Me: I'm here to get an Rx renewal Doc: (actually looking at my chart) Do you have a family doctor? Me: Yep. Dr. Doctor, at this clinic. Doc: Great. And you're getting your regular screenings and physicals? Me: The breast cancer screening program is great! I get a mammogram every two years! 1/3

Okay, so I've called the women's health clinic to ask if I can book my PAP test through them. I could also call up my OB/GYN, I guess, but it's a waste of provincial funds to see a specialist for something a family doctor should be qualified to do (even the ones terrified of vaginas).
Let me tell you about advance cancer screening in Saskatchewan. Please call your MLA and thank them for the hard work they do in cancer prevention. I have been waiting for more than four years for a fucking Pap test.
Sorta like how embracing technological change in industry in general ruined the environment and created and sustained massive gaps in equity. It may be inevitable, but that doesn't mean close your eyes and think of England.
Paul Dechene@pauldechene.bsky.social · 2w agoThe people saying we have to embrace AI b/c like all technological change it's inevitable & "don't worry, it'll be fine" except these are the same jagoffs who corporatized the internet & it hasn't been fine. In fact, they made it all very shitty.
Not many people know this, but in Southern Saskatchewan you can find commercial marshmallow farms. the marshmallows are then sent to refineries where they’re processed and packaged for sale. Thank a mallow farmer next time you’re around a campfire having s’mores!
Hey, Winnipeg, you’ve been grand! Got some hardware out on the Red. we’ll be back next year!
Winnipegians! If you’re about tomorrow, come down to Don Gerrie(?) park to cheer on your dragon boat teams! Then come say hi! I’ll be the one in the boat!
Buddy, if we’re going to rename the fucking lakes we’re going to return to them their original names.
You can tell the weather’s changing because I’m back to two baths a day. This number generally stays at two until April, although sometimes we do more. We do not count the times we partially drain the tub and add more hot water.
I...don't think I want to use a mobile phone anymore.
Me: No, I don't get hangry. I don't even really know what that is. Also me: YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO EAT A BAG OF JERKY FOR LUNCH WHEN WE COULD HAVE LITERALLY STOPPED AT ANY DINKWATER TOWN ON THIS WHOLE DRIVE JUST TO GET AN ACTUAL LUNCH REGARDLESS OF HOW SHITTY IT WAS.
(No, I don't think I'm "back-back"; I reactivated things to do the Never Alone fundraiser this weekend. I love you very much - never think I don't! I've just been focused on re-learning how to engage with live humans, and re-learning the world is a pretty fucking amazing place.
I *already* boycott American companies, but when they legit just double the US price for the CDN price, it makes my decision so much easier.
Buddy, I get that wherever it was you learned to drive (likely not on a farm), they didn't teach you that "if the water level in an underpass is nearly level with the streets on either side, DO NOT ENTER THE OVERPASS" but for the love of little baby Jesus dancing on a crüller, COMMON SENSE SAYS STOP
I’ve decided to name all the dolts who try to drive through flooded underpasses the “Regina Regatta Team.
All y’all have helped me get halfway to my fundraising goal for the Never Alone Cancer Foundation (the charity donee working with the Winnipeg Dragon Boat Festival). I will be paddling with the Prairie Dragon Riders Next Sunday! Come watch! nacf.akaraisin.com/ui/Septdrago...

I get UNREASONABLY grumpy whenever I see someone using K instead of C to try to horn in on alliteration. No, Kylie, "Kylie's Kreations" is not a good business name. 1) It contains a spelling error; 2) What the fuck are you even selling; 3) Twee is not good business; 4) Just. No.
The thing about living in one’s early middles is that one cannot wear one’s glasses when applying eye cream and the eye cream comes in a tube remarkably similar to vaginal oestrogen cream.
Hey charities. I am NEVER going to donate to any of you who use fucking AI cold calling. I just got off the phone with a very convincing AI agent. Want money from me? Employ the people you claim to be helping.
WOW has Apple enshittified itself lately. Not only do I loathe the stupid “Liquid Glass” display “feature” with the burning rage of a thousand angry suns, THEY GOT RID OF LAUNCHPAD and went to a Windows-like app browser and I fucking hate it. YOU DON’T NEED TO CHANGE A GOOD DESIGN.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say people have the right to own ammunition I say ban all the bullets end of story………
