A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

Editing is like looking at an imperfectly frosted cake, grabbing an icing spatula, and smoothing out the edges. Also, moving some of the decorations around so they really pop. Add some powdered sugar for a lovely final touch. Step back. Voila. A masterpiece.

Trigger warning: COVID death.
Hi Jane. This is Dr. Bakshi calling from Edmonton. I am not sure if you're aware, but your mom Anne was admitted to the COVID ward about 2 hours ago. I'm calling because she is not doing well, and will likely not survive the day."

820 new cases of #COVID19 in B.C., as the province continues to see some signs of a temporary plateau, but uncertainty whether we can reduce transmission.
Big jump in hospitalizations to 281, and tragically nine new deaths, most in one day since February 25.

In response to the #opioidcrisis, Dr. Bonnie Henry issued a public health order making B.C. the first province in Canada to allow nurses prescribe life-saving #opioidagonist treatments like Suboxone. Jessica Martens was the first @PHSAofBC nurse to do so. ow.ly/Fjqs50FQAKP

What if, instead of putting shoes at the art gallery, the children's shoes are put at the stairs of the Catholic, Anglican, and United Churches?

I have no energy to extend to your requests for ways to teach to events unfolding in Kamloops. Your requests are triggering—I am living, grieving this horrific atrocity in my spirit, as most Indigenous Peoples are right now. This knowledge is too heavy. And we need you to stop.
