Endometriosis Awareness Month is next month.
1 in 10 people live with endometriosis. Diagnosis still takes years. Access to care remains uneven. Research is underfunded.
Awareness matters, but action matters more.
Early diagnosis. Timely care. Better data. Real investment.

This is a necessary step for the Mill Cove ferry to work, and I feel a lot better about the project knowing that they're looking at this.
Locals probably don't want to hear this, but "Mill Cove gets the King's Wharf treatment" is basically the only correct answer if we're investing that much.

Catherine O’Hara made me laugh, again and again, without ever talking down to the audience.
That kind of comedy lasts.
Her presence in film and television will be missed.
May she rest in peace.

The world has lost one of its most courageous and passionate advocates for people + science.
Back in the days of Twitter, I saw her regularly send encouragement to people she’d never met. That was who she was: a model of joy, perseverance, courage, and kindness.
Kirsty, you will be so missed. 💔

We need to do better on endometriosis care.
Years-long diagnostic delays, limited specialist access, and long treatment wait times cause preventable harm.
Awareness without access is not care.
Patients deserve timely diagnosis, trained providers, and funded treatment pathways! #NSPoli #CDNPoli
