A 1953 student public health assignment included this quote from a public health physician about fluoridation disinformation "the so-called evidence against this method of prevention of dental decay was from 'crack-pots and individuals without scientific backing.'" We need more of this directness.

I'm sorry everyone. I killed Bluesky. It was me. In my defense I thought the red button said "lunch"

#Measles is not being spread in Canada by visitors or temporary workers. It’s being spread by unvaccinated people infected with measles.

I recognize there's a lot going on at universities right now, but it still surprises me that Saint Mary's is refusing to offer the Canadian History survey courses, in this the year of questions about soveriegnty and separation. They do a lot of heavy lifting to combat disinformation.

There are many people who really believe that not everyone should attend school. And, there's a smaller group that feels very strongly that students have a right to learn & should be supported, and assume more people share this belief. 🧵

I like to watch the house construction show "Grand Designs" to see the budget blown out and lives crumble. Real sicko time.

Those fucking camo hats on Victoria Day weekend. I get it, the Blue Jays are the only Canadian team, but celebrating US military as the president talks about annexing Canada is all kinds of bullshit.

Gonna go out on a limb here @nytimes.com and say the main problem facing authors isn't used bookstores but the massive AI platforms you publish apologia for every day

I was never under the impression "permanent" had a petty solid definition. Fuck right off Rob Manfred.

now you're all going to hear one of my annoyances: when adults say to other adults "look for the helpers." My dude, you ARE the helper. Kids look for the helpers, which should be you, a grown person.

Very much hope journalists will investigate the cancellation of the 2026 annual meeting of the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences. This is a pretty seismic event in Canadian Higher Ed. Sadly, given the state of Canadian journalism, I'm not holding my breath.

Fuck that group and that bar. I recommend writing the venue and telling them that hate has no place in Halifax.

The conservatives are actively trying to undermine democracy. This shit needs to be stopped through some sort of disciplinary action. Allowing a federal party to continually lie about process, policies, and outcomes is really dangerous.

"HHS said that CMS and NIH would establish a data use agreement...and follow autism diagnoses before expanding their research into additional chronic health conditions." If you don't protect vulnerable groups, you will eventually be part of a vulnerable group. No one is safe under authoritarianism.

Nova Scotia Public Health has confirmed a case of measles in Halifax. Measles is highly contagious & transmitted through the air when people breathe, talk, sing, etc. In addition to vaccination, a well-fitted mask & improved ventilation help with infection control. www.nshealth.ca/news-and-not...

"Nova Scotia...confirming one case of measles in the Halifax area...It involves an adult who was exposed to measles while travelling to the US." There we go. If you're not sure of your vaccination status, it doesn't hurt to get another MMR. And masks & ventilation add infection control!

"[with Covid] People started playing with: 'Well, what would it feel like to just not give a shit if people die?' And once you play with that, you’re playing with fire. And it starts spreading. And it becomes, 'Well, who else could we say it’s OK if they die?'"

At the allergy and there's a large one way mirror on one side of the waiting room. I was not prepared for my allergies to be interrogated like this.
