After my mom passed in 2012 we did a balloon release every year on the anniversary of her passing UNTIL we were told how bad it was for the planet and for wildlife. Now we plant something in her honor every year instead. And all I’m saying is sometimes it’s important to change traditions when you realize they have a negative impact. (I’m looking at you, fireworks.)

98% of the deaths during BC heat dome occurred *inside.* 91% were disabled. 90% were 60+ 56% lived alone. I realize that doesn't fit with some people's narratives and slogan activism but facts matter.

My mom had to wait THREE MONTH for an EMERGENCY dental procedure. We had to buy her under the table anti-biotics from another country so she wouldn't kill herself from the pain, waiting for an EMERGENCY dental procedure. IN THE USA. SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS COUNTRY IS SHIT.
Canadians will wait in line for 12 hours at an ER, then look you straight in the face and say Canada is better than America

One of my fave things in York Minster: a medieval wren stalking a spider. It reminds me that history isn't only kings and battles. Someone, centuries ago, found joy in the same things we still notice today. It's a reminder of how much we have in common over our differences.

Katie, just stop. No one gets benefits for a diagnosis. That’s literally not how PIP works. Also, an extreme minority with ADHD can claim because of the severity of their symptoms. But those 100k people, will have other disabilities. You conveniently fail to mention that 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️
It is not fear-mongering or disability-shaming to state this is a genuinely pressing societal issue that needs untangling. 👇 Young people need purpose, activity & community. A diagnosis which comes with cash handouts (and discourages work) does the opposite. 😔

The UK State Pension is a welfare benefit of the same kind as contributory JSA and ESA, and is paid from the same pool of NI contributions. To deny that it is such is dishonest.
The UK State Pension is not a welfare benefit. To call it such is dishonest.

I also learned today that in Germany codeine is not considered to be a pain killer 🤔
Today I learned that there is an over the counter cocodamol 500/12.5 tablet. I had only known about 500/8 so far

Cringed reading about Taylor Swift’s wedding. 1000 guests & all but 100 standing to listen to TWENTY minutes of making her vows. Just hers. D listers like Cara Delevingne arriving 3 hours early to STAND & wait with no phone, drinks or grub. AND THEN QUEUE FOR THE BUFFET! Oh my.

respiratory therapist here and you’re right based on one thing: I’ve never seen a 19 year old intubated and on life support because of cigs but i have seen multiple due to vaping
this might be a super low iq take, but i kinda think smoking cigarettes is healthier then vaping. inhaling a drug whenever you want through a little plastic device seems more dystopian then just smoking a paper with a plant in it

👇Punish the sick & disabled while giving WELFARE TAX CUTS to the SUPER WEALTHY! MULTI BILLIONS are lost in tax every year to WELFARE TAX CUTS for the SUPER WEALTHY! All our services, the NHS, Social Care, WELFARE etc would be fully funded if the SUPER RICH PAID THEIR SHARE!🤨
I've looked into the Tories plans to cut benefits for people with "mild" anxiety and depression. They class "mild" as anyone who doesn't get the highest rate of PIP. Even people with severe anxiety and depression don't get the highest rate of PIP. It would lead to alot of deaths.
