She/Her. Living liver donor (non-directed), plasma donor. Skye and Dori’s fur-mom. RIP Mini, my Saint Bernard. Runs Village PR: comms for nonprofits. Lefter than left. Not related to that hateful UK "leader." Taller than you. Ottawa 🇨🇦
Exciting middle-age weekend plans: picked up an embroidery book from the library. @opl-bpo.bsky.social

My dog would like everyone to know it’s -18°C in Ottawa.

Dori is *over* winter.
December 11, 2025 at 3:19 PM
Just hit the map. I got a text saying estimated restore time is 2:30 am.

Dori lives to be snuggled. We adopted her about three months ago and she’s a delightful dog.

Feeling stressed?
Here’s Dori in her new hat.
Sweet girl is a puppy mill rescue from Kentucky and isn’t used to the cold.

Friday joy: Here's a video of Dori from earlier this week. Our Kentucky-born rescue pup experienced her first snowfall. And her first time walking in boots.

Dori somehow doesn’t find the Lansdowne discussion riveting.

I visited a new-to-me hair salon in Nepean. Arrived to see this sign on the front lawn. Immaculate vibes. No notes.

We see you have a cookie.

CBS plasma donation waiting area…
People talking: I wonder what kidney paired donation is?
Me: Hi strangers! Lemme tell you…

Cars on the street were broken into last time, so I’m checking our doorbell footage and hiiiiiiiiii.

Keep your eyes on the skies this weekend.
Northern lights possible. Best viewing is facing north of the city, eg facing the Quebec side along the Ottawa River. From either east or west of the city. Away from light pollution.

And then there were two. We’ve adopted a second dog from Freedom Dog Rescue.
Dori is a boxer rescued from a puppy mill. Sweet girl in 8-10 month old and was already bred. You’re safe now ❤️

Avoid Terry Fox northbound at Palladium.

After much anticipation for Wally Lamb's new book, I read 4%, reached that terrible moment that happens... and NOPE.
I stopped and the book went back to the library @opl-bpo.bsky.social.
Can't do it.

Not a dry eye at the end of the presentation about heart transplants during the war in Ukraine.
August 4, 2025 at 5:52 PM
The mother of an organ donor listens to her son’s heart beat in the heart recipient.
August 4, 2025 at 5:50 PM
33 heart transplants have been performed during the war in Ukraine.
A new law to maintain public trust in the transplant system prohibits organ retrieval from anyone killed as a direct result of the war. As with every patient, every effort is made to save their life.

Heart transplants continue in Ukraine. In this video, a donor heart is transported during a massive missile attack.
I’m at the World Transplant Congress.

The sky just wanted you to know that trans women are women and trans men are men. 🏳️‍⚧️
