@Momzillaonline @inqdragon2 Love it! Either a hippy or a bird!

@DiscernmentX @inqdragon2 I have very long hair and when I clean my hair brush after brushing my hair, I save the hair in a small container and when it's full I take it outside and leave it for the birds and small animals to use for their nest too! Yes, I'm should have been a 1960's Hippy.

My last question of the day: What’s a favorite childhood memory?

@GrayMarker99 Like a piece of marble. One of the sea’s chess pieces.

Throwback Thursday to one of the coolest icebergs I’ve ever photographed. 📸: May 2019 - Bonavista, NL

@7signxx And let us not forget the Lebanese.

"In front of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Hong Kong MP Dominic Lee made a shocking statement: “The West talks about human rights, but lets Israel get away with committing genocide.” “The blood of Palestinians and Iranians is on their hands.” “What moral credentials does America have? A country ruled by Epstein’s followers!” ©prinzchal

@Momzillaonline @inqdragon2 I was wondering about that. Glad you’ve kept the conversation going!

@DiscernmentX @inqdragon2 Thanks. It's also true. I still feed the CROWS on my property as an OLD Woman and talk to them.

@McdowallRose I’ve been saying it every single day in my reports from the ground for the past two years. It’s an ethnic cleansing operation on a bigger scale than the Nakba.

Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines. But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes. Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities. What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life

"It was a deliberate attempt to silence us..." British journalist Steve Sweeney talks about surviving Israeli bombing.

@AmandaAchtman @jo_kelllo @FerdiLouw Amanda, it amazes me that people seem to doubt you. Maybe you have to live here and follow the expansion of this “procedure” to get it . . . or have someone who is older or disabled in your circle.

@jo_kelllo @FerdiLouw I met Miriam on March 6, 2026 after a talk I gave on Vancouver Island. Judging by her family's Facebook posts, her Cuba trip was in October 2025.

I met an 84-year-old woman who was offered euthanasia at a Canadian hospital practically upon arrival. Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala. Stop offering death to people who have adventures to lead!

@RobGoodall6 @AmandaAchtman You are right. Sadly, it isn’t just the elderly.

@AmandaAchtman They're trying to make old people feel like a burden and guilt them into offing themselves. Docs that offer MAID unsolicited need to lose their license. You'd only have to do it to a few of them before they'd all stop.

@KolotRabbi @AmandaAchtman @ezralevant Thank you for reporting this. Absolutely appalling.

@AmandaAchtman @ezralevant This happened to my Dad too. I was livid. A young physician, a woman, barely met Dad and offered him MAID. I reported her.

@Lbrettepas @AmandaAchtman Appalling. Wonderful that you are there for your mother.

At 72, still owning her own house, on her second visit to the Quebec CLSC elderly support program… they offered my Mother pamphlets on assisted suicide and actively pushed her to read them. 😡 Before they even presented her with any real supported social care plan or home-help framework. I was FUCKING FURIOUS and never missed another meeting to accompany her.

@arealmofwonder Beautiful. Thank you. How do you find these gems?

An amazing poem. • Paul Durcan •

@A_MacLullich What a wonderful, informative post. Thank you for it. Very useful for family members to know. And thank you for your attentive care. The world needs more clinicians like you.

Medical student experience of an encounter with a patient with delirium - "Mrs. P was 83. She was in a bay of 4 patients on a medical ward. Two of them were noisy - one was calling out repeatedly, another had a loud TV. Mrs. P was quiet. Eyes open, staring at the ceiling. Looked unhappy and puzzled. Not eating the lunch tray in front of her. Not pressing her call bell. Not moving much. In a busy ward, quiet patients are 'settled' patients. Nobody seemed worried about Mrs. P. I was taking histories as part of my clinical attachment. I sat down next to her and said hello and introduced myself. She looked at me briefly but didn't answer. She looked away. I asked her name. She did not answer. I asked her again and she gave her name. I asked where she was. She looked surprised by the question then said, 'at home'. She had no idea she was in hospital. I mentioned this to the ward doctor. He came and assessed her. She was profoundly inattentive, disoriented in time and place, and had been like this for at least two days based on the nursing observations - which had documented 'settled' and 'comfortable' because she wasn't causing any problems, though two entries also mentioned 'confused' ? baseline - though no additional mental status assessments had been done. She had pneumonia and constipation that were already being treated, but nobody had formally recognised that her quietness was delirium. Hypoactive delirium. The subtype where patients don't shout, don't climb out of bed, don't pull out their lines. They just... go quiet. And going quiet, in a hospital, can make you less visible. Hypoactive delirium is more common than the hyperactive form, and it carries a worse prognosis. Patients with hypoactive delirium have higher mortality rates, and longer hospital stays. Yet it's detected even less often, because it doesn't trigger alarms. It doesn't create workload. It doesn't disrupt the ward. The noisiest patients get the most attention but the quietest patients may be sicker. Since that day, I make a point of doing a delirium assessment on the quiet ones."

It is not antisemitism to call this what it is and to condemn those who did it

Stop sending Canadian weapons parts to Israel. Simple.

@BeardedUniverse The tree, like the sun, radiates outwards. Lovely, Andrew. Thank you.

Wishing you a wild Wednesday 😁

@angelshalagina I send my love to you and your fellow Ukrainians. I remember you always and feel great sorrow over your suffering.

The world is getting tired of Ukraine Slowly. Quietly The focus shifts Now it’s the Middle East I understand - A war that lasts years Is not “interesting” anymore But our war didn’t end Ukraine is still fighting Still making russia weak And we are still dying - Soldiers, civilians, children Even if you don’t see it in the news Ukraine is no longer a headline But we are still here Still fighting not only for ourselves - But for Europe’s future And we still need your support

@jaubreyYT Indecency, deep indecency, is the order of the day.

No decent human being finds comfort in this. What a horrifyingly repulsive individual.

This is the first NYT headline acknowledging Israeli sexual violence against Palestinians — something human rights groups have documented for decades.

For those who followed my recent twitter dialogue regarding MAiD. I know the person in the video. It was outrageous that she was offered MAiD at Vancouver General. This 84 year old just hiked up a volcano in Guatemala! @AmandaAchtman
