Despite Long COVID's toll on millions of children, there are only a handful of clinical trials that include them. @spichaksimon.bsky.social reported on three upcoming pediatric trials. Co-published with @19thnews.org! thesicktimes.org/2026/02/03/l...

Long COVID affects millions of children. The largest pediatric trial so far launches this year. - The Sick Times

One NIH study will test low-dose naltrexone, while other upcoming trials will test larozitide and taurine.

From now on i'm calling any kind of "anti-woke" shit the Jeffrey Epstein Agenda.

Luckily it is virtually impossible for AI to write convincing ethnography. Not that I have tested this theory (yet).

This is the 4th person this week! This time a 58 yo man who is suspected to have died shoveling snow outside his house on Wednesday but was not found until today when he didn't show up to his friends house. All of these are linked to aging and social isolation. www.tvanouvelles.ca/2025/12/13/d...

Reproductive rights are not a given… in QUEBEC, in the year of our lord 2025.

Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada@abortionrightscan.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.

“This year will mark 36 years since 14 young women were murdered on Dec. 6, 1989, and I don’t think it ever gets easier to think of the circumstances of their deaths or the stamped-out promise of their young lives.” #dec6 cultmtl.com/2025/11/gend...

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny

As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

It feels desperately painful to see some of the most morally consistent, fierce, clear-eyed, & principled teachers leave us as f@scism continues to balloon—the same f@scism committed to debility & the abandonment of disabled people. Elders, oracles, ancestors. RIP @sfdirewolf.bsky.social.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism.

Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

Our entire working life is an exercise of "Are you producing enough capital to justify keeping alive?" It's dehumanizing, exhausting, and traps people in abusive employment situations

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.) noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-big-cr...

Crime is down but spending on cops and security is up. Why?

same, cuz we need to unravel the bigger picture here to show everyone what's at stake: www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st... The framing of Bill C-2 being "unCanadian" or not nationalistic enough is silly, ahistoric, and harmful. Don't memory hole what Canada does with its surveillance powers.

Were the author not a business school prof high on his own supply of AI hype, he would perhaps be able to comprehend that the answer to the question of why new graduates lack critical thinking skills lies in the normalization of AI, and the pandemic. The solution is not more AI, Shannon.

Wow. Just wow. "Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Nothing can prepare you for the vacuous nothing that follows completing your PhD. Even though your peers warned you. The total radio silence, especially when you’re not feverishly pursuing academic positions. Scathed.
