@KCDavisSays That happened to my friend recently and the answer was “absolutely”. Our whole family also had the rabies shots as a precaution before travelling once and it was no different than any other course of vaccination.

If a bat 🦇 appeared in my room and flew around my head and I cant confirm how long the bat has been in the house do I need a rabies shot? Also now I cant find him despite no open windows and looking everywhere

@patriciaorpat @Patricia_Ann_E Yes. Good points. And we’re also talking about the cloth like bags that stores are now selling as an alternative. I’m not sure the material exactly but it’s not cotton, it’s not as sturdy either. @SafewayCanada bags even say “hand wash”. Definitely not a sustainable option.

@Patricia_Ann_E We cannot give up on reducing plastic bags just because it’s challenging to get used to. Cloth bags are (it is said) more carbon intensive to make. So let’s just make a bit of an effort to be kinder to our world, knuckle down and make remembering cloth bags a priority.

@ItsAngInLA @chydorina @remissionbiome That’s my go to for years. 1mg doxepin, 1mg melatonin, and magnesium. Layered onto a good sleep hygiene routine (eg low lights, no screen, body scanning meditation, etc).

@chydorina @remissionbiome Doxepin in VERY low doses as an antihistamine (blocks H1). Liquid. The lowest pill dose at 10mg is generally too high for sleep and often increases orthostatic intolerance. Low doses in 1-4mg are much better for sleep.

For healthy people almost all sleep issues can be solved with 'sleep hygiene'. This is not the case in chronic illness such as #MECFS #LongCovid that ramp up sympathetic hyperactivity and HPA axis. What solutions have you found to improve sleep? @remissionbiome

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-…

@brokeandweird Love this! I have a sticker on our mailbox and I like to think it’s like the block parent signs of the 80s/90s. As a queer kid growing up in a small town I remember very distinctly the few overt signs of queer culture around me and how it made me feel not so alone.

Today an older gentleman knocked on my door. As soon as I opened the door he blurted out “I saw your flag and thought you must be nice and will help me find an address I fly a Pride flag as a protest. It was beyond heartwarming to have it seen as a symbol of kindness and safety

@PelaTerraFarm The ads since Musk took over are next level. ‘Next level’ what? I don’t know. But I know they’re next level.

Dual citizenship, tax benefits, and freedom to live and work across Europe! In 30 days the program ends, act fast to apply in time.

Going to get a little controversial here, but if your child comes out at school and not to you, your questions shouldn’t be with your child, or with their teacher. You should really be questioning yourself.

The people who think they can afford private Healthcare are the same people losing their minds over a $5 carbon tax on their power bill. In case you needed evidence of how the Conservative supporters in our country are doing right now. #CdnPoli #AbPoli

Cis isn't a slur, it's a descriptive adjective just like "apartheid benefactor" or "divorced" or "hated so much by my kids that they changed their name so as to have nothing to do with me"

This is why you don't bow down to hate. This is why you don't cancel Pride events or marketing campaigns or anything because loud, angry people want to disrupt progress. When you bow down to hate, it doesn't go away. It gets emboldened. castanet.net/news/Kelowna/4…

@Paula_JKnight Do you mind sharing which model of Garmin you got? Is it one that calculates HRV?

Recently got a Garmin watch, and discovered that when lying on my left side I'm never in 'rest', including when asleep. And 'body battery' only charged 5%. The change from orange to blue is when I woke up and was turned onto my left side. Leftside sleeping it is, then. #pwME

@unfortunatalie @MattFoxhill Loop earplugs that allow some of the noise through are helpful! I find salons overwhelming - blow dryers, chatter, music - wearing loops still allow conversation/questions if needed from the stylists but muffle the overwhelming noise. I used to leave appts exhausted; not now.

@MattFoxhill You put your headphones on when having a haircut?! I have... never seen that done. Half way between aghast and impressed.

Everybody go back to the office NO NOT LIKE THAT

This kind of simplistic messaging and imagery leaves no room to doubt how simple minded the UCP really sees a certain part of their voter base to be.

Nagwan Al-Guneid is an energy expert, a mother and one of the Globe and Mail’s 50 Changemakers reinventing how Canada does business. She’s also the next MLA for Calgary-Glenmore! But she’s in a tight race and she needs your support: nagwanalguneid.albertandp.ca @NagwanYYC

Thinking of voting UCP “because of the economy”? Think again! New study shows UCP’s “trickle down” policies have hurt, not helped the Alberta economy. Wage growth, economic growth, investment all dismal under UCP. #abvotes #FireTheUCP #abpoli #abvote action.afl.org/press-release-…

@ErinInTheMorn Exactly. Last year I started to notice how many big brands made their pride posts on social media with comments turned off. Call. Them. Out.

The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride. If your advocacy consists merely of rainbows that disappear at the first gust of fascist wind, it amounts to net harm.

You only think that "cis" is a slur because you use "trans" that way.
