I need help finding a family doctor in #Edmonton for a friend.

Said friend is transfem and disabled, and it's hard for her to make physical appointments.

Therefore, she needs to be sure a meet and greet will cover those two bases with dignity and respect, before she ever sets foot in the office.

Clinics she's attempted to contact (and confirm that available doctors have at least basic proficiency on those two things) either say nothing at all, or run around her questions, saying things like "we can't give you that information until the meet and greet, in-office."

Needless to say, it's been a huge hassle.

She is NOT a student, so she can't access the university doctors.

Can anyone help? ❤️

Edit: she is willing to seek care outside the city in the surrounding communities (St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, etc.)

I'm listening to #SpeakingMunicipally while having a cup of coffee on the patio IN 21 DEGREES AND BRIGHT SUNSHINE and I just watched an ant carry a thing that was a lot bigger than the ant itself and this is pretty much exactly what Ive been waiting for for MONTHS 😭😭🎉

(Ok not the ant part, as such. But you get what I mean)

I haven't used EPL since a senior library board member took time to dismiss and misconstrue the concerns of #trans people over the library's platforming of an explicitly #transphobic presenter. 😳😡

Libraries were always a place of wonder and safety for me. That feeling evapourated instantly in the moment and no, I do NOT feel welcome at an institution with that sort of leadership. 😢

Hey #yeg folk… anyone looking for a tent trailer? We are downsizing our vehicles (and don’t camp so much anymore as our kids become adults). Got a few issues (fridge doesn’t work - we use a little bar fridge on shore power)

Great sleeping trailer, comfy, dry, off the ground. More details and photos below.
