Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

Colleen Jones was something wonderful to happen for anyone who knew her | CBC Sports
Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

Colleen Jones was larger than life.
I’m devastated by her death. And will be forever inspired by how she lived. And fought. And loved.
More than anything I’ll miss our laughs and lattes. And am so grateful for every second we had together. I love you, Coll.

Today, we remember all the lives we've lost to injustice.
One life is too many. We cannot stop until we know our loved ones can safely be themselves in this world.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I am seeing the posts about American healthcare premiums going up 5x and more. And I want to gather my Canadians and folks who have universal healthcare and let you know that Americans know their system is broken. You don't need to tell them that right now.

Little life update, a turn of events I hadn’t been planning on last week has occurred and I’m moving into a new apartment, which is bittersweet. I do not love asking for help, but I am really going to need it to cover moving costs and get a few things for the new place, so if you can, anything helps

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.
