Sad news from Christine Amanpour. She has a strong message to women about the importance of advocating for their health.

790 days / jours / días. #FreeMichaelKovrig
Today is 787 days since our colleague Michael Kovrig was arbitrarily jailed by China.
His sole offence was to be a Canadian in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Every day his grit and character in the face of injustice inspire us.

Absolutely worth reading this article.
This is a long read, but a worthwhile read. Bookmark it for the next encounter with a confident white person who assures you that Canada doesn't have a racism problem. ottawalife.com/article/an-an…

#OTD 55 years ago, a Canadian diplomat and two Canadian servicemen were killed in the line of duty while flying from Laos to Vietnam. Their remains were never found. ⬇️A THREAD #CanadaRemembers 🇨🇦
This thread speaks to me.
I don’t miss the person I was before cancer. She’s gone and that’s ok. I like the person I am now. But I do miss my pre cancer body and mind. It was great to live pretty much pain free and with a sharp mind. #mbc

Our colleague Michael has been arbitrarily detained by China for 558 days.
Each passing day is a stain on China’s reputation, an injustice to Michael and an act of cruelty to his family and loved ones.

Love the smooth feeling of my freshly shaved head. Something good from chemo (besides the whole fighting cancer thing). #chemofridays #cancersucks

I've been doing some work with @bbc about what it's like to be going through chemo in the middle of Covid. Thanks so much to Claire for giving me a chance to use my voice for good, also my chickens are in it 😁😁😁❤️ bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-5264153…

Short walk in the woods to see these beauties this morning. Crocuses are a wonderful sign of spring!

Eight weeks now that I’m home alone without company except for all of you. Here’s a famous piece of #Bach to thank you all for being there. His C major Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Plain simple beauty. The source of life.
