Clean air for kids & staff in schools & daycares shouldn’t be controversial No IAQ policy at any level of govt ensuring indoor air is clean & safe to breathe atm Petition to Toronto Board of Health to direct TO Public Health to adopt Health🇨🇦's new IAQ Guidance preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1297...

Thank you for sharing this article. This resonates with me, very much, “We all share the air. If I’m my brother’s keeper, I have a responsibility toward others to keep them safe as well.” Even as others don’t seem to care, I do and I will continue to care and mask…for me and others.

Does masking prevent someone from living life? open.substack.com/pub/livingwi...

No! The thing that makes living life difficult is political opposition to Clean Indoor Pubic Air! Why anyone would be opposed to that is beyond me, but the BC NDP demonstrably is.

Absolutely not! It enables me to work, pay my bills & care for others. The pandemic has taught me what is important in life and what I can change.

As someone who is immune compromised, the current 'trend' of non-masking anti-vaxxers (who invariably still go out and about when they feel sick) is more than a little worrying.

We don't mask because we live in fear. We do it because we stay informed about what's going on and how to navigate this changed reality in a new way. Information is power. (Image shows two young people in T-shirts and ball caps, both wearing N95 masks or similar.) #COVID #MECFS #maskup #pandemic

@brownecfm.bsky.social is a gem. @theresisters.bsky.social has been grateful for Conor’s support of our interviews & the times he came to speak with us. We’ll be pursuing him for our “No Ostriching Here.” podcast, as well. (So, watch our, Conor, we’re coming for ya’!) @coopspeak.bsky.social

Where are those irresponsible pundits that kept saying long C19 wasn’t a thing in India and Africa etc? www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

It’s not a refusal to re-enter society. It’s not shaping your life around Covid avoidance. It’s adaptation. It’s a desire to protect health. It’s being willing to accept that things change, and masking & clean air are the way forward. Mass death & disability is not normal

So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other. Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

Christmas denial story: 1. Pretend what they're spreading is harmless "not COVID". 2. Pretend massive, widespread immune system destruction caused by COVID isn't real: Flu is just "super" this year, and "there are extra viruses", magically. www.the-express.com/news/health/...

It's high time for all hospitals, daycares, public schools and long term care facilities to be taking airborne precautions 24/7 from now until .... well ... forever. Because so many of the nasties out there, are either predominantly airborne or have an airborne component.

If you’re in a chronic illness flare, remember that it’s not your fault. Flare ups happen. They can be unpredictable. They can be overwhelming. They can hit us even when we do everything “right”. Give yourself grace. Allow time to rest and recover. Let go of the blame.

Because of course they did. Alberta quietly ends public reporting of COVID outbreaks in acute care www.lakelandtoday.ca/beyond-local...

Alberta is headed by a hate-filled, vicious government, and its time more people and organizations fought back.

As an author, I’ve already gotten multiple emails from people asking me for fake articles and books that I’ve supposedly written, because chatbots have told them fake references. I *cannot imagine* the frustration and time waste for librarians and especially ILL library professionals right now.

excellent piece explaining plainly how the council for national policy viewed covid as a "long-term threat to the conservative political project." thus the premature Return To Normal™️ we're still suffering thru; the way my lupus med, HCQ, was a catalyst (not mentioned: at autoimmune folks expense).

Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

We're having one in the UK too. Strange that.
