If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

This Alberta document citing American (really?!) policy to no longer routinely immunize for COVID 19 is outrageous. If I’m reading it correctly they’re implying they won’t be offering routine Influenza immunizations this fall as well?!

I don’t make the rules, but adults, especially men, who come unaccompanied to a playground and sit there and watch a mother who is alone with their children should know that they look like creeps.

Fluoride is ALL NATURAL. Especially in water! How do you think we thought to add fluoride to water that doesn’t already have it? Cause people drinking ALL-NATURAL fluoridated water had BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES. We can’t all live in a fluoride BLUE ZONE but everyone deserves those HOLISTIC benefits.

Relieved to hear that all the advocacy from my sector ensured that Carney re-introduced a Minister for Women and Equality. Reminder that holding politicians accountable is literally our job as voters. Calling out Carney did not mean we wanted the CPCs to win. It was for this exact outcome.

One of my last big Twitter arguments was a nursing thread where I told people that benedryl is no longer recommended, and second generation antihistamines are just as fast acting in a hospital setting and they told me I must be stupid and not a bedside nurse.

India is bombing Pakistan. UAE is bombing Sudan...and that's just the beginning. The whole world has watched Israel get away with pissing on the Geneva Convention for 18 months straight, only a fool would assume this won't inspire other genocidal nations.
