A holiday near and dear to my heart!

The OCTOBUSH is in the loose again! #halloween #parenting #googlyeyes

Since visibility on this is a really big challenge I just wanna say that I still mask in public spaces. I wear a mask when around anyone who doesn’t practice similar precautions. If you do too, you are not alone and I appreciate you so much. If you don’t, you can *always* start again.

We do have the power to stop this...

If my worst covid effects are that I missed a bunch of cool things I wanted to do and I'm tired for the next six months, but I was never in danger of dying, isn't that still worth preventing? Don't you want to help that not happen to a stranger?

You strangle the breeze and I’ll slam in the back of your dragula.

This random person with very little chem knowledge also agrees.

hey Canada - here's where you can tell the federal government to go cram it when it comes to AI policy ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en...

all books should have maps in them, no exceptions.

Once had a staff room/ copy room with big windows overlooking a lake. Awesome for staring at work. Oh, and another place with exterior hallways was awesome for watching rainstorms.

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare

Just finished watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and got to say it’s way hotter than the much more explicit True Blood.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index. Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place. Carney: "Hold my beer."

Carney’s strategy is the exact opposite of what Canadians voted for. It’s clear that he’s making many unacknowledged/unexplained assumptions, while ignoring many obvious risks. Mark Carney is not the CEO of Canada. He’s an elected leader. He needs to explain himself to Canadians.

We have truly not yet figured out how to cope with a person or institution that is "aware" of climate change, "accepts the science", but then decides to continue actively worsening it anyway We don't even have a word or a phrase for this! theconversation.com/mark-carneys...

Fuuuuuuuuck this.

When leaders say "there are more important things to focus on" than the current pandemic, they are saying that there are more important things to focus on than brain injury, organ damage, long term disability in kids, immune dysfunction etc - and that sounds totally absurd if you think about it

Every week I recruit more archaeologists and every week I run out of archaeologists again. Lol.

there *should* be a random chance of encountering a muppet in your day-to-day. like, .1% of the population should be muppets, minimum

Agreed. You can say something like, "I hope you can get some rest," because it doesn't impose a demand on them. Rest CAN help a lot, but it's not going to cure you, and you're not at fault if you can't get decent rest.

Not for nothing, but it is wild we’re talking about the morality of being mean to AI and not, like, industrial meat production.

I went here and everyone knew Garak

“good news, we’ve created the playroom that tells kids whatever they want to hear and makes them not care about their parents from the seminal Ray Bradbury short story, Don’t Create the Playroom That Tells Kids Whatever They Want to Hear and Makes Them Not Care About Their Parents”

Just because we haven’t done it yet doesn’t mean we can’t work towards it now.

Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

buckle up we're doing nicetober each day u pick someone to be nice to but you gotta do it every day if you can't pick or find someone then you gotta be nice to yourself those are the rules have a good nicetober everyone will celebrate your success by dressing as skeletons or witches and eating candy

For those who missed it, Kneecap...wasn't banned. MP Gasparro, Parliamentary Secretary for Combatting Crime, just said it on Twitter—which is worrying on many levels, incl that this is a big Privacy Act red flag. (Govt officials DO NOT comment on immig apps in Canada!) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Winning what exactly?

I am obsessed with this guy on Instagram who makes ice cream using different kinds of trees, then he also makes a spoon and bowl out of the same kind of wood, and the whole time he teaches us about that specific kind of tree?? It’s so cool?? x: www.instagram.com/reel/DPHvnfR...

🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.: She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman. She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

What did I hear about in PD again? Brains. What was ignored? Both Covid and brain damage.

Educators are being played. We’re so desperate to get whatever we can from wherever we can that we’re confusing being a corporate pawn with preparing and providing for students.

Canada was ‘instrumental’ in moving the High Seas Treaty forward, but hasn’t ratified the agreement. Until it does, the country with the longest coastline in the world will have limited opportunities to participate in treaty processes to protect international waters thenarwhal.ca/canada-high-...

ChatGPT worth it to you?

But that’s so sensible, and surely not what our most recognizable premiers would want.

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help. These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients. Mega 🧵 of resources

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

My friend, I heard you say that “the lion does not concern himself with his noticeable memory loss, brain fog and slight cognitive decline,” but, please know, my friend you are not a lion, you are a human, and that thing you refuse to concern yourself with is called long Covid.
