This scumbag is my CPC MP. He literally hid from voters during the federal election campaign (there was even a chase in Hyde Creek as he ran away) and didn’t attend a single public event or debate. Racist, bigot, conspiracy theorist, stolen honour. Now also a huge hypocrite.

So I’m clear 3 countries, all whose government’s are propped up by religious fervor & impotent rage, are converging on each other with Putin stirring But the End Times are coming because I’m sharing a bathroom with someone whose mom accidentally named her Steve at birth. Have I got that right?

Dr. Jen Gunter nails it, calling out Bari Weiss et al for this garbage. A great critique of “just asking questions” as a propaganda strategy open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Are older adults really “tech-reluctant,” or is that just a stereotype? 🤔📱 Focus groups by @nicoledalmer.bsky.social, Stephen Katz, @socbarb.bsky.social & Kirsten L. Ellison show that older adults are capable, creative, and tech-savvy on their own terms.💡 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

If you haven’t yet discovered Falastin, Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley’s love letter to Palestinian food and culture, please do. My favorite cookbook of the last couple of years. 💔

NEW podcast episode on ☎️ @wrinkleradio.bsky.social📱what does it mean to age in a digital world? Professor Kim Sawchuk challenges the assumption that older adults are hesitant users of digital technology. Available at podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w... and wherever you listen to podcasts.

Let me be clear. This claim from RFK Jr. is flat-out false. Scotland just reported finding no cervical cancer cases in vaccinated women -- zero, zilch, zip. This man's advice has been hurting people for years, but this lie will especially harm women. publichealthscotland.scot/news/2024/ja...
