This is great! I have been trying to figure out how to get these from Europe!

We have policies/laws/regulations to ensure that our food and water are clean and safe. Why not for air, too? Typical amounts taken in per day: food = 4 lb water = 3 lb air = 30 lb

Lots of people heading to school tomorrow here in Canada… 1 in 65 has COVID. Mask, open windows, clean the air.

The most important part of this article, to me, is the end. It challenges a false binary between “long COVID” and “everyone else.” Maybe it's a spectrum... 🧵 (1/5) www.bmj.com/content/390/...

Airborne aware folk, please ‘bump’ the crap out of this today ⤵️

“Children and adolescents spend up to half of their waking hours in school, where indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Poor IAQ has been linked to increased illness, asthma attacks, absenteeism and even decreased academic performance.” www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

Think back to the times in your life when you were at your lowest. Anxious? Lonely? Depressed? Now think how just one person made a difference. It may be something very meaningful or something that seemed inconsequential at the time. Acts of kindness can be life altering; be kind

We’re being trained to only notice extremes. Outrage or comfort. Villain or hero. Horror or hope. But most harm doesn’t look like that. It lives in the middle. Quiet, familiar, easy to excuse. This essay is about what we’re missing… and what it’s costing us. shorturl.at/TPZFX #Scotland #Writing

Ontario folks, please share widely. There's a window of time that matters here, potentially for the life of this person.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

There are very few places that we crowd people together in poor air quality like we do to kids in schools for 194 days/yr. It's time to clean the air & provide safe learning conditions for kids. We could change everything for families who deal with so much illness. And, of course, kids are worth it.

Share widely, please.

The American Medical Association’s journal of Pediatrics now advises the public that long covid is more common than the second most common chronic childhood disease, asthma. Meanwhile teachers and principals are trying to psychopathologize my parent friends for sending their kids to school masked.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

“We can “follow the science” even when it scares us, instead of insisting that “we have to live our lives” until those lives go up in flames.” Violet Affleck get its! This article should be picked up by every serious outlet in mainstream media. yaleglobalhealthreview.com/2025/05/18/a...

Read this for the exceptional banality of the evil. I have an old Canadian buddy who used to live in Worcester for a while. Just another town in America.

Disheartened by last night's Planning & Priorities @tdsb.on.ca meeting, at which the 2024-2025 Climate Action Plan was presented. No mention of IAQ actions to protect against both air pollution from climate events and airborne pathogens. 1/n

Today is #DayOfPink. You may not have heard much about it at your school or workplace. It’s not as palatable as “pink shirt day” because everyone can get behind a general anti-bullying message, but speaking out against Queerphobia isn’t as safe in our political climate. Be the safe space.

Canadians: this feels kinda maga-y…and something we should be using our ‘freedom of expression’ to push back against. Free speech just might be a “use it of lose it” kinda thing…here’s the link to CTV’s ‘contact us’ page if you’d like to provide feedback: www.ctvnews.ca/about-us/con...

Please read the above article on USAID, it covers a lot of information that you may not see otherwise. And once you finish that, consider what is happening to the PEPFAR program which is believed to have saved 26 million lives from HIV/AIDS so far. bsky.app/profile/hele...

Oh, Mr. @deadder.bsky.social, in today’s @theglobeandmail.com. 🤭🤭🤭

I wish public health would actively promote vaccination in the context of Long Covid. (But that would require public health to mention that Long Covid is an ongoing problem.) "Number of COVID-19 vaccinations was associated with better outcomes across all measures."

It is increasingly getting difficult for the average person to discern good information from bad. When we focus more on Dr Henry’s tone vs accuracy, we are doing public health a disservice. The sheer volume of bad information coming from Dr Henry, a senior public health leader, is unacceptable.

Hi, I have an important article out tomorrow, please stay tuned. Just getting my profile going on blue sky. Can you help amplify? @mark-ungrin.bsky.social @amandalhu.bsky.social @realnosferatu.bsky.social @dfisman.bsky.social @davidjoffe64.bsky.social @jvipondmd.bsky.social @barryhunt008.bsky.social
