Me female and woman who went through IVF. My partner and I set a budget constraint beforehand because all things hormonal.

Florence Ashley @floralashes.bsky.social · 6h

I’m watching a TV show and this fictional woman quit her job and went through 9 rounds of IVF at a cost of nearly $200,000 and wanted to go for yet another round.

Did nobody think to mention the existence of adoption?

I spent 18 months with cycle vomiting syndrome before it was diagnosed. Talk about anxiety with vomiting. Talk to me about vomiting with other complex health issues. Sigh

Question in my migraine support group

Has anyone else’s migraines gotten so bad that it’s starting to affect who they are as a person?”

It is a neurological disorder. How could it not? And if your employer has EDUA policies that doesn’t accommodate… well 🫣😬🤯

Inspiring: this elbowless man manages to hold down a full time job as a Prime Minister

Mark Carney may look like just another Canadian Prime Minister. But don’t let that fool you. The most inspiring part of his story isn’t that he went to Harvard, or even that he’s made millions working...

Note how the Minister suggests how the issues in the classroom and remuneration are just “in the last few years.” That is further from the truth. This has been building for more than 2 decades.

How long is this teachers' strike going to last? Is there a double standard between public and private schools? Will the government ultimately order teachers back to work? We ask Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides.

One is definitely more transparent than the other. Any province hell bent on subsidizing private education or defunding public education will find a way to do so

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 1d

IMO the UCP would just create a tax credit (probably non refundable because...) that would recognize the costs of private education through the tax system as a back door (?) way to fund private education. So agreed.

When a worked in Ottawa, a very wise policy analyst once told me to always check the briefing note archives whenever a policy issue came up because the chances were that someone wrote something about it sometime in the last 5 years.

The econ PhD market will be difficult this year. The exact same thing happened when I went on the market years ago: I sent out 150 applications...and got 1 interview! Then I wrote a paper about it! ideas.repec.org/p/feb/natura...

Both sides of the market responded. Is this happening now too?
