Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus! We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them. Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest" US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

I know two people who got long covid from infections during doctor appointments where they couldn't easily mask (an MRI and an ENT exam). this is a very real risk. And before anyone says anything - yes, there are MRI-safe respirators, most people don't know about them or have access to them.

"Australian researchers unlocking secrets of COVID-19 may have landed on new ways to reduce organ injury from heart attacks and stroke" SARS-CoV-2 can damage endothelial cells, disrupting blood flow and oxygen delivery. This microvascular injury drives organ damage and Long COVID. archive.li/AMBdJ

+ The way "hostages" is applied to Israelis hostages but not to Palestinians when the same articles admit "vast majority of Palestinian prisoners were held without charge" which reads to me like they were hostages, too.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

A single Vancouver police officer made $397,258 last year, making $239,258 in overtime on top of their base pay of up to $158,000. This is the wildest FOI I've seen in a long time. Well done Liam Britten for digging this up. #CBC www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hello from New York. Today, we’ll hear from John Schneider, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Andrés Giménez on the podium. #BlueJays

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

Seeing multiple reports about people coming down with Covid after Fantastic Fest. Most of those people will recover okay! Statistically, however, some will get Long Covid and watch their life flip upside down. Going to a fun event shouldn’t include this risk. We HAVE to adapt to, not ignore, Covid.

Violet Affleck is to the Covid movement what Greta Thunberg is to climate. Both represent the next generation, are articulate, focused, & grounded in science. That scares people. And there's a gendered aspect to all the vitriol they face

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

It's no different in 🇨🇦 Canada, where #LongCOVID continues to be stigmatized in silence by governments unwilling to warn the public of risk, & who don't want to give up the increasingly weak fiction that the pandemic is over. It very much isn't -

I asked the professor how her semester is going so far and she replied that so far she has two kinds of students: those who have tested positive for Covid, and those who swear they just have a weird cold.

I dunno why but this one broke me. www.thedailybeast.com/jamie-lee-cu...

“He was a man of faith.” Remind me what the Bible has to say about pregnant immigrants. Because here’s what Charlie said:

Broad access to vaccines of all sorts is in jeopardy, former CDC director Rochelle Walensky warns in an Op Ed in @statnews.com. www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/r...

Oh, what’s that?? The - checks notes - AIRLINES are furious about a covid outbreak, are they??? Cry me a river. Airlines demanding removal and reduction of protections are a big reason why the world is still in this f’ing mess.

Canadian COVID Forecast Aug 30 - Sep 12 2025 ONTARIO High [No change] About 1 in 74 people in ON are CURRENTLY infected. Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada: -Infections ~6.8 higher -Long COVID ~7.8 higher -Hospitalizations ~9.6 higher -Deaths ~9.9 higher

If anyone wants to hear me yak about what's wrong with Canada's information ecosystem, this exists

And you were made to think this was acceptable because of political election cycles, not because any of it was the correct response to Covid-19 SARS-COV-2.

We’re really going to do this again? Oh yeah—too bad we went into denial with COVID and memory-holed anything usual that might’ve helped us with future pathogens. Unbelievable. “This is highlighting to me that we really need to work harder to get this entire outbreak under control…” #birdflu

‚Why are you so invested in the idea that the mind must be influencing ME, when the biology is pointing elsewhere?‘ Great question! Brilliant guide, excellent points 👏 #ME

In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote a gorgeous, prescient essay called “The Pandemic is a Portal”. In this piece, I discuss who actually walked through it: the COVID conscious community, and why I’m proud to be a part of it. www.thegauntlet.news/p/the-pandem...

One point of solidarity is that every deserves to survive and thrive out from under the weight of oppression. Another is that when someone is exhausted and depleted and spent and drowning, you and others can carry the weight for a while, and when you are, they can carry you. That's the goal.

I’m going to be very honest and clear. I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

I’m 44 and have metastatic cancer. I know I won’t be living as long as I would have assumed just a few years ago, but by dismantling medical research and gutting healthcare, this regime has purposely reduced how long, and how well, I will live.

As always, the voice of gentle reason and focus:

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

sometimes I wish my ability to accurately predict things applied to stuff like stocks

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

“Based on the data, it is clear that Babesia-positive and Anaplasma-positive ticks are also emerging in addition to Lyme disease-positive ticks,” said Saravanan Thangamani, PhD. @sunyofficial.bsky.social Tick Season Expected to Be the Worst Yet, Says Upstate Expert www.newswise.com/articles/tic...

You do not have to keep getting sick, and you definitely cannot keep being a vector that sickens, disables, and kills others. It is anti-progressive, anti-humanist behavior to keep ignoring a disease that, as you all say, isn’t going anywhere. It’s time to adapt. Or…well, you know the rest.

If you’re going to give me guff re: masks, I challenge you to go to the LC board on Reddit, and spend ten minutes reading posts. Read the suicidal posts, the desperate searches for medical treatment, the despair. Then decide if you really want to join us. www.reddit.com/r/covidlongh...

So ok, here’s the deal. We’ve been skating on the fact that we had a massive summer wave last year, one of the biggest we’ve *ever* had. Since then, no new strain really took over, so people who got sick last year have been coasting on limited immunity to that strain. That’s about to change.

We explained that a large function of policing has been to create violence and exploitation in Black communities and the collective leadership of institutions throughout the US said “that’s absolutely vital to our ability to function.”

That's how the world should be ❤️

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Hey @bluejays.com it’s a beautiful day to re open the roof! Better for air quality and everyone’s well being! It was open during practice- give it a try! 😃

This woman's story is pretty remarkable. "Ali France, the Labor candidate who is the first person to unseat an opposition leader at an election, is a disability advocate, former journalist and world champion para-athlete. France lost her eldest son, Henry, to leukaemia last year."
