Not that you'd know it from our MIA CMOH Kieran Moore, but "Starting in April, COVID-19 vaccines are available for specific populations at high-risk of infection who live, work or go to school in Ontario." Please make sure the vulnerable people in your life know. 1/2 www.ontario.ca/page/covid-1...

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

Gotta recoup those speed camera revenue losses somewhere.

just to be clear: Imane Khelif is *biologically* a woman. she's not a trans woman, the entire intellectual edifice of terfism is a completely capricious attempt to define anyone they don't like out of being a woman

"doctors just give you pills, I only take dozens of wellness pills instead"

recently made this little calendar (2025) to look at patterns in bike share toronto ridership higher-res: jamaps.github.io/maps/bike-sh... #toronto #cycling #data

This boy is in critical condition. This is a former speed camera site and a crosswalk with difficult sightlines (which means a speed camera was *important*). You can bet Ford's people are prepared with key messages about this. This is shameful. This is deeply upsetting. #OnPoli #ToPoli

Wab Kinew’s remarks about the war are a brazen antisemitic dog whistle and need to be condemned. Scapegoating Jews is a tale as old as time.

Because nothing says “Protect Ontario” like mercury poisoning!

please read and consider sharing.

This. Many women who (correctly!) see themselves as cis women have genes and chromosomes that won't meet "no trans women" bio standards. And most don't know it.

Anyone who has elective conversations on the GO train, I hope your side of the pillow is perpetually hot

“With a furious, heart-breaking 43-34 vote, the provincial government decided to dismiss thousands of Albertans with disabilities, essentially telling desperate parents that their children just do not matter enough to warrant a simple legal framework.” #abpoli edmontonsun.com/opinion/tait...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

If anyone wants to write a story about reporters not using generative AI at all, feel free to get in touch with me!

“Ma’s plan for me was the same as for my sisters: earn a respectable degree and marry a respectable man. She said it was the recipe for a good life.”

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

Co-signing every word of this. See also: ERs not having basic equipment like chairs for doctors to sit on. I literally reduced my shifts during pregnancy because I could not stand for most of an 8 hour shift.

I've been around Ontario long enough to know that whenever they dangle booze in front of the voters like keys in front of a baby they're about to do something *unbelievably* corrupt. At THIS level of "Drinks Some Beer, Losers", I have to imagine Algonquin Park is becoming a chemical weapons plant

It serves a political purpose to create the problem of open air drug use across Ontario, especially in an urban centre like Toronto. Conservatives can claim that "crime is everywhere!" and weaponize the public's fear — no matter that they created the problem. No matter that thousands will die.

Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X

Learning that Marion Barry was waaaaaay more than that hotel room sting video was one of the earliest lessons for me (a white person) about how much the U.S. hates Black leaders and revels in tearing them down

OK this is legit fascinating

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the UAE tax residents, the real victims of this conflict

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet. All the details in our article: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Cedarvale station, Eglinton Crosstown LRT this place is huge #Toronto

It appears that Bird Site has eaten a great deal of my threads, so I'm re-creating from scratch. Today we're doing sapphires. #JewelWatch I screwed up the last time with the color names, so I guess it's a chance to fix that. First, understand that sapphires come in a bunch of colors.

How about ✨ no ✨ Do the people working at this pediatric office have to pack out their own solid waste? No? Because there’s a system they can count on? It’s just kids’ parents (predominantly mothers, let’s be real) that have to do this?

Well, this is a bit of a plot twist.

Scientists: if you have pursued/secured philanthropic funding in the wake of federal research funding cuts, I want to talk to you. Reposts appreciated!

ELECTRIC BICYCLES

Seriously @metrolinx.bsky.social can you not do anything right? How hard would it be to have a screen in the tunnel - how are you supposed to know if you need to walk to Platform 1 or 4 with no information?!

at 5:47pm tonight in Toronto, the sun will set directly over the east-west street grid, creating an effect known as Torontohenge (named after Stonehenge) the effect is more dramatic amidst downtown towers while today is mostly cloudy, check again at sunset the rest of this week #Torontohenge

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Jennifer Annesley continues to prove she is one of the best watercolourists alive.

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

after 15 years (most of our conscious lives) we have survived to see the opening of canada's biggest tram in a hole

digital version so you can play along too!

This is what happens when you spend years telling people that they don't need a child to justify owning a cago bike.
