@David_Moscrop I received 40,000 mileage plus points from United because of a champagne shower (and cork fly-by inches from my head), pre-flight SFO-SYD. Luckily I'd packed a change of clothes in my carry-on. It sucked. Sorry about your computer! :(

Last night on my Air Canada flight home from Vancouver to Ottawa, after more than a day in transit from Australia, a flight attendant spilled ginger ale all over me and my computer, and then another immediately tried to charge me $14 for a sandwich. Honestly? Pretty funny bit.

@monicasamuel @NerdyCheeseCurd or necco wafers of any flavor.

@NerdyCheeseCurd Smarties by a landslide. Now if not was rockets vs. sweeTARTS…rockets would lose that battle as well 😂😂😩

Canadians be like; here's our Smarties & Rockets

In 2012 i was diagnosed with a deadly blood disorder known as TTP. I was in the hospital for a month. A white nurse almost killed me because she thought i was drug seeking. I kept telling her my central line in my groin was hurting& she wouldn’t give me any morphine just Tylenol. I went septic later on that night because of the central line. I went into SVT and had to go to cardiac ICU for a week. I was 18. My TTP flared up again in 2016 and i went to the ER. I told the (white) doctor that i had TTP and that i needed to be admitted. He had my records right in front of him. I was just there 4 years earlier, the same hospital diagnosed me. He told me that i didn’t have TTP…i had ITP. He sent me home with steroids and pain meds. I cried and cried and sat at home all weekend until i could get to my hematologist. I called them and they had me come in immediately. Got labs drawn…my hemoglobin and platelets were VERY low. They did a direct admit: I had to get 14 bags of platelets and 3 bags of blood. My hematologist and his NP told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve died. More recently in 2022 i went to a freestanding ED because i thought i had the flu. I was in pain, my blood pressure was elevated, i had a fever. I told the black NP that i have TTP and asked them to do a cbc and ADAMTS13 level if they could. I got pain meds, waited for the (white) doc to come and see me. He told me ny labs were “fine” and that i just had a stomach virus. I didn’t believe that so i asked him what my platelet count was. He told me 30k (normal platelet count in non chemo patients are 150k-400k) i almost lost my shit on him. He went back and further with me for 10 minutes about how i wasn’t having a TTP flare up and i told him to call the fucking hospital that I’m usually treated at and find me a bed. He begrudgingly did it. He came back not even 10 minutes later and said that the hospital i usually go to was full (it was around Christmas time) but after the on call hematologist at the level 1 trauma center downtown saw my blood work they wanted me to come in IMMEDIATELY. Hematologist told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve been dead before Christmas. Every time that I’ve almost died it was either at the hands of a white nurse or doctor. They don’t take our pain or complaints seriously! They think we are drug addicts. I literally became a nurse because of this. We need black doctors. That lawsuit is just a bunch of fucking racists who are mad. Fuck them.

@Aand0E Oh that's good, then. Good luck!

@jenn Oh, interesting! My lower abdomen looks mostly like what it did prior to surgery, but I'll lightly massage the scar tissue just in case. *Lightly.* ^_^

8 beautiful scars, from my vaginoplasty~ ^-^

@StopTweetingMia Yes, that is twitter in a nutshell.

I just got a twitter ad that's two dogs fucking each other. What has this world come to.

@Aand0E The lap scars were stapled. Basically invisible now. I wish I'd know I could have massaged the shelf scar so it didn't adhere as strongly as it did. Hopefully your surgeon didn't bundle a ton of fat into your lower abdomen above the scar, tho. (google abdomen shelf)

@Aand0E I hope you're healing well. I'm guessing two surgeries at the same time is harder than one. I was lucky. No other health issues and no complications. Everything is good now.

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.” The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove. So I got pissed. Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids. Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women. That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm. Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.

@victryena More like Drumheller, I can see hoodoos in the distance.

@datadriven_tdoc That doesn't seem like tea at the Royal York or Shangri-La, but it looks tasty!

Looking. dainty….

@randomfrequency @camcavers It looks like a Mazda Cayenne.

@camcavers Doesn't.. really look like a Lotus?

Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

@sambbury Doesn't the 519 have a gym? Otherwise, probably anywhere downtown tbh.

i'm on the list for the toronto queer womens basketball league but i'd like to find a drop in nearby that like, isn't gonna be weird about trans sports stuff just to brush up given i haven't played in nearly a decade

@RyMB woo! big news! welcome.

Me! (soon to be officially)

@DougEyolfson to be fair, that's an awesome shirt for all kinds of reasons.

So, it appears my brother in law shares my weird sense of humour. He got me this:
