Many solutions to the “poop problem” never materialize. While Michael MacDonald’s washroom kits aren’t a long-term solution, they were achievable, and could go a long way for those who have no home. thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

But a Kamloops man’s ‘dignity kits’ offer short-term help while those without homes wait for a long-term bathroom solution.

I can't make it make sense in the slightest.

It's wild to live in a world where "genocide is bad, actually" is a sentiment that gets people in trouble.

My brother received a package of mom's photos from me and now has my mailing address, which he has told me he plans to use. Dead named me in the message telling me that even though my name is part of the return address, great start.

In the late 70s my cousin was born at a hospital that has not started giving vitamin k shots as a standard. In a letter to my pregnant mom her sister told her to ensure I got it because her baby almost bled to death from a medical procedure and began to clot as soon as it was given.

You're welcome. I have learned so much from you and I know it's made a difference for at least one member of my family, which is wonderful because we are unbelievably lucky to be related to her.

Quick- everybody go look up "adopted" in gifs. Tell me what comes up first. This shit is happening *constantly*, it is not a one-off or just something an unlucky few experience.

Well that was disgusting and I'm going to use it the next time someone looks at me with confusion when I tell them not to use the word to describe buying a pet.

I'm glad the menace is fine and definitely understand how hard it is not to blame yourself when an animal finds their way into something they absolutely shouldn't. I hope you can treat yourself with the grace you'd treat a friend in similar circumstances.

Yeah, that post was an instant unfollow from me, it does not hurt anyone for people to mask, or for venues to accommodate masking, but it hurts everyone quietly wearing masks when people with platforms attack the practice.

The fox tattoo on my arm used to be full colour but apparently my skin just nopes out on orange/yellow/white. The problem with using living skin as an art canvas is that its job is literally to not let foreign matter into us through it and it's sometimes too good at it.

Endo isn't rare, it happens in about 10% of people born with uteruses. EDS is also less "rare" than "previously under diagnosed", as I understand it. If your question was rhetorical, apologies in advance for telling you what you already knew, but it's an important conversation!

I've had seven piercings reject or heal so badly they had to be removed. Sometimes the immune system is just having none of that particular body mod at this particular time.

I just inherited two sets of zills, which I'm pretty sure are the most portable of cymbals, if that helps.

The problem is that you can't feel fully immersed in the experience without fuzzy slippers and your hair in some sort of curlers.

Oh gosh, I'm queer and disabled, I have no choice but to know how the system can fail if you piss off the wrong person. That said I will be writing them a letter thanking them for their excellent care but suggesting a l'il bit of training re: gender identity, it's only going to get more important.

Lying back and looking at the stars and holding just the pinky of your friend/crush who you know every possible life path for while you listen to his favourite song, in a language neither of you speak, together on the only planet you've ever known? I'm so glad they found it, it hits just right .

I recently spent a couple months being benignly misgendered by hospital staff while providing company for a dying relative because I was afraid if I made a fuss her standard of care would suffer. Healthcare workers often seem oblivious to the amount of power they hold.

If anything Otis' muzzle makes him a more dangerous dog because it adds more weight to the enormous blocky head he shows his love by smashing into people.

My uncle has a really great muzzle for his big silly doofus of a pit mix, it doesn't even stop him from eating stuff like treats but it slows him down enough they can intervene if needed. I don't know why I'd mention this given that Maple is an angel but for some weird reason I still did.

My in-laws were briefly confused when my partner and I declined slices of a birthday cake for a trio of kiddos who had just covered it in spit blowing out their candles. I'll leave the germs for the folks who already share them, thanks.

That's really awful, I'm sorry to hear it's spread - especially given that it's ridiculous it wasn't caught before it did.

I mean...you had the same health problems already when you were a skinny little creature too, but that's a hard thing to convince the average doctor of.

....I may have caught this from you as of today because of course they are, why had I never realised. I immediately informed my spouse.

I might still have a Shaun of the Dead movie poster a friend managed to peel off a theatre wall for me tucked away somewhere, and that's a truly great name reference.

Evan @mxevan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I've never had a chicken friend but a number of folks I know have/do and they seem lovely, and Shaun is an excellent chicken name. I'm sorry for your loss on an already difficult day.

When the death of a parent gets followed by a string of deaths of famous people who were also part of one's childhood it can start to feel pretty surreal, not gonna lie.

It may be post concussion syndrome and if you can find a vestibular physiotherapist they might be able to help. (Talking about brain injury healing is always full of such definitive statements) I hope you can get some relief, tinnitus is so frustrating.

Alexi was recently disappointed my partner forgot to bring her McDonald's order home with his.

They are! A couple family members bought them as souvenirs and treasured them but there's no longer anyone who has memories of the trips and they've just been sitting with a bunch of photos waiting to be dealt with.

If you've got a mailing address you're comfortable messaging to a random person on the internet I can send you a pile from a family estate that would otherwise likely end up recycled.
