I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

what is the fucking point of it

😣 Oof. Hard to take the Oilers' first round exit last night.🏒 What will I do tomorrow? And all spring?? #yeg #edmonton #oilers #nhl

I have the utmost respect for anyone who has made it through 6 years of wearing a respirator and pushing against the flow.

Fun Friday news, spotted another masked 😷 Londoner on train home🚄. #maskup #itsairborne

I've decided that astronaut life is not for me, but I defo want to be part of ground control👩‍💻🚀

Thx to whoever suggested tuning into NASA's live feed. I've been absorbed for hours. Truly great stuff🌑 www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxB...

Respie selfie du jour! Happy Friday all! #maskup #itsairborne #cleanairnow

Time to bring #yallmasking back? 🙋‍♀️

Made it to Friday but at what cost

The fleet in Edmonton has a "Connor Mc-Blade-It" and "Ctrl-Salt-Delete" (my personal favourite).

Great 🧵! I say this all the time. Even if the Covid cautious among us are wrong about the dangers of COVID-19, cleaning the air can only be a good thing (for the reasons @kprather.bsky.social explains)👇 #cleanairnow

If you're interested in learning more about Iran in the 20th century, and US - Iranian relations, I highly recommend this excellent episode of CBC's Front Burner www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

🔊 on!

Does Malinin's spoken word soup song remind anyone else of Ricken from Severence? "The you you are... is not nothing" "Bullies are nothing but bull and lies" ⛸️ #malinin #winterolympics #figureskating #severence

Certain my forte is long track speed skating🥇 (And diving in the summer).

Another 20 reasons to #maskup (even if you're not worried about #covid19⤵️ MANY illnesses are #airborne 🌬️

“The take-home message from this study is clear: long COVID is here to stay, even in children, & can be exacerbated by reinfections and sustained by high viral circulation. …Without decisive action, the long-term societal cost of long COVID will continue to rise.” www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I often point out the MANY benefits of masking / cleaning the air / ventilation - even if one isnt worried about #covid19 (lessening allergen & pollutant exposure, helping cognitive performance, etc.) Here's another one⤵️ from my alma mater #maskup #itsairborne www.ualberta.ca/en/folio/202...

The faith in shady supplements has always baffled me. @joffirphd.bsky.social explains the appeal in this excellent 🧵⤵️

Are you a #covidcautious classroom?

Sending love to #bluejays fans💕 Signed, #Oilers Fan Who Knows the Feeling (x 2)! (Or even x 3! I'm old enough to remember 2006 too😓)

Update: I've found one for £90 in Penge (London, SE20). Probably not possible to get one much cheaper, as all that is available in UK this yr is #Pfizer (and it runs more expensive than #Novavax did). #covid19vaccine #covidbooster

Just come back from getting my autumn #covid19vaccine. Almost no one in UK qualifies to get them free on the NHS so I've had to pay out of pocket (again!) Getting 1 jab every 6 mos. means I've paid a whopping £185 pounds out of pocket in 2025 (that's $346CAD) /1

Anyone know if it's possible to get a #covid19vaccine (in south or central London) for under £100? #covid19 #itsairborne #maskup

Hello to my worldly and attractive followers (flattery✔️) Would you be so kind as to share some podcasts you've loved with me? (polite ask✔️) This is the 3rd time I've asked & sharing is caring, etc. (gentle guilt trip✔️) #podcasts #saltingthevibes #cleanairnow

Always loved this line 🐙🐙🐙 (And, as everything's on fire, would REALLY love to be under the sea these days)

Newsworthy!📰

Ooh, these are good ones (esp. duvet). I got: *the smell of rain *waking up and remembering it's Saturday *getting front row seat on top of a London double decker *the crunch/crack of a sourdough crust *making fresh tracks in snow

What are your fall public health questions as we get back to work, school and temperatures get cooler? I’m preparing for a session to answer them soon!

Oh boy this is bleak🫣... (I just started watching (and loving) #severence - but think our real, outtie, lives may be even bleaker)

"Want a #covid19 vaccine AB? Well, you can head to BC!" 🙄So utterly ridiculous www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wow. 4-6 reinfections PER YEAR! "There is [an] under-researched, group... of ppl who get 4 to 6 reinfections each year, & may have to take days off... each time. “It’s non-trivial and makes it quite hard to do your work" #covidsnotover #maskup #itsairborne www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Another reason for London to #maskup ⤵️ BBC News - High pollution warning issued for London by City Hall - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

34° C in London today and the trusty N95 is doing triple duty.💪🏼 Protecting me from: 1 #Covid19 (like always) 2 PM2.5 (air quality is crap in the city today) 3 UV rays (full coverage respirator covers most of my face😎😷) #maskup #yallmasking #cleanairnow

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer: "Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What an excellent initiative!😷

Free masks in Halifax 🇨🇦!!!

I’m trying to figure out how #COVID and #LongCovid can affect women's periods (by disrupting brain circuitry involving the hypothalamus) for a big project. Do you or anyone you know have had disruptive changes in the menstrual cycles after getting COVID or any of the symptoms below?

I've always wondered why you don't hear more stories of pro athletes with #longcovid Here's one👇🏼 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Big personal milestone #CovidCautious fam! After 2.5+ years, I headed out to join my old running group tonight 🥳‼️ I had been a regular runner for 10 yrs, but - after my last Covid infection (my 2nd) in October 2022 - I just could not tolerate it anymore. The most minor attempt caused issues /1

Quarterly change of the #hepa filter (so satisfying 🤗). #indoorair #cleanairnow

You can't live in fear..

Always such a great guy and a great ambassador for our city! Refuse to accept it's been almost 20yrs since Georges was on the team & they had that '06 Cinderella run... #letsgooilers

Whoo boy! The rematch! So exciting! Who will talk hockey with me in London? Last yrI had no one! (I tried striking up a convo with my pilates instructor (from Florida) but she 1. Didnt know Florida had a hockey team & 2. Didnt believe a team from Florida could play the sport well🤷🏼‍♀️ #Letsgooilers

THE EDMONTON OILERS HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL 🏆

New #mask hack? lve always wondered how to best disinfect a respirator to prolong it's life and to avoid mascne 😷. I've recently been into all things cosmetic dermatology, and gone down many a rabbit hole (a post for another day). Anyway... /2 #covidisairborne

#Masked crusader heading out to (outdoor) afternoon tea! #maskup #covidcautious

"The #mask doesn’t hide me. It reveals me.... I’m someone who values health. Who shows up for others by protecting myself. Who reads the science and adapts." Finally read this great piece by @drseanmullen.bsky.social. Writing like this does 2 things...../1 whn.global/stuck-in-the...
