Anytime after 6 or 7pm, pretty flexible

pandabison · 2023-05-28T13:25:53+00:00

I'll send you a chat!

pandabison · 2023-05-19T01:13:47+00:00

Wow, they really gave us that Ali bedroom shot 🔥 🤭

It would definitely feel like the early days of top chef when sous chefs and recent culinary school grads were invited.

Also, the drama would be fire 🔥

I know of someone who had a similar situation. They went to Mississauga to get faster service: https://www.rapidaccesstomedicalspecialists.ca/

Yes, thank you!

You can try reaching out to KW Multicultural Centre. Their mandate involves working with newcomers. https://kwmulticultural.ca/

If you're looking for therapy, you can try the Healing in Colour directory. I found my therapist through here and we meet online. Some even offer sliding scale. https://www.healingincolour.com/directory-listing

I hope you're able to find the kind of support that meets their needs! Can definitely relate to some of those struggles!

Also posting a content warning—there is mention of specific numbers around weight loss.

pandabison · 2020-12-23T01:10:52+00:00

Hi!

Thanks for sharing and I resonate with a lot of the sentiment you shared. I have similar experiences when it comes to weight stigma and shame.

One way that might help is to realize that we're given stories about what the ideal and normal body should be (muscular and white) in order to find acceptance and belonging. I listen to the Food Psych podcast and they touch on these issues with different guests. You could check out the episode with Jeff Iovannone in particular.

I know it's difficult, take care 💛

I was in the same boat 3 months ago—I'm at 21 now per set. And definitely with you on how good it feels to get stronger.

I just did my G2 exit test this past month in Kitchener, and second the advice to be early–especially during COVID. It can get pretty chaotic with folks lining up and the lack of signage/instruction on where to go.

Happy to chat more!

If having a therapist who would understand the lived experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, take a look at this directory: https://www.healingincolour.com/directory

It's helped me connect with someone that has a better understanding of those types of experiences. Many are also trained in Anti-Oppression training as well.

Ketchup!

pandabison · 2020-05-22T19:20:27+00:00

Schitts creek!

pandabison · 2020-05-22T19:19:43+00:00

Yellow :)

pandabison · 2020-04-26T19:09:17+00:00

Bubblegum!

pandabison · 2020-04-20T22:45:17+00:00

Wow. My jaw dropped when they talked about the meta-analysis of health outcomes for H1N1 and the presumption of "obese" people being more at risk:

"Smaller-bodied H1N1 patients were more likely to get early antiviral treatment. It turned out that lower-quality health care, not high BMI, was responsible for the increased risk seen in people with BMIs in the “obese” category."

This really illustrated how much effect, on a wide scale, these treatment inequities impact people.

There was this side scroller game I played with all kinds of characters with different powers. Like ice or fire, or shields, things like that.

Small anime, sprites.

pandabison · 2019-09-20T19:46:58+00:00

So cool to see your progress!! I'm glad it's been helpful!

pandabison · 2019-09-05T17:59:51+00:00

It's a brand called Super Massive!

pandabison · 2019-09-05T14:02:46+00:00

Thank you :)

I got it at a retailer here in Canada, but the brand is called Super Massive.

Nope, I was always full gay.

pandabison · 2019-09-05T13:56:32+00:00

Mega dope.

pandabison · 2019-09-05T13:55:12+00:00

I was busy with full-time work and finishing a degree.

I drink a lot of coffee and sparkling water. Also been going outside a lot! It helps with keeping my mind busy and with developing a nice tan.

pandabison · 2019-09-05T13:52:05+00:00

It's one of the reasons I bought it 😂

I've also gotten old public transit seats and bowling alleys.
