My mother, who had polio and lived her whole life with what it did to her body, cried when I could get the vaccine. In a place of science magic, I will never ever get polio. I am sure the dozens of people who died and those forever disabled when she contracted wanted the same

Mine had basketball playing waitress who is also a professor. For reasons of (ahem) coordination, I am really glad there was that academic third option.

I hate Teams so much. I find Zoom okay, but my brain really gets exhausted with the set up of windows on Teams and movement between to track people who are talking. I hate it. Condolences and happy napping.

I think this was part of the plan. No deal without Indigenous peoples. This is not a pipeline deal. But it is the end of a pipeline complaint that enforces the policy, rules, and law. Could he do that for healthcare, too? I would love to see that.

When I was a book reviews editor for a journal, I would get dozens of early MA students sending me their review assignments. It was a nightmare because my policy was always to give feedback to everyone. I found out part of the assignment was to show they had submitted it to a journal and stopped it.

Absolutely normal. Entrepreneurial even. We used to use pillow cases because they could hold a lot of weight and then run home, empty, and go again. I did it 3 or 4 times every year back in the 70s. Good times

We have seen images in Canada and our news covered some of it, but not nearly as much as would be fit such a large protest. Also coverage in Europe and elsewhere. A lot of the world is watching.

So 3 of those requests are reducing costs by 100%, 200%, and 300%. What is the 4th one? Sigh. The layers of corruption across the board are so hard to keep up with.
