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 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. 🧵

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.

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.

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.
