Just imagine the police doing as much for a murdered Indigenous woman of no means as they do for the CEO of a company profiting from their calculated denial of health care to others.

My hat is off to #Derevyachenko, but I don't see any way he can win this fight. His chin is tough, and he's fighting VERY WELL for a dude with a torn bicep, but he's fighting Christian #Mbilli while severely wounded. Christian f-ing Mbilli! Go Mbilli go!
Had my first ever Lurid Boletes. Sorta bland. Gonna spice the rest up a bit more.
Too late to learn another colonial language, say #Indigenous students opposing #Quebec's #Bill96 (I 100% agree)

When it comes to #pain relief, (prescribed, managed) opioids>> hash or concentrates of indica>>other forms of cannabis>>tylenol, aspirin, or advil
And each > is a factor of ten like the Richter scale.
If the chemicals had been dumped in the St. Lawrence and affected Montreal, the problem would have been solved far faster than it has been for Grassy Narrows First Nation. #cdnpoli #FirstNations #GrassyNarrows #Canada https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/05/27/news/environmental-racism-mercury-poisoning-Grassy-Narrows
I know people mean well & I'm not angry w/ individuals as none really understand people with #chronicpain until it happens to us, but nothing sinks me more than hearing, "You seem fine." My pain may be invisible to you, but this reduces my physical perceptions to your limited observations.
My MDs & NP, MRI & EMG scans, 3 ganglion block injections, 2 cortisone shots, massive rX record, general surgeon, plastic surgeon, pain clinic docs, 3 neurologists, neurosurgeon & daily life all disagree.
Having one of those days where not only is my pain high but my frustration is nearly as high.
It's been 3 years since my #shingles outbreak that led to the #phn #neuralgia that has caused me pain 100% of the time since;
It's been 15 months since a pinched nerve led to diagnoses of #foraminal #stenosis #degenerativediskdisease & resulting peripheral #neuropathy.
It's a day where I need to shout into a void that I am fucking sick of this & am not coping well atm. Sorry to rant but I needed to.
Remember, though you may not see a person's #chronicpain or their #disability, it doesn't mean they aren't suffering.
Pain is often invisible, but is unfortunately all too real.
Trust those suffering, and respect their wishes and needs.
Student protestors are portrayed as anywhere between naive and brainwashed. Now listen to this. Nothing naive here.

I know I'm behind the game for many of you, but here's my belated succinct review of #StationEleven #station11
It's a very beautiful and poignant 10-episodes-and-done look at what makes us human in the afterglow of civilizational collapse - in a novel way. I'll miss it in a way different from many other shows, as more like an old friend. If you ever watch it, you'll understand.
There is no supported evidence of weakened mutation, rather those must susceptible have usually already been adversely impacted and whether through viral infection or vaccination (or both) antibodies have led to reduced rates of severity in the remaining population. Yet COVID remains many times more likely to cause severe illness or long-term health outcomes than flu (even if mild cases are often far milder).
Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich formally announces the continued theft and annexation of 800 further hectares of Palestinian land in the West Bank, alleging a proclaimed, "right to Judea and Samaria and the country in general."
Reminder: annexation is a war crime.
