Fuck Bell. I don’t believe one word they say.

I tried meds right after diagnosis but they messed me up something fierce (awake for 36 hrs, etc). Guess my coping/masking was so ingrained that meds didn’t help at all.

Now I’m starting to heal from the burnout but still have issues when there’s too many people around (my brain gets overwhelmed).

TIL there was a 5M year old cold-blooded mammal that humans killed off (but ofc).

Today I was reminded that science grows as new discoveries are made.

But we still killed the little beasties off. Nothing has changed there.

Yup. Currently on my 4th burnout that’s lasted 3 yrs and counting (previous 3 were 1 yr each).

I just don’t have it in me to buck up and try to work again. :/

Saw 3 psychologists (one was a student) and they all blew me off because I was an older woman.

Finally got diagnosed two and a half years ago in my early 60’s.

An Australian coal speculator that is suing the Alberta government for billions of dollars has been found to have violated the Public Lands Act and has been ordered to clean up contamination at a construction site in the Crowsnest Pass.

Despite repeated visits by government inspectors, Montem Resources, which now operates under the name of Evolve Power, ignored requests to clean up after its unauthorized construction activities for a year and half. (The enforcement order names Montem.)

In 2025 the company asked for an extension on an enforcement order by Alberta Forestry and Parks and was granted one by the government.

Critics of Premier Danielle Smith’s unpopular pro-coal development policies in the eastern slopes of the Rockies say the incident underscores that while the government can promise “environmentally responsible policies that hold industry to the highest standards,” the reality is different.

Tbh I think most headlines are written by AI these days.

When I was in university one of my profs told a story about a similar situation. The gov’t wanted to trim the budget so figured they should use workfare (people on social assistance/welfare must work at whatever job the gov’t gives them).

Unfortunaltely whoever was in charge decided that two older men, both lifelong alcoholics, should drive a tractor around a produce field to pick up the harvest. One of old guys ended up running over his buddy (both were drunk at the time).

It had been recommended that the program differentiate between those capable of working without constant supervision and those who couldn’t … but the higher ups ignored it.

Probably because it’s breaking news so info is scarce.

4 of them were Canadians so the feds have requested a visit by the Israeli ambassador.

We’ll see what happens.

Why can’t the rule be opt in instead? If I want it, I’ll find it. If I don’t I sure as hell don’t want some company telling me I must.

Gtfo with that shite.

People who live in high-crime areas.

Earlier this week, Carney joined British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in threatening to impose sanctions on Israel in response to its “denial of essential humanitarian assistance” in Gaza.

The Western leaders’ letter followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying his country would control Gaza despite mounting international pressure to lift a blockade on aid supplies that left the enclave on the brink of famine.

Netanyahu condemned the joint statement in a social media post and called it “a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7,” referring to Hamas’s attack against Israel in 2023 which ignited the war in Gaza

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also took aim at Carney’s joint statement.

“The Hamas terrorists have just thanked Mark Carney for his recent statement on Israel,” he posted online Tuesday.

The IDF said it “regrets the inconvenience caused.”

The reasons women often say stuff like that are numerous tho, ie: men still make more money than women, hold far more CEO/COO positions in companies, have a higher representation in politics, rarely deal with threats of rape, are not trolled incessantly online, rarely face being murdered by someone they know, etc etc etc.

If men don’t call out the inequalities and women are vilified for doing so, who’s gonna force the much-needed changes we need?

Gotta love 'Murica giving employers two ways to fuck their workers.

I wonder what Israel was hiding.

For those looking for the maple leaf in the window …

There’s a lot of things that shouldn’t be for-profit (ie: affordable housing, food, potable water) but the Reagan/Thatcher trickle-down bs has led Western nations to this point.

If we want change we’re gonna have to fight tooth and nail for it.

Pfft. I’ve lived here, on and off, for 20 years and never once heard anyone say ‘aboot’.
