Well then.

After 5.5 years of city cycling I got hit for the first time tonight. I had 1 kid with me. I'm so mad. I was on a MUP, at an intersection & driver had a stop sign. I made eye contact & he slowed. Then he turned right into us, hitting my back tire. #yegbike 1/

I am currently on my last ever @airbnb trip. Wildfires are not viewed as an extenuating circumstance in BC.
Ok @airbnb, what the fuck. On Wednesday evening, Aug 16, in the middle of an Airbnb reservation at a cabin 30 min outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, my party and I (6 people) were notified of an immediate evacuation order for the area. (1/x)

Anyone else living in #yeg (>10 years) feel like it's grown too crowded? I've never lived outside AB. I've just been feeling crowded out. Might be pandemic side effect? & some places have < hours, so more ppl in fewer hours too. I just really don't like going places anymore. 😒

Friends who haven't come over to Mastodon, I miss you. I know it's different, but that's not a bad thing. I've been avoiding this place, and trying to get up the courage to eventually leave it completely. It would sure help to have a few more friends on the other place.

I just need to download my history, but then I think I'll be deleting this account. I can't support this.

In my entire life I've never seen a Premier so brazenly discuss transforming our healthcare system into what the Americans have. Fundraise for my healthcare? In Canada? Are you literally joking?
Replying to @disorderedyyc
In the stream, she repeated her idea that you need to use your "own money" or raise donations in order to pay for medical care. She doesn't want AHS to "make decisions about whether or not you get medical treatment". So instead, it will depend on your ability to pay for it? /6

Maybe Legal Aid doesn't believe that waiting indefinitely for a lawyer is the same thing as not being able to get one. It's the same thing. And the delays are hugely prejudicial to those waiting. #ableg #abpoli

Even if DS is gone by May, I don't know how much I really want to stay here. So much damage has already been done, with more to come, & AB has become so divided. Plus I feel like #yeg has outgrown me. I'm a small town girl. I'm getting tired of the city.

I've always been a bit torn between big city and small (100,000 - 400,000 would be ideal for me), but the more #yeg sprawls & struggles with growth, the less happy I am. My kids' childhood is very different than mine, in many ways.

The only viable alternative for us right now is East Coast, which would be very different, smaller than ideal, and have its own challenges - including impact from climate change. Not to mention distance from both sets of parents. 😞 There's no winning.

SARS v1.0: After 10 years, they are still experiencing fatigue, muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath and some are developing neuropathy, numbness in the feet and hands. And that was with just ONE infection. #COVID19 globalnews.ca/news/404562/sa…

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

Toddler has been home almost every day this month. He's getting bored and we're getting worn out. I was never meant to be a stay at home parent. I'm glad things aren't worse, but... This is still hard.

Man what a week for my patients in the unit. COVID’s been hobbling them, and influenza’s finishing them off. Peds ICUs are full, and we’re opening overflow beds to help keep them afloat. There’s poisoned drugs on the street and we’re not even counting our dying homeless. #abpoli
