Today is National Coming Out Day 🚪
No matter who you are — what age, race or gender — it’s never an easy thing to be honest and vulnerable in a culture of stigma but I promise you, life outside the closet is worth it. Amazing how this tiny clip from the sitcom BROOKLYN NINE-NINE nailed it ❤️

We do unfortunately still have medical bankruptcy in Canada, but at less than 1/3 of the U.S. rate.

I wonder if this’ll earworm us with HEPATITAS the same way Wilf Brimley did with DIABEETUS

“War ravaged Portland” is about the most batshit thing I’ve read in well…at least the past 5 minutes. Honestly, it’s hard to keep up with all the ridiculousness.

I’m still not the biggest “guy” in the gym because, even though I built the home gym, the rest of my fam uses it also and they’re all better at it than me. Next time I work out, I’ll do the Skeletor laugh though, that’ll make me feel better.

Sign, put out by PHAC, displayed inside a doctor’s office washroom during year 6 of an airborne pandemic. Like, yes, wash your hands but come on….le sigh.

Sign that says, “Reduce the spread of Covid-19. Wash your hands.” with pictograms displaying hand washing technique.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Ah yes, my dad whose “junk drawer” contained small boxes, meticulously organized with tiny, perfect colour-coded labels…even if there was only 1 item per box.

My brother was made to watch the service by a staff member at his group home (for adults with mental/physical disabilities). He was so upset when I showed up for my visit, thinking some wonderful person had been assassinated. I am fucking livid and trying to decide what to do about this.
