Last year there was an uproar from the public about pool lifeguards refusing unsafe work. This is a fair concern since they are located on their lifeguard chairs without any sort of methods of cooling off. Cycling today in 45°C humidex was difficult (37°C, 49%RH). I think it did impact me because I am experiencing…

When mentioning my volunteer time in Ukraine with kids who were either orphans or social orphans, my manager criticized me for not doing something local (with BIPOC kids). What he failed to understand was: It’s funny that you have people who are quick to judge you for your choices but cannot put the same effort…

Am I being mean? In what sense? Being a female who has to endure bullshit from men, white collar men. Corporate people who think they’re above blue collar people pisses me off. Convention centres not wanting to see people who maintain their space. That is the wildest thing I’ve ever heard. Ok fine, you can…

I’ve been thinking much about this. Trying to navigate it with AI, bounce thoughts. Reflecting on my grandfather’s birthday. The man he was. What he endured. What my grandmother endured. What their families endured. This isn’t to say there were stupid stereotypes in the village with other religions. This was a common issue in Eastern…

Umm… I don’t think I have words. I do feel for Rob + Renata’s kids. Words are currently hard to find. I don’t know what your life has been like, but I can imagine it being difficult growing up; I’ve had half of that of what you have gone through. Taking care of your mental…

Reflecting on current leadership on this world stage… is laughable. You have men with tiny hands thinking they’re God’s greatest creation. They’re compensating for their tiny wieners by unnecessary fireworks that could go to taking care of the people that they serve. I emphasize this – the people do not serve leadership. The leadership serves…

I’ll start with, I always had a hard time listening to this man. He rambles a lot without logic/making sense. The scene with military families standing there with their folded American flag for their lost loved ones in the military… felt… difficult to watch. These people lost their loved ones. They deserve more respect than…

The 42°C with humidex weather yesterday kicked my butt. Usually I could get through that but since being on Sertraline I could feel my eyes get super heavy. Apparently this is a critical warning sign for those on Sertraline to look out for in this weather. Thinking about these different Heat Stroke warning signs and…

It makes it so hard to get things completed with our Service Ontario, WSIB and Service Canada departments. My mom had to go to Service Ontario FOUR times to get my father’s health card renewed. He couldn’t go to the office because he’s bed ridden but she also doesn’t have power attorney over him, nor…

Reflecting on the last two weeks. It was nice to have family visiting from Poland. Trying to show them our world here and how life is here. I know it can be a bit different – and that’s fine. The world is a diverse place. I think it’s also that little pride in the place…
