Epidemiological research without action is just counting oppression. I will die on this hill.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I’ve watched Adolescence twice now. Completely gutted both times. So real, so powerful. I have a few critiques but can’t remember the last time a show hit me so hard. I’m definitely not alone in this feeling.

“The best clinicians I know are the ones who figure out how to use their own lived experiences to connect with the people they work with. The ones who understand that we aren’t just applying techniques—we’re engaging in relationships.” 👇🏽

"Whisk away" makes it sound as if she's on her way to Disneyland for a surprise vacation. No, #BrokenPost, she was abducted, kidnapped by masked agents.

These stories are always troubling and staff need to be protected at all costs. There is good evidence on implementing relational security practices to help reduce instances of violence, rather than a focus on physical and procedural security. It’s worth being part of these discussions.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

If only we had a way of helping to prevent this.

Program to divert mental health, drug crisis calls shows early impact. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n... @arieltroster.bsky.social

I just saw a post on Reddit from someone upset that there were people using drugs the Scotiabank ATM at Somerset and Bronson. The Somerset West Community Health Centre just closed its supervised consumption site on Friday, after being forced to by the Ford government. Decisions have consequences.

As I said earlier this week, when we send police to people who are vulnerable & in mental heath crisis, we're making that person more vulnerable to experiencing a range of harms including death. Tragically, 2 people died in Halifax this week during police interactions. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Enjoying this one. I’ve always loved a prolonged instrumental outro. youtu.be/CampzCC-0W4?...

and, (even more) people who use unregulated drugs will die

I am almost relieved that this happened in front of cameras for the whole world to witness. No more backrooms, no more facades of reasonableness or bargaining. We now know what side the United States is on, and in whose interests they’re acting. It isn’t their people’s, and it isn’t ours

Cool, can you pls stop referring to us as alarmists then, @nytimes.com?

We published two open access articles this month and it cost us (the grant, thankfully) $9500. How is this a sustainable model for making publicly-funded research freely available to the public?

complaining about "the far left" is such loser energy. oh no, not the people who want everyone to have human rights!!!!

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Probably not a good idea to dig your heels into defending “both sides” of fascist imperialism. Classic CBC move and part of the problem.

I feel torn right now about defending science in the face of attacks on scientists and scientific evidence in the US and beyond. In championing science, we have to remain cautious about reinforcing a particular kind of reductive positivism. Defending science also means defending its critiques.

40 mg is 0.04grams. Fentanyl on the streets is sold as a point. 0.1 of a gram. 10 points equals 1 gram. 1000 mg equals 1 gram. 40mg is a minuscule amount. Basically every single person using fentanyl would be locked away for life.

My brother just saw this outside his house - a bald eagle maiming a Canada goose. Seems like a bad sign.

Drug control has always been used as a vehicle for advancing social and political agendas that have have nothing to do with drugs.

Canadian grocers getting ready to gouge and blame the trade war

There are so many bold and brilliant ideas in this article. Reading it has given me the mental health boost I needed this afternoon. Do yourself a favour and read it, too, fellow Canadians. And while you're at it, follow @policyalternatives.bsky.social for more creative thinking re: what's possible.

There is nothing more obviously inevitable to me than everyone eventually concluding that, no, you can't work with the Trump admin., you can't "find areas of compromise," you can't treat this as normal politics, the only option is total, unremitting opposition. Everyone will get there eventually.

I’m genuinely delighted by Chappell Roan.

I’m old enough to remember when leftists were fighting against free trade.

In an age of misinformation, we must follow the science.

Spotted on Twitter: "lol do you know how badly you have to fuck up for my entire tl to be canadians going 'this trudeau speech is excellent.'"

What a powerful piece.

The solution right now isn’t more nationalism. We need cross-border, intersectional solidarity.
