Masking, air filtration, testing - all of it! Everywhere, but definitely in healthcare settings - in which I include pharmacies.

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

You see someone catcalling some Halloween revelers. Do you call it out? You see someone getting groped on the train. Do you intervene? Most of us want to do the right thing but don't know. I've got good news! Gimme 1 hour of your time & I'll teach you - for free! Sign up: linktr.ee/julieslalonde

I’m not sure I understand what he’s going for here.

Outta my sight, scrub

I’ve been masking for well over six years now: still waiting for that CO2 poisoning, oxygen starvation and fungal pneumonia to kick in

"I'm pretty sure it was just a cold," "I think it was RSV," "Must've been the flu," "I'm sure it's not covid." You can't identify a virus by your symptoms. Unless you get tested, repeatedly, you're just guessing. NO ONE tests. NO ONE knows what the hell they've got. Don't trust them.

I wouldn’t have asked English Canadians how they feel about French Canadians swearing allegiance to a King from a country that tried to genocide them because it does not concern them.

I asked everyone on my newsletter if politicians in Quebec should have to swear allegiance to the Monarch (as they do everywhere else in the country). How would YOU have voted? ✅ Weigh in on the next poll this weekend. Join the newsletter: join.FarAndWide.news

If I had known what a difference an N95 and air purifier could make in my overall health, I would have used them before Covid. A respirator keeps me from getting sicker. An air purifier reduces allergies, dust and MCAS symptoms. We should want these tools in public spaces.

Repeated infections being a “fact of life” is a framing designed to make you think something is naturally inevitable rather than the expected result of a series of public health decisions designed with something other than your health and safety at the forefront.

NYT: 'How Bad Is Another Case of Covid?' “Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/w...

Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

Please stop calling me on my phone that's not what it's for

"I don't know what's going around." It's COVID. It's ALWAYS COVID. If it's not, then it's every other virus like the flu because y'all refuse to acknowledge you fucked up your immune systems by allowing COVID to thrive and mutate over and over again with reinfection. Wear a mask and vaccinate.

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

Carney: "Europe and Canada are stronger together … The objective is not self-sufficiency, it’s collective resilience.” I really wish he felt that way about public health

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

whenever somebody doubles and triples down about how maybe AI is alive and sentient I just feel very bad for them that they think so little of humanity that it could be replicated with an LLM

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

It is never too late to start wearing a mask A well fitted respirator like an N95 provides excellent protection against Covid and other airborne viruses With healthcare cuts and public health in shambles, we should all do our part to help each other If you can’t afford them… look for a mask bloc!

The best time to start masking was in 2020. The best time to resume is right now.

i don't know how lonely you have to be to think a machine can have feelings and be your friend but you must also be very dumb

This is what Carney's new Digital Transformation Canada should be doing, not trying to find new ways to implement digital asbestos.

🚨 Switzerland's federal government is replacing Microsoft on 3,000 computers - start of a larger pilot for the federal administration. One of many European governments reevaluating the risk of depending on US tech.

With the news that the US will impose another round of trade attacks on Canada next week, this thread will provide advice to Canadians who want to cancel Netflix/ Prime/ AppleTV/ Disney+ and replace them with Canadian or non-US options. You don't need those US apps. 1/x #BoycottUSA #cdnpoli

JKR is alive and very rich and hating trans people is her whole deal so you can just not f with her or her work. So much art in the world that isn’t being made by someone who is trying to erase my children.

The single biggest Canadian publication responsible for Doug Ford is the Toronto Star. It has been 8 straight years of them crafting narratives for someone so obviously performing like a circus 🎪 bear and working with Trump.

Toronto Star@thestar.com · 3mo ago

It is easy to forget it was only last year, during an Ontario election campaign focused on the threat of U.S. tariffs, that Premier Doug Ford let slip he wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency. But that was then and this is now.
