My 5 year old just called cauliflower "ghost broccoli". I'm 99% sure he thought of this term on his own. He's going to be just fine once he's old enough to be on Twitter.

@MarkPimentelMD does bismuth subnitrate work as well as bismuth subsalicylate when paired with rifaxamin to treat H2S SIBO? (Fusobacteria) 🙂

In 2018 > half a ton of tetracyclines were given to farm animals (driving antibiotic resistance to #doxynorris @TorontoIDDoc) I love antibiotics -they save lives But antibiotics used because of terribly crowded conditions on farms & to maximize profits -that puts us all at risk

It's a little foggy on the 22x East of yyc. Can anyone tell me how the ring road looks going northwest?

@MondoAlberta @kim_siever A business owner I know who runs an engineering firm calls it the "pimps and hos" model.

Rich people are rich because they steal worker wages.

@KikkiPlanet I'm actually keeping my kids home from school next week just because I don't need another damn virus that might cause us to miss Christmas with family. Can't believe kids are in school up till the 22nd in #cbe. Who is responsible for this sorry sighted scheduling?

@KikkiPlanet We haven't had COVID but my kids brought home a cold in September, strep throat in October (my youngest has it reoccur), the flu in November, and recently a nasty child from which we're still recovering. 2 kids, family of 4, we've been sick 8 weekends out of the past 12.

@hippersons Oh, I see. I'm there too. I'll try to find you

@AlliAlliG Are you on mastadon?

Pros: it’s Friday! I don’t work Monday! Cons: this

@hippersons Are you on mastadon?

This is too much. I'll be over on mastadon if anyone wants to talk to me. bbc.com/news/technolog…

.@Google if I leave enough Google reviews and answer enough questions about local businesses, can I kindly have more free storage space on my Google account. 'Cause ummm yeah, that'd be great.

Hi folks. I've more or less moved over to mastadon. Follow me there! @AmberDennison@mstdn.ca

@amandalhu just saw the global News peice about ventilation. Please let me know if there's anything the average parent can do to help. I'm interested in supporting.

People born in 1983 will be 60 next year. Let that sink in.

@AlliAlliG @avmeelliaa Fair enough. Also, I have no idea if my make-shift testing would actually work, just hope. Kids hate the tests. I wish they would bring back the drive thru testing for 5 and under. 2 and under is good but was a weird cut off since 5 and under couldn't get vaxed for so long

@ButtonMarie @avmeelliaa I’m working from home tomorrow so I’ll test when symptoms come or when I have to go back to the office!

Both my parents have COVID and I live with them and ugh I just hate living this germy, anxious, ‘should I work in the office and send kiddo to daycare even though we feel fine but literally could get sick tomorrow’ nightmare.

@ohheyshaeshae @SkProMasker @AlliAlliG I thought we caught COVID last week (since our neighbours had COVID) but we kept testing negative. Likely the flu since I didn't get shots yet. It was bad. Very similar.

@AlliAlliG @avmeelliaa Grab more tests if you can, test yourself. My 4yo hates the tests too. I've been testing him by swabbing his mouth and getting him to blow his nose on a rag (Kleenex is too absorbent) and then I swab the boogers (if there are any).

@avmeelliaa I’ve decided I’m not going to test my kiddo unless she has symptoms because it’s honestly super traumatizing for her. Plus we only have so many tests lol
