over doing right by my children. Hope in these times is a discipline. For all our kids and their future, my courage will be unflappable.
