The problem with “stay home if you’re sick” is it doesn’t work. All the possible work ramifications aside (no sick leave, etc), we have really moved the bar on sick!! I went to school for 11 today for meet the teacher and a family brought a visibly sick and coughing younger
Child and they’re like nah she’s just got a back to school/fall cough. What the fuck is that? I’ve never heard of this. We have normalized sickness and disease to an insane level.
It’s all just “allergies” until someone dies I guess.
The problem with having no precautions in place, besides getting sick, which is also bad btw, is it creates a ripple effect of consequences that you won’t know about.
For example, my oldest kid has been sick for a few days (testing neg but 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️) and now my partner is also /1
I’m going to say this as plainly as I can.
If you’re going around unmasked, the likelihood that you’ve contributed to someone’s death is higher than zero.
Matters. It matters to my dad, it matters to me.
I am as careful as I possibly can be, and yet here we are. This is why “you do you” doesn’t work.
I wish people understood the concept of community care.
Point was around my kid, sick (and it doesn’t really matter if they were symptomatic or asymptomatic) and as a result a senior they’ve never heard of is lonely without his family. I mean it’s small compared to someone becoming disabled or dying from the illness, but it still /3
Also for any one curious, yes I’m running all my air filters and wearing my respirator in the house. Hopefully I can keep it at bay.
You know why? Because wearing a respirator isn’t fucking hard lol.
I just want everyone who sees this to know I’ve seen your messages and thank you. I do not have the energy to reply today, but I saw and appreciate your thoughts. What a caring community 😭
And to those of you also grieving a loss I’ll be thinking of you ❤️
Sick. As a result I haven’t seen my dad in almost a week and I won’t for the foreseeable days at least. It sucks because we are his only visitors and I’m sure he’d like some company, but I just can’t risk passing something on to him in his condition.
So, someone, at some /2
I have my partner’s work Xmas party tonight.
Boss is a UCP donor, there’s some coworkers that believe all the chemtrail 5g etc hooey, and in general many dude bros.
How long will I be there before someone decides I’m awful? 🧐😂
Wearing my pronoun pin for an icebreaker 😁
Wouldn’t it be funny if the real reason we haven’t seen
@jkenney
is because he got covid, took ivermectin, and now can’t get off the shitter?
I mean, come on, that would be hilarious.

Soooooooo, I got a dm saying at Nashville North $50 makes your test disappear and $100 gets you in with no proof of vax or test.
If true this is both completely unsurprising and incredibly maddening.
Best summer ever! Yeehaw!

Today I was handcuffed and put in a paddy wagon for offering students bibles on a public sidewalk in Calgary.
I was released and told if I returned I would be arrested and charged.
I continued handing out bibles.
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.
High five to telus for sending someone unvaxxed AGAIN to my moms LTC to hook up her landline forcing me to rebook again, for the third time. Cool cool cool. I have all the time in the world for this shit.
One of the things I find most disturbing about the parents/caregivers who are pleased about the removal of school mask requirements, is it feels like they’re teaching their kids to be happy about not having to care for others around them. 😢
Ahahahahaha! This is awesome. 18 has two friends over and I know one is 17 the other I just met. I went downstairs and asked them how old they are (18) and asked then if they voted. They said no, what do I do so we found their polling station and they are on the way!
I think it’s happened. This Bigfoot Netflix thing has *officially* made me the most embarrassed I can be to be Albertan.
Rock. Bottom.

I don’t want to go into details because my sanity is hanging by a thread (we and the kids are ok tho), but I was just at the ED at foothills and it’s absolutely swamped. It’s bananas.
For the love of fucking god mask up please.
I feel like just sobbing about this carbon tax business. This piece of shit got elected because “cArBoN tAx Is BaD”, now he’s doing it anyway, and we have to spend the next two years watching our province be completely destroyed. Fuck the UCP. Fuck Kenney. Fuck UCP supporters.
Ugh if I see or hear one more take about how kids are unlikely to have severe outcomes or die from covid I will lose my shit. Especially from people that, uh, don’t have kids. Sit down.
Just said goodnight to my babies on the last night before school and I’m not doing great. Solidarity to all the other parents and most of all the kids and educators heading back into classes right now. ❤️❤️
It didn’t have to be like this.

So the entitled snowbird assholes that are complaining (in seemingly every news source today) are the same boomer jerks that tell the rest of us we just don’t work hard enough, right?
I will never be able to forgive the people that gave up so early in the pandemic and believe that doing stupid shit like eating in at Boston pizza is more important than trying to save peoples lives.
15s friends all started high school yesterday without her, 8 starts online today. My FB TL is all back to school pics (don’t get me wrong I love them). I’m super emotional rn and I hope I did the right thing.
I’ll just be here crying in my

So, I had a call (on call hub today for

and

) and I got a UCP Party member that said they would still be considering Rachel and ndp for 2023! People aren’t happy and change is possible!

I’m trying to sleep. I am. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over finding my sister in her bed and just…..done
I just. Like it’s REALLY that fleeting. It is that fleeting. We cannot take this time for granted.
I don’t think I’ll truly ever get over the fact that most of us are like “we must do everything we can to keep people safe”, and then some others are just like, nah.

Alberta’s UCP government has given its approval for a gravel company to start mining up against Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, but members of the local preservation society are pointing to major environmental concerns.

Over 600 nurses in Alberta topped $130k per year. One even made $240k
They are running what is essentially an overtime scam.
3% cut is just the tip of the iceberg on what could be trimmed.
Omg my kid is doing a CALM assignment right now and one of the things she wrote was about how she wants to learn more about politics and how to change and make things better by talking to people.
Our kids are going to change the world you guys 😭❤️

My good friend just went to the UK and very kindly brought back some at home rapid tests for us. It’s absolutely wild that they are giving out 7 packs per household per day, yet in Alberta we have to pay $40 for one test. Wtf.

I don’t want to admit this bc you just know the UCP get off on our misery, but wow, I’ve felt really hopeless this week. I much prefer feeling rage that fuels my fire to make change. Today I just feel like crying. Fuck the UCP.

plain and simple that our kids might die, their beloved teacher might die. Also that we probably won’t get to see my at risk parents like ever again.
One thing I’ve not seen mentioned yet is how hinshaw basically said they stopped tracing because it was too labour intensive. Too much work so we’re not gonna. What the hell.
You know, for people that were railing against calling an election, the conservatives didn’t waste a second getting a crapload of signs out EVERYWHERE.
Ugh, husband sick. Going for covid test today. Not the first time, but with the case numbers lately I’m much more worried. Fingers crossed I guess.
Oh and fuck the UCP.

I’m already embarrassed enough to be from kkkenney kountry and now we have to have fucking god damn Derek Sloan with his god damn gilead shit? I can’t. I can’t. What the actual fuck. Under his eye my fucking ass. If you see him throat punch that fucker.
Just thinking back on that one time in my earlier Twitter days and this one guy announced he was unfollowing me because I wrote the word fuck in a tweet.
Oooooof! Called kenney on his leadership and straight up blamed him for where we are! Who was that? I will buy them a case of beer. 🔥🔥🔥

I have to go tell my dad today. I wanted to wait until I could speak with his doctor at the hospital about it, to see if she thought it would be a bad idea in his condition. We spoke last night and she gave me the go ahead.
This is going to suck really bad.
Kristina, a single mom, was working 3 jobs before the pandemic to provide for her kids
But now she’s down to one & is struggling to make ends meet
For her, a vaccine means going back to work
We need a plan for vaccines to help Kristina’s family — and others — get back to work
Good morning to everyone except
@AdrianaLaGrange
, who’s sending everyone back to school with no plan or support.

I don’t want to be a downer, just thinking out loud, and I’m very supportive of the protests and wish I could have attended this week, but IMO it will require something much more radical to get the UCP to change course. They simply do not care.

Clothing retailers PLEASE stop putting the the anti theft thingy on pants exactly where my hip bone goes.
Also, clothes with fake pockets can go to hell.
Also, the mask goes over your nose.
I hate shopping.
