This is Brodie. He's always dreamed of visiting a children's hospital to cheer up the small humans. Finally got his wish. 14/10
Congrats to me y’all, I’ve just found out I am apparently raising my neighbours baby with them (through the walls) 🙃 🙃👶🏽🍼
I walked 32,100 steps today and got the Minions: Bob badge with Fitbit! fitbit.com/user/9Q58NW #Fitstats … Half Marathon was 30,680 steps apparently… no wonder my feet are killing me

I ran from a mass shooting today with my two little girls in my arms. We got separated from my wife. We hid behind a car and then sheltered in the apartment of some good Samaritans for 5 hours watching swat teams from the windows. We are all ok but we’re angry, very very angry. – at Highland Park, IL

#WorldRefugeeDay is an important moment for me. Anyone can become a refugee at any moment. They deserve our support. #WithRefugees
"Anyone can become a refugee."
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador @AlphonsoDavies gets it. Alphonso was resettled in Canada as a child — and in 2021, Canada resettled more refugees than anywhere in the world 🙌 #WorldRefugeeDay

OUR STATEMENT:
The Foreign Press Association, Africa registers its displeasure against media outlets using images of black people alongside stories of the #monkeypox outbreak in North America and the United Kingdom.
Although 66 million lives have been saved since 2000, the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed those gains. For the first time in over a decade, #tuberculosis deaths have increased #StopTheDeadlyDivide #WorldTBDay

📣THINGS WE CAN’T IGNORE IN 2022📣
CHILD ABUSE: COVID & hunger are forcing girls into early marriage and boys into begging.
Around the world, 160 million children are working.
This is not the childhood they deserve.
The time to act is NOW!

In the future, when we look back at this time, we'll wonder why we allowed rich countries to hoard vaccines & allowed poorer countries to suffer, which only further entrenched inequity worldwide & led to the creation of more dangerous variants for all of us to have to deal with.
Genuinely wondering why I excessively sneeze whenever drinking caffeine? 🤔 #AskingForAFriend but hmu if you have an answer 😂
Join me in sending an urgent message to the Government of Canada to be part of the solution and address the global malnutrition crisis — by making a bold new pledge at the #NutritionForGrowth Summit from December 7 to 8, this year. @UNICEFCanada

Thank you @CanadaDev for your support for increased TB funding from the @GlobalFund. Today's GF board decision reflects a slight increase for TB, yet is dependent on an ambitious replenishment next year. I am counting on Canada's continued leadership to #EndTB. #Canada4Results
