Against this background, I'm scared that the nuclear weapons of Russia + the US could wipe out this precious cosmic spark of consciousness forever. We need full nuclear disarmament by all countries. /4

...so that we tiny humans can observe the universe with our thinking consciousness and cause it to, finally, after all that, take on a concrete reality.🤯
As humans, we are so precious and so fragile. We need to take care of each other and this earth. /3

Listening to @ProfBrianCox on CBC and reflecting on how precious and fragile humanity is. One interpretation of quantum mechanics is that it takes a consciousness observing it to cause the universe to take on a concrete reality. /1

@DennisKendel @CPHO_Canada @picardonhealth @theresaboyle @KatharineSmart @CMA_Docs @SMA_docs @SKGov @PremierScottMoe @CoryNeudorf @CBCSask @starphoenix Fortunately we have great tracking indicators in SK!
- The poop testing (rising).
- How many friends and families you know sick with COVID right now (all of them).
- Whether the pharmacy is sold out of children's Tylenol (it is).

#Mobile phones are a game-changer in expanding access to financial services, yet in low- & middle-income countries, women are now 18% less likely than men to own a smartphone (@GSMA). Action 5️⃣ of #10Actions4Equality directly tackles this #genderdivide. 🔗bit.ly/2MMdrWS

@__apf__ Woke up our 6 year old for school this morning. She looks at us, sticks her tongue out, says "You're a poopy butt!", then pulls the blankets back over her head. I imagine she'll be doing the same thing at 16 :).

Wishing so hard tonight for peace and justice for the people of #Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Pulled up their covers and held my daughters close tonight. It's quiet here - no air raid sirens over Saskatoon. Part of me is thinking: we are so lucky to live in safety. The other part is screaming that no, nobody anywhere should have to worry about the sky falling on them.

It's the last day of Teacher / Staff Appreciation Week in Saskatchewan.
It's been a REALLY long 2021-22 for teachers, educators, and school staff. They've been through so much.
To all these hard-working professionals, from parents across Saskatchewan:
THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👏👏
English
@AThiamCox Félicitations! Et bonne chance... Aux nouveaux parents! Elle est magnifique.

@jackandkatesdad @PremierScottMoe I'm so sorry Sheldon for your loss. Thinking about you and your family.

"I guess the angry minority of truckers isn't actually disrupting supply chains in #SK... Can anything?"
Mother Nature: "Hold my beer!"

Anxious, exhausted, disillusioned, ☕ fueled, and 💯 badass, she and thousands of teachers and healthcare workers are the heroes #SK needs, not the ones we deserve. You're amazing.

This could turn into the snow shoveling thread... I'm off to bed while the amazing @Jo_BootsBoots marks podcasts and plans lessons for tomorrow. After scrapping together a daycare solution. To teach the students she loves in the middle of this disaster. ❤️

Daycare is closed until next week because of Covid. Staying at home with my little one and scrambling for alternate care this week, and oh, cool cool cool, there’s not enough subs. Hey @PremierScottMoe, is this what you mean by “Saskatchewan Strong?”

Parenting challenge, day 1 of holiday break: How to get them to stop saying "poopy butt" 14,000 times per day.
Parenting challenge, day 14: How to get the 3yo to stop walloping the 6yo on the head when she wants that toy.
Can we go back to day 1? 😣

And... also Pfizer and Moderna, and researchers and scientists!

Remember who got us through 2021. It wasn't the billionaires or corporations. It was the nurses, PSWs, lab technicians, bus drivers, farm workers, delivery workers, factory workers & many other essential workers at work even today. Make 2022 about supporting essential workers.

I'm so sorry to the burnt-out nurses and doctors that have been fighting this for almost 2 years, and are now about to go through the most uncontrolled wave of COVID cases yet. Please @SKGov let's use the time we've got to roll out a science-based plan to avoid this.
English
Even with fewer hospitalizations per case, uncontrolled Omicron spread in schools will create a spike in cases like we've never seen, and 3 weeks from now hospitals will be overwhelmed, causing needless deaths.
English
As a parent in a house with a teacher, a 6 year old, and a 3 year old, I'm really worried about the return to schools in #SK at the start of an Omicron surge. Every wave, SK has the gift of foresight: we see what happens in provinces where new variants arrive first. #covid19sk 🧵
Dr. Alexander Wong@awong37
To conclude, we NEED to hear SOMETHING from @SKGov regarding plans for safe schools. NO plan? Tell us. Offloading everything to school boards? Tell us. No communication? That means there's no plan. Not to mention SUPER lame. #SK parents & kids deserve better. Thank you. /end
