This amazingly brave LGBTQ+ refugee and her baby arrived in Canada today, and will need lots of financial help to get trauma treatment and settled in. Please donate!!!

This piece is our first in a series on the impacts of H5N1 on humans — especially Latine farmworkers. If you have professional expertise or hands-on knowledge about any aspect of H5N1 to share with our reporter, please email her at [info at lygianavarro dot com].

The flurry of 70 human infections over the course of 11 months, followed by an abrupt halt, makes scientists wonder how many people may have had H5N1 since February without the public being informed. Read more from @lygianavarro.com: bit.ly/45NqwF8

Friends are helping/sponsoring a trauma-survivor queer Cameroonian refugee moving to Montreal shortly with her child. She has really been through torture fleeing through numerous countries to reach Canada. PLEASE donate if you can.

Covid numbers are rising and we trying to get the word out. Here are the first two billboards so far this summer and I’ll be working to keep putting them out well into the fall. If you want to help me continue the campaign any help is appreciated. gofund.me/fc751c58

These CA tomato pickers make 86¢ per bucket. The worker runs back to try and make as many buckets as they can. Because of the hot weather they often only work 4 to 5 hours a day, so every bucket counts towards paying their bills. #WeFeedYou

Anyone in So Cal know a solar panel vendor you liked?

This is some of the most exciting observational research into post-viral illness. At the end, @virusesimmunity.bsky.social says that positive results would lead them to try to pursue trials with immunotherapies like FcRn inhibitors, B cell targeting therapies, and IVIg.

It’s not too late to start masking. You don’t have to do it alone. You won’t be the lone masker. There’s an engaged Covid cautious and disability community who will help you. There’s local mask blocs who provide respirators to those who can’t afford them. Covid is still here, and masks work!

Over 6 months, our Public Health Reporting fellows @tedalcorn.bsky.social, Jamal Jordan, @eleanorklib.bsky.social, @lygianavarro.com & Amanda Seitz explored underreported public health challenges. Watch highlights from their ambitious reporting projects: www.pressclubinstitute.org/event/public...

The amount of people chilling outside during what used to be called summer (now known as "wildfire season" in Canada) just rawdogging heavily polluted air ... not thinking about the future.

This is deeply disturbing but sadly unsurprising. The govt is trying by all means it can to access personal information about those it wants to get rid of -- including threatening and harassing a Latine educator.

#DisabilityStudies teaching job in Winnipeg for people with a PhD -- open to all applicants, it seems, but Canadian citizens and permanent residents given priority

Marginalized people are at much higher risk of #LongCovid, which is why (at least in my city), I often see BIPOC, working class folks wearing masks more often than the rest of the general public. They know firsthand the threat they face. #MaskUp, folks.

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

I'm glad to see @BuzzFeed running educational content about tick- and vector-borne illness like #lyme, but I must disagree with Dr Shapiro, who is quoted in this article, that an infected tick *has* to be on for 24-36 hrs to transmit Lyme Disease. The apple.news/A2smoGgDsQfO... 1/

PLEASE SHARE! I'm reporting on #H5N1 #BirdFlu (#AvianInfluenza #HPAI) for @thesicktimes.bsky.social, & want to talk to farmworkers or people who work with them re impacts of H5N1 on farmworkers. I'm especially interested in hearing re human cases since Feb 2025. Sources can be anonymous! (1/4)

You can support Alaa and her children here.

People of color are the majority in LA, where race deeply informs life and death. Several national publications can’t publish black or brown writers because they push out us of their newsrooms or never hire us to begin with – which is also intimately tied to what’s happening in LA and the nation.

50% of people in LA descend from Latin America. More than 50% speak a language other than English at home. 0% of them get to write in your favorite magazines. Despite hollow promises to diversify staff, magazines continue to drown out the voices of the very people you should be reading rn.

Lights automatically turned off at 5p. When daylight dimmed, people — including children who were separated from their parents — made do in darkness overnight. Agents used flashlights. This space is not to detain people on any capacity (lights turn off because no one is supposed to be there).

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

From Climate Hoax to Hate: The Overlap Between Climate Denial and White Supremacy on Spanish TikTok

This project was really well done, barring a huge omission: @propublica.org refused to use the words "disabled" or "disability." This is ridiculous given the prevalence of disability among the unhoused, and shows how poorly journalists understand disability. The fix: disabled journos in newsrooms.

Carney is asked about Canada releasing a statement threatening Israel with sanctions, which Israel has blatantly ignored. Will Canada act? Carney calls the situation "horrible" and says, in French, "we will make decisions when we make decisions." "It's not the moment today." Jesus Christ.

hey Bluesky, suffering is not spam

Checking in. Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders. Adjust your posture if you can.

@bsky.app You have an accessibility glitch in the desktop version that badly needs fixing. When I zoom in to make text larger, there's no way to access the "new post" button anymore. See pics 1 (before zooming in) and 2 (after zooming in). Please fix asap. #Accessibility

Hey there, any tips for how to get my Bluesky feed to resemble the community and conversation and debate on Twitter? I think the non-algo here makes it so that I just get post after post, but there's no cohesion, so no conversation. Thanks for any insight.

If you're disabled or care about disabled people, please DO NOT read the NYT magazine's piece on medical assistance in dying in Canada. There's NO mention of eugenics, or Aktion T4. Nor that mental health care isn't free or accessible in most of Canada. Nor that UN criticizes Canada for MAID.

@tps.ca Today just before 6pm, a Toronto Police officer almost ran over me (in my wheelchair) and my child. The light was green for me, red for the police car. The officer sped up approaching me. Wheelchairs have limited maximum speeds; I absolutely couldn't go any faster to rush out of the way. 1/2
