Heylo I’m new to Mastodon. I really like the idea of the fediverse as a way to assert our digital sovereignty 🇨🇦, so I joined Mastodon thought I’d try it out.

I’ve lived in Winnipeg MB for a bit now, and while I don’t dislike the Jets I must admit that my heart is with the Oilers.

If anyone knows some good people to follow to get an indepth analysis of any given nerdy subject, then please let me know. Those people would be fun to follow.

#LongCovid #mecfs

My Long Covid specialist suggests vitamin B12 injections to alleviate my Long Covid symptoms (mainly very low stamina, impaired brain functions/ brain fog, PEM and POTS).

Does anyone have experience with vitamin B12 and Long Covid?

I'm happy to give it a try as it comes with very little risk (says my LC specialist), but it would be good to hear takes from other #pwLC (people with Long Covid).

Thanks!

No moral person should be setting foot in the US

Why would anyone want to reward Trump’s twisted vision of America

Super excited about this...

I'm hiring a video editor to help bring economics to a mass audience (yes, really). If you're thoughtful, creative, and want to make complex ideas accessible, I'd love to see your work.

And if you've got mates who would be a great fit, please share this with them!
So, I'll try to introduce myself in a little more detail. I'm not too good at these things.
I love to read. I enjoy many different genres of fiction. One of my favourite authors is John Irving and I've devoured all his books several times already. I also read a lot of sci fi, recently discovered Neal Shusterman's work which I'm exploring right now and am always after book recommendations. I listen to audiobooks but also read a lot of #Braille - I'm very passionate about Braille literacy.
I'm a dog person and I had a wonderful guide dog since June of last year. He was a black lab and was 13 1/2 years old when he passed away. Right now I have a Taylor-shaped hole in my heart and am without any pets.
I'm an ESL (English as a second language) teacher and work with adults. Since I'm totally #blind myself, I started focusing on English lessons for the blind two years ago and have been doing it ever since. It's something I really enjoy and I feel like I've found a meaningful and fulfilling profession.
I'm a leftist, definitely pro-choice and I'm not religious. I'm passionate about #accessibility and #disability rights.

Our Minister of AI meeting with Israel's Ambassador to Canada as part of "ongoing engagement on technology & AI".
By "ongoing engagement", I'm guessing you mean Stephen Harper's company Awz $1.6B investment in a chip plant in Israel in November, alongside all the other facial-recognition and surveillance apps Awz has developed for use against Palestinians and Gazans. #freepalestine
