Looking for a good recent book to read by a Canadian author (or perhaps a Christmas gift or general gift for someone else)? I suggest Look Ma, No Hands by Gabrielle Drolet. It’s also available as an audiobook. @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/r...
Review: Look Ma, No Hands is a celebration of writing and a sensitive exploration of chronic pain
Gabrielle Drolet’s memoir chronicles her journey with chronic pain as she built her career as a writer and an artist

"I got this job the way I’ve gotten most of my jobs: through an acquaintance who heard I was looking for work. This is key to success in freelancing... a roster of industry connections who know how desperate you are." I'm very late to this fun excerpt from @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social's book!

repeatedly leaning over to my date and saying “this is just like Challengers”

I finished @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social's book: Look Ma, No Hands last night and loved it. I worked at a complex chronic pain facility in Toronto in my early professional career and this really was a perfect bookend to that chapter. What a touching and funny story! Recommended!
so much of women’s health stuff is like “yeah we know this because we conducted one study sixty years ago on a single rat. and the rat was male”
I'm a trained chef, and I've taught hundreds of cooking classes. I always tell people "use what you gotta to put meals on the table." That goes double if you have any kind of physical issues! (check out the viral "garlic" article by @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social): thewalrus.ca/garlic-in-a-...
