Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

Thank you Mexico 🇲🇽 Firefighters More firefighters from Mexico will be arriving later this week to #BritishColumbia #Canada

This morning when returning from walking the dogs, a doctor recognized me (we’ve been mutuals since X) stopped her vehicle and we chatted about family, dogs and what we need to do to help healthcare under PM Carney’s government. We exchanged cell phone numbers and hugged. #SocialMedia

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written. Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old. Original post

Damn, this world looks and sounds so beautiful.

30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular. Original post

100 Mexicans arrived to help — 200 more are on their way, and more are coming, even from as far away as Australia. THANK YOU to the people of those countries. We appreciate you!

For the long weekend, the Bouviers took the whole family to Bates Island. They treated us to French fries but saved the hamburger without a bun for themselves. A ton of people asked about their breed - I forget how rare they are

If you think there's no difference between a Carney Lib gov't and a Conservative Poilievre one, then I don't think we have much to talk about.

Happy Pride, Toronto. #PrideToronto2026

My husband gave a talk as a young student on his microbiology thesis. Dr. Fauci came up to him, discussed some overlap in the work he was doing and was encouraging and kind. Treating young scientists as equals - how rare is that? This is just one of a million similar stories about Dr. Fauci.

I knew some of Anthony Fauci’s family. They were kind in a way that you swear it can't be real and only through time do you realize it is. That's how he is too.

It’s not the question that should bother you. It’s why they’re asking it now. Theresa Tam has already testified before parliamentary committees more than 20 times since 2020. So if this isn’t about getting answers, what is it about?

Another walk, another chance to find decorative burrs… #AudreyHepburn

Whether we officially categorize it as ‘pandemic’ or ‘hyperendemic’, the reality is that “during COVID” is now.

GRUBER: I made a prediction that before you left office, Greenland would be under our operational control. TRUMP: You'll be right. They want to do something. Greenland is important from our standpoint, not theirs. You should make that bet.

Canada's economy grew 0.3% in May, marking a second straight month of growth. Stats Can says Q2 is on track for an estimated 3.3% annual rate. Growth came from 13 of 20 sectors. Encouraging economic news amid all the uncertainty!

Back in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.

Thank you @maxfawcett.bsky.social for this. Who were the people “simply asking the right questions”? Antivaxxers, that’s who. Their “questions” decreased vaccine uptake - causing tiny babies to get measles. Antivaxxers should be apologizing to those babies, not pretending to be victims.

Normal stuff from a Canadian Conservative MP. If they're going to kick the reputation among voters that they're pro-MAGA, they should probably stop importing its most odious messaging and culture wars.

History books will be kind to Fauci.

At my husband’s bday, amidst wonderful convos and laughter with our son, daughter and her beau, I forgot to take pics of the table ladened with tapas, replaced with Paella and salad, followed by my daughter’s cherry pie. My gravestone will say: she lived a full and therefore undocumented life.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

They never measured the air. The filters were run at settings chosen for noise and comfort in communal rooms (low flow). They didn't even calculate room volumes — and no tracer, particle, or bioaerosol data confirms the intervention lowered airborne pathogen concentrations anywhere. 1/

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

Always have been always will be---Team Fauci.

I’m not following the whole thing because it’s awful. As a doctor, I’m grateful for the health leadership of Dr. Fauci. As a Canadian, I’m grateful that he provided this leadership to the world, including Canada. This is a travesty. Shame on them. History will judge them to fools.

Y’all really need to read this. Immunity is complex, and when pathogens are slippery, by the time you build a library of immunity to it, a lifetime has passed, it may have left other dents and scars, and it’s cousin flu A’s are prowling about waiting to finish the job.
