No one I know has severe long covid.

But on long covid awareness day, I encourage you to watch this.

It is real. It is life altering.

I am lucky to have a wonderful husband and family and a couple of great friendships. I still try to enjoy my life. But I will tell you frankly: Vlad the Impaler could not come up with a more sadistic form of torture than severe Long Covid. It is worth avoiding, and it is worth your attention.

And there are no approved treatments, no cures. People with LC are on the very fringes of medical understanding. Some doctors don’t believe it’s real. Most people don’t have any idea what it entails. And when they get it, they will find themselves utterly lost.

Doug Ford to allow more stores to open on Family Day and Victoria Day The changes would give retailers the option to remain open on the two non-religious holidays β€” starting with Victoria Day on May 28.

Canada’s laziest premier (who is also in the running for most corrupt) wants to make retail employees work on Victoria Day and Family Day.

What will it take for people to wake up and stop voting for Doug Ford?

To hell with gen AI, what I REALLY need is an equivalent of Clippy that pops up to say something like

"It looks like you're about to close a piece of tedious administrivia without finishing it.

remember how the last one took you like 20 minutes after 6 months?

bitch just do the thing"

This is just another very stupid Liberal decision. You can't get cell service in many areas, e.g., Algonquin Park.
I wrote an email in protest to our useless MP on 25th Feb and she never responded.
They don't care.

Promo image for Get Birding with Sean Bean where he's wearing a nice walking jacket, cap, and holding a cup of coffee. At the bottom it proclaims it is The UK's Leading Birdwatching Podcast.

I've just discovered the show "Get Birding with Sean Bean" and really, really hope it goes in the 'no' list for my "Does Sean Bean Die?" blog.

Anyone wondering what respiratory virus season in Ontario hospitals looks like, Jeff's got you covered in this 🧡.

"The youngest age group 0-4 currently have a hospitalization rate due to COVID that are 11x higher than age 5-17, 5.5x higher than age 18-49, and 2x higher than adults 50-64." πŸ‘€

The details of this even in this piece are brutal. She was babysitting 4 kids when she was arrested, what happened to them?!

This is being applied retroactively. With the Ford government's record on ethics as compromised as it is, this is so shady. It smells like a cover-up.

And kudos to @globalnews.ca for being like a dog with a bone trying to force transparency and accountability on a government fighting it. #OnPoli

I specifically requested no more snow.
At least Bean enjoys eating it.

My Year as a Degenerate Sports Gambler Practically overnight, America made wagering on a game as frictionless as checking the weather. I was determined to understand the consequencesβ€”for my country, and for myself.

A female friend of mine told me last year that a red flag for her when dating men was how involved they were in sports betting. And you know what? She is right.

A Grand DayΒ Out By Bernie Bell. A fine spring day, and we walked along Newark Bay stood on the little wooden bridge to watch the ripples & tangles Then came across one of the stoat traps being deployed by the Orkney Native Wildlife Project There are quite a few of them along this stretch of coast, presumably to try to stop the little varmints from crossing to Copinsay – which would be disastrous for the ground-nesting birds there.

While it's still cold outside, it's never too early to plan those summer crochet gifts for the adventurous men in your lives.

This billionaire donor class is widespread, entrenched, insidious, and beyond current laws because the US Supreme Court paved the way years ago and one of their own is in charge.

This would not be the first time a standoff with Iran weakened an American presidency. It would also not be the first time a Middle East oil crisis severely weakened the US economy.

This large metal cylinder in Osaka is not connected to the road overhead. It's new sewerage, and the top is supposed to be at road level. For reasons no-one can yet explain, the pipe rose 10m overnight. www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/202...
