Great. After years of collecting medical conditions like they're PokĂŠmon, my Poke Ball is now full. Adding insult to injury, I must now strap on a face hose every night to remind me that even my basic ability to breathe is something I need medical assistance to accomplish. Sigh.

“A person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him.” ~ Mark Carney, Canadian Prime Minister Designate and former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. #ElbowsUp #Never51

So, the new US administration, which has championed the idea of "draining the swamp," is inserting people who seek to assert federal (and their personal) influence in all areas of other people's personal lives. Was the swamp filled with empathetic and benevolent leaders?? #politics #confused

Isn't it fascinating how #LGBTQ+ people and allies passionately criticize Zuckerberg's anti-LGBTQ+ policies on his platforms, racking up visits, clicks, and ad impressions—exactly what he wants? Nothing says "resistance" quite like fueling the machine you're trying to dismantle. #meta #LGBTQ

Talking about wildfire relief might spark a conversation, but donating to a cause like the LA Fire Relief Fund is what actually helps extinguish the flames or support families the "talkers" purport to support or represent. #LAFire #LAFireRelief #Politics

Tech firms donating to Trump instead of LA forest fire relief is like upgrading your Wi-Fi while your house is burning down – wrong priorities, wrong timing, and everyone's left wondering who approved this decision. Why is Swift doing more than the giant Tech Bros combined? #LAFire #Politics

#PremierLeague refereeing is a bit like ordering fast food at 3 a.m.— you never know what you’ll get, but you’re pretty sure it’s not going to sit well. These guys give Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" a run for its money. #football #PGMOL #footy

My Baby graduates, gets her dream job in Vancouver, and suddenly I'm left wondering if FaceTime counts as quality parenting—or if I should just send her embarrassing dad jokes via text to keep the bond strong? #parenting #graduate

The new #MeaningOfLife: Somewhere between your last TikTok scroll and your next Instagram like—that fleeting moment of clarity buried under a pile of memes and influencer reels. Sigh. #mentalhealth #socialmedia #realitycheck

From what I can tell, it's not that Greenlanders don’t like America's overly processed frozen snacks, cereals, and burgers, they just don't want the U.S. to annex their entire freezer aisle for a military base. 🤷‍♂️. #world #Greenland

Only thing faster than @federicochiesa.bsky.social's feet is his ability to adapt. He'll be taking the Premier League by storm, one "pasta" to the goal at a time! He'll get his "pizza" the action now. I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses. #LFC #YNWA #LIVACC

Ah, the War of 1812—a time when the U.S. thought taking over Canada would be a walk in the park, only to find out the park was full of maple syrup-fueled militia and stubborn British redcoats. Tip: never underestimate a country where even the geese are aggressive. #Canada #Politics #Humor #USA

Canadian MP, Elizabeth May eviscerates incoming President Trump on his ongoing push to take over Canada. The best example of what being Canadian is right here: Intelligent, witty, empathetic, caring, FREE. #Canada #Politics #Community www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQu5...

~20 years ago, social media educated & entertained me, grew my network and made me a better person. Today, it has made me cynical, angry, and distrustful. My world has shrunk significantly and has become more insular - the exact opposite of social media's initial promise.

So, 30 days avoiding all American news outlets and media, choosing to microdose news from BBC or select national Canadian outlets. WHAT A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE on my #mentalhealth and personal well being. Q #news #politics

Technology, social media, pandemics, global warming...all taking their toll on the collective global psyche. As in history, we tend to react by circling the wagons and blaming everyone else for problems we caused or stood by while doing nothing. Look inward. Do something.

Being a real man is not bullying those perceived weaker, more feminine, or different. It's not being threatened by those things; it's demonstrating compassion, intelligence, & supporting your entire family and community. Anything less is just a fragile ego, not masculinity. #dads #fatherhood #lgbtq

Crazy idea: What if we spent one hour a day thinking of others instead of ourselves? Just one hour a day. See where that gets us. #Gratitude #MentalHealth #Civility

Trying something new for my mental health: Microdosing the news. Max 45 mins of news consumption each day, immediately followed by a shot of whisky to dull the pain. #mentalhealth #coping
