No one frivolously ghosts a parent or sibling.

in fact, CH often has WORSE pt Access Metrics than many AHS hospitals, but for some reason govt doesn't make them report to the same standard as AHS. 7/14

This👇 "So the patient is discharged with gauze, antibiotics, and a bus ticket. It’s not neglect by individuals — it’s a failure of design. The system treats the symptoms of cold but never the coldness of the system itself." chaneldabell123.medi... 1/3

Having children “tends to coincide with a lasting drop in employment and earnings for moms but not dads”—and a growing body of research has identified a significant, underdiscussed factor perpetuating this disparity, Stephanie H. Murray writes:

An important heads up! But maybe a little light on underlying causes and possible solutions. I'll provide my perspective on things in this mini-thread. 1/

This piece was in our main library in 2015 for a couple of months & a woman told me she would stop by on her lunch break & just sit & look at it almost daily because it gave her some peace. Few better compliments. Shore 55×40 140×101cm Oil on Canvas 2015 #ArtAdventCalendar

Yep, another owl for Day 23 #ArtAdventCalendar I was standing outside last night looking at the clear bright stars and it reminded me of this client work from a couple years ago. #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #birds #yule

For my final #ArtAdventCalendar entry: a mighty feast with family and friends. I pity any poor fish cruising by beneath this pelican clan, on the Red River just north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. #birds

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 21 Crow is our friend. She has a damaged wing, but can fly, and has come back to nest in the area, and hang out in our yard, for the last few years. She’s getting a drink and is showing off the subtle iridescence that crow feathers have! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Yet one more reason we cannot allow LLMs to serve as epistemic grounding is that we cannot triangulate among them the way you can among reasonable independent sources. They bullshit in the same way and end up agreeing with one other about things that are completely false.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14 is pulling from the cuteness vault to help us all out today; these Sandhill Crane colts were super adorable, and I enjoyed getting some of these unique interactions on camera from an ethical distance 🪶📸 rhenyard.darkroom.com/products/rad...

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

Two social dynamics make this work: 1️⃣pluralistic ignorance (people privately disagree but think they’re alone) and 2️⃣the spiral of silence (when people think they’re alone, they stay quiet). The quieter most of us are, the more it looks like “everyone” backs illiberal moves.

Populists like Smith don’t just win by mobilizing their base — they win by convincing everyone else that their base is bigger and more mainstream than it actually is. 👉That’s the core of the populist playbook: make a small, loud group look universal so everyone else stays quiet.

A personal favorite Waymakers throwback for today's #ArtAdventCalendar, this Willie Wagtail is so full of personality! The entire group of fantails are just the best birds ever. 🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 13: Sunset over that little side creek in ƛ̓éxətəm (Tlahutum) Regional Park. January 2024 I've tried many times since, but could never quite recapture that same mix of angles, clouds and light :( #photography #LandscapePhotography

A frosty start to the morning today. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 12

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar Waymakers throwback is this little Grasshopper Sparrow absolutely singing his little heart out. Don't imagine any elaborate melodies here though, the name comes from the insect-like buzz their song resembles! 🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt

I think I was using what I had on hand which led to this tiny sheep having a purple head and feet, but it's one of the things I love the most about it. Made from scrap acrylic yarn, safety eyes, and the sheep pattern released by Complicated Knots last year. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 11

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms? Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people." Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

Love this post! Great suggestions! #MakeYourNoise

Pancholi says while AB government is fixated on childrens fertility, parents are focused on making the best choices for their kids She says every Alberta girl who wants to play competitive sports has to prove their gender at birth because of one anecdote of a teen girl who lost a race.

The elusive Northern Hawk Owl. This amazing bird of prey (owl) can spot prey 1/2 a mile away. There may be only 200,000 in the world. Small and fierce. #ArtAdventCalendar #owl #bird

“There’s a world of difference between criticizing a gatekeeper and removing the gates entirely. Between arguing with the referee and denigrating them so you can call the game yourself.”

The Best Duck. I will not be taking questions at this time #birds

Challenge. When someone says, “Well, that’s what the typical Albertan thinks" or "that's just politics," try: “Some do, but a lot of us are worried about how this hurts democracy.” You’re reminding everyone listening that unchecked power is not "normal."

People have come to expect teachers, union leaders, academics, and health professionals to speak out. Farmers, cowboys, lawyers, business owners, stay-at-home moms, card-carrying Conservatives, and other unusual suspects have got to speak up, too.+

#artAdventCalendar Day 7 Since yesterday’s stained glass Steller’s Jay saw some love, here’s an etched glass version to go with😊 My hands draw each design, cut each stencil and etch each line. (No computer CNC machines for me.) #art #glassArt #artYear #humanArt

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said. She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people." We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

I have said it before, I will say it again. It's not a bad apple. It's not a bad barrel. It's the soil. Holistic changes to the culture & environment for policing in Canada (not just Calgary) are needed to address this criminal behaviour. Who will ever report a sexual assault to CPS again? Exactly.

On the 36th Anniversary of the Polytechnique massacre, we remember the names of the 14 women murdered just because they were women.

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar: I was watching this Grizzly Bear and her cub when she stopped for a moment, sat up, and seemed to just take in the view as the sun began to set. #wildlife

🅳🅰🆈 6 - Singing on The Lifeboats... In a world that's moved away from #blackandwhite, I find I'm moving towards black and white #photography more & more. It has an incomparable mystique and mood. It adds more with less. #artadventcalendar #classicmono #simplicity #minimal #birds #nature #yeg #bnw
