The autistic interest in wearing sunglasses indoors and out, day and night… …give me your arguments for and/or against whether I should embrace this improvement to my daily existence.

Hey @ipaccanada.bsky.social, are you done Unmasking the Future yet? Or do you plan on dithering for a while longer before pretending you knew all along and giving yourselves more awards? I realize it's embarrassing to admit you screwed up, but it's only going to get worse the more you delay.

7 days to go- a new film, a project close to our hearts, in collaboration with #CombinationDance Together, we’re giving young people with #LongCovid the voices & visibility they deserve. Because no child should be left behind. 🙏 @bendybrain.bsky.social @sedsconnective.org #Dancers #LongCovidKids

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

👆👇 It's been 2 yrs & 8 months now that the public needed 2 be made aware of this info We need those w/ the powers 2 get this info out everywhere, now We can't move forward & escape fascism w/out facts & truth Build the trust back If they won't, Who are they working for? bsky.app/profile/hall...

Ah yes... that warm and silent stillness which precedes (and provokes) the development of a new and completely unreasonable hyper-focus... I acknowledge you as the foretoken of my inevitable, self induced burn out.

It’s not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe that what we are seeing in Gaza is not a genocide. It’s not okay to be a grown adult with internet access in August 2025 and still believe this mass atrocity is about self-defense.

Interesting that Mr. Huras did not speak with Dawson to remind him that Canada does not have freedom of speech or of worship. That hate speech is illegal in Canada and ask for clarification on why he is quoting American rights and not Canadian as a MP. Printing exerts from a letter seems lazy

Blaming the victims of genocide for “starting it” by breaking out of a concentration camp is not a centrist position

I think it’s fun that I got to spend a bunch of my life being like “hey please don’t give me this virus. It’s really not just a cold” and everyone else just got to laugh at me about it and get me sick and now I’m sick forever.

Hi all. It’s tremendously important that between now and Aug 19 (deadline) that you provide public comment to CSA on the newest revisions to Z94.4: selection, use, and care of respirators. For the first time ever it includes healthcare. Must make CSA account. publicreview.csa.ca/Home/Details...

Jason Stanley, philosopher and expert on fascism said “You know you're living in a fascist society when you're constantly going over in your head the reasons why YOU are safe.”

For Canadians who want Novavax: the Canadian COVID Society has an open letter requesting expedited access to Novavax in Canada. covidsociety.ca/news/letter-...

The takeaway is not that electoral politics will fix everything. We know it won’t. Obviously. The takeaway is that people will show up if you give them hope & a way forward. And that, my friends, can & must look like a lot of things right now.

Canadian Long COVID folks! Long COVID Web have launched a new study on improving access to virtual healthcare for long haulers. Any self-identified Long COVID patient based in Canada that is 16 years or older can fill out their self-paced survey here by July 1: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/2ZW2NHV

Private health clinics in Canada are selling patient information: study www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic... @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social

In our latest, we survey the early months of the second Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, its attacks on Medicaid and Social Security, and why it is that health is such a particular target of the administration this time around www.patreon.com/posts/128800...

Fact check on “Canada’s biggest industry”: oil and gas contributes ~3% to Canada’s GDP. Does the word “biggest” have another meaning that I’m not aware of? “Loudest” may be more accurate. www.capp.ca/en/our-prior...

Please join us on June 7th to celebrate clean air day and the launch of our air filter lending library. Masks are (super) strongly recommended and provided. (organized by the NB Mask Bloc) *reposting with alt text

On my way back from the national public health conference. Not many people at all are talking about clean air to breathe (especially indoors). Only people I saw mention ASHRAE 241 were people I was with. Public health should be LOUD about IAQ.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

🧵In March I wrote about how Trump's attacks on science & universities followed the authoritarian playbook & set out Qs as warning signs for escalation. 🚨 THESE ARE NOW HAPPENING This 🧵is on how those warning sign Qs have been realised full post: christinapagel.substack.com/p/warning-si... 1/15

🙌 Great news in New Scientist. An experimental study shows that air filters in classrooms: Reduced absence by: 👩‍🏫 12.5% or 1.3 days per pupil Reduced PM2.5 by: 🚸 32% Air filtration is a simple way to improve life for everyone. So what's stopping the government?!

Air filters in classrooms reduce sick days by more than 10% "Putting air filters in classrooms seems to boost student attendance, which may be due to them reducing levels of air pollution, pollen, pathogens or all three." Source: archive.md/fJMuT

It needs to be said and said and said. The CPC lost. But they have 41% of the vote. Their highest vote share since 1988 Mulroney. 8% higher than 21. Canada did not reject Poilievre's message. Carney just successfully rallied the left vote enough to win. He has a lot of work to do.

Right on cue, I see "Rigged" is trending on X.

My exhaustion mantra. Where I can’t create inspiration I’ll create gratitude for what I’m blessed to witness. Where I can’t create words I’ll create space to listen to voices that need acknowledging and connection. Where I can’t create peace I’ll be disciplined in my hope for others to find it.

Today, Canadians vote not just for leadership, but to defend democratic resilience against the tides of authoritarian influence and external destabilization. The stakes extend far beyond national borders — sovereignty and integrity are on the ballot.

Good news: we're hearing Bonnie Henry will not be replacing Theresa Tam as Chief Medical Health Officer of Canada It's unknown if the hiring committee came to this judgment on its own or if the public agitation helped, but either way, good work. We don't need any more science denial.

From #Project2025 🇨🇦 edition, to “America First/Canada First” fascism, there’s no daylight between Trump fascism & Poilievre’s fascism. Using “antisemitism” as cover to suspend civil liberties, while also labeling Jews who oppose Netanyahu as somehow “antisemitic”. H/t @lalegault.bsky.social

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

You’re reminiscing about the eighties…what song or album is playing in the background? (it’s still playing in the background)

Good heavens! I'd almost forgotten! My, doesn't it seem to come around sooner every year!

Happy Thatcher is Dead day to those who celebrate. A reminder that some of us may live to see better times.

Please, spread this information far and wide. Bring it to your meetings, your chats.

When you realize you now need to work until you’re dead you want being dead to happen as quickly as possible

🧵1/ Since July 2021, there’s indisputable proof 🇨🇦 PH & gov’t officials were receiving evidence that children were suffering from post Covid-19 conditions incl prolonged fatigue, headaches & joint pain to serious cardiac issues, cognitive impairment & potential liver damage. #LongCovid #CanadaSky

13/ And all these PCC reports were just portion of what was revealed in PopNB's RTI work. Just imagine learning all this & being in a position of power to protect/inform & doing nothing instead. While watching countless lives- incl kids- forever altered, disabled & lost. bsky.app/profile/hall...

“After five years of managing the mood of an overwhelmed public, by deploying various iterations of “don’t panic” and “you don’t have to worry, only those other people, who aren’t like you, do,” and finally, ‘it’s over, get back to work,” the record is skipping”

Once you understand that liberalism is an ideology based around feeling that you are intellectually and morally superior for everyone, you can see why liberals hate leftists (because they're right) and love conservatives (because they're an easy enemy to rail against)

You can now borrow PC-fan air purifiers in Halifax! Clean Air Library HRM is a collaboration between @mask4mask_queers_hfx and PoPNS that lends free air purifiers to community members hosting events.
