Darlings. Listen. I cannot offer you absolution or permission. I can only tell you what I know, how I would react, how writing interacts with the ableism we all marinate in. You can do whatever you want. Just know that whatever you want comes with consequences.

Lots of talk about COVID today but I wanna say that getting sick is bad in general. Flu still kills and disables people and it's an indictment of our values as a society that we were willing to accept 50k deaths a year from something preventable as the cost of doing business. That's a bad thing!

The consolidation makes sense, and in my volunteering meetings w/NS health teams works well save for some login problems, but the public webinar didn't seem to translate as well in terms of tracking and allowing attendees. I'm sure it will get worked out in time, but the Q&A feature not showing up

Someone really needs to dig into the underrepresention of the Atlantic region in federal research grant competitions. I was seeing worrying data on this a decade ago, and on this one we’re 0/64…? Is provincial underfunding making them less competitive or…? #cdnpse www.canada.ca/en/impact-pl...

Trudeau's reforms weren't perfect, but undoing them makes things worse, not better. Carney of course knows this. He isn't trying to build trust. He is weaponizing democracy to extract as much capital as possible from Canada for him and his rich friends.

Finally 😮‍💨, if you need to go outside when the air is bad, a KN95/N95 respirator will help protect you from particulates. @popns.bsky.social will help you get some, as will I from the Halifax mask bloc. If it is bad where you are, you will need an elastomeric with a cartridge rated for VOCs too.

Running air purifiers, like those you can borrow from @calhrm.bsky.social 😉, is always a good idea for mitigating indoor air pollution, allergens, and pathogens.

This warning, while appreciated, could have been helpful a few days earlier when air pollution caused an orange haze during the morning. Also when air pollution is low, open your windows and refresh your indoor air! When it is high, close windows.

With the cyclospora outbreak in the states, I am glad I already resolved to do more farmer’s market shopping this year! Canadians need to be mindful that our federal government is similarly happy to dismantle public services through defunding & can create conditions for outbreak(s) here though.
