Mom. Wife. Word nerd. Artist. Do not want covid. On Twitter because I care about the world.

Almost 20% of the hospitalized cases of C19 in Alberta right now are children. Tell me again how covid is "mild" in children?!?!?!

And yes, the the numbers are "low" by some people's standards. But how would you feel if one of these were YOUR child?!?! Every child matters.

Aloha All ~ I am in great need of your help today to secure temporary safe shelter. Two days ago, police suddenly arrived and forced me to leave my home because of a temporary restraining order based on completely false allegations by a person I don’t even know and about events that never happened. I am in complete shock. I am forbidden to return to my home until after the court hearing on October 5th, when I will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations. I am confident that when the court discovers that there is absolutely no evidence of any harm I have ever caused, the TRO will be dismissed and I will be able to return to my home. Right now, I need a SAFE, quiet place where I can sleep, eat, rest, regain my footing, and prepare for that hearing. I have found a condo near my home on Maui where I will be safe until the hearing. It is available beginning tomorrow. I need your help today. I need to secure the condo before it is taken. My goal is $3,000. If you are able to help me create this safe refuge, please contribute today through PayPal at: paypal.me/CarolAnnBarrows Any amount will help me get through the door and into safety tomorrow. If you aren’t able to contribute financially, please share this request today with someone who might be able to help me. I desperately need safe refuge. I’m asking for help creating it. Thank you for helping me have a safe place to stay until I can go home.

“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” -Jesus Christ Family, friends, healthcare workers- they will never listen to us, will they? No degrees or credentials or evidence will suffice for them to take us seriously.

So, called BC’s vaccine line to ask when Covid and Flu shots will be available in my area. And they’re closed…Phoned my local pharmacy….ANNNNDDDD…they said, “Call the BC Vaccine line”…🤦‍♀️ This is so stupid, especially with so much flu and COVID around. (data as of Sept. 13/26)

My non-masking nurse sister called me today. If anyone is looking for me, tell them I'm in therapy. Or crying. Or screaming. Or all of the above.

I’m in a mood where I have strong urges to post the sort of rant that I will almost certainly regret. But… please clap, because I’m exercising great self-control and only posting this scream instead. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I built this for an 80-year-old couple. One of them has Parkinson’s. The other is doing everything in his power to help preserve her functioning for as long as possible. So I made them something. For free. It’s a simple cognitive-motor training program built around progressively more challenging arm movements—circles, reversals, alternating patterns, bilateral coordination, interruptions, sequencing, and increasingly complicated combinations of movement + attention. This kind of cognitive-motor training has been my research world for a long time. To be very clear: I make absolutely no claim that this treats Parkinson’s, slows Parkinson’s, or will improve anyone’s functioning. I just built something I thought might be useful for two people I wanted to help. And then I thought: Why should only they get to use it? So I put it online. Free. No account. No paywall. No sales pitch. If you want to try it, be my guest. It stores zero data but if you don’t clear your browser, it’ll remember where you left off. exercisetechlab.com/arm-flow… And if you know an older adult, caregiver, therapist, researcher, or simply someone who likes giving their brain and body something interesting to figure out—send it their way. Maybe the internet can do something nice with this one. I’m meeting them in the park in 30 minutes to review some exercises. ✌️ #FuckParkinsons

Wifi back on! My daughter was thrilled to watch her educational YouTube kid vids again. She kept replaying a line in one that said "This is so much fun! Hold my hand!" So I stopped what I was doing, sat beside her, and held her hand. And it was so much fun.

My wifi has been down for 2 days. My daughter's sad that she can't watch her educational YouTube kid videos. So I got her to make rice krispie treats with me. Yes, her measurements were wildly inaccurate, but she COUNTED with me as she scooped! I'm calling it a sugary win!

Excellent 'dual practice' commentary on The National by @karenpalmeryvr and @BradenMannsYYC Very much worth watching but several key points are made. Incredibly relevant to GoA. Here are the major points. /1 piped.video/live/iGyZLsbz4h0…

FYI there was a major pain medication shortage in Canada earlier this year. Pharmacies were dispensing generic acetaminophen/Tylenol during that time. Check this information and contact your pharmacist to see if it’s safe to consume.
A lot of generic acetaminophen sold across Canada may contain phenolic resin or epoxy. Teva supplied the tablets to pharmacies in large bottles, then pharmacies dispensed them in smaller quantities. Health Canada says to stop using Novo-Gesic Forte lot 100083040 and return it to the pharmacy for replacement.

Learning how to make HOCl must include learning how to make it safely, sharing accurate information and spreading help not harm matters

Precisely something I shared with a reporter recently. In #Ontario #Canada our Minister of Education had implemented grade attendance in high school for this year onward. It is a no-win set up…and will only cause parents/caregivers to send their kids in sick more often as well.
"We don't send them, we get in trouble. We send them, they get sick." This parent perfectly sums up the horrible situation families find themselves in when schools don't take care of their indoor air quality. wdrbwave.com/2026/09/14/pare…

Even mild COVID-19 in toddlers leaves measurable changes in the brain. But this isn’t just about what MRI can detect. It’s about what parents deserve to know. Because silence helps no one @adamvojtech86. @szupraha @ZdravkoOnline @VZPtweetuje
