Trudeau stop making me like you

Oh Trudeau, despite your issues, you earned this one.

Great holy Zeus but I am loving no f**cks left to give Trudeau. (Yes, it’s real. I checked.)

Canada Wins #4Nations #HockeyGame vs. USA I am thrilled for PM Trudeau. #TeamCanada

Legendary post by Trudeau. Respect Canada’s sovereignty!!

Savage Trump own from Justin Trudeau after Canada beat the US in the Four Nations Face-Off final. Everything Trump Touches Dies. Bravo, Canada! 🇨🇦

Trudeau drops the gloves.

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

Respect for knowing where this lovely rock column came from. And where it is now! #UrbanGeology #rocks #holiday!

This heart rock was given to me by young Emma during an urban geology tour in Halifax in 2023. The treasured rock remains on my office desk. #HappyValentinesDay #HeartRocks ⚒️

Texas Republican Governor Abbott contines to fail Texas. Measles outbreak epicenter in Gaines County TX. Gaines County has one of the highest rates in TX of school-aged children who opt out of at least one required vaccine, 14% of K-12 in the 2023-24 school year. abcnews.go.com/Health/wireS...

Why hello, strange Ethiopian earthquake! It will be interesting to see if you retain this odd moment tensor. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Unfortunately, scientists are finding fake accounts made with their names (in my case, using "m" for the last letter of my last name instead of "n"). My 10 reports to Bluesky have gone unanswered & the fake account is DMing people asking for $$$. Disappointed at the lack of support on this platform.

Disabled people have been sounding the alarm about fascism for five years now. Pandemics lead to fascism. They excuse the deaths of the most vulnerable first. How do you not become vulnerable like us? Wear a mask! If you become disabled from Covid, they’ll excuse your death too.

This is what I’m saying.

THIS. We kept our kids out of in person school, even delaying kindergarten for our youngest, until they could be vaccinated. Ended my career to make this happen. Hubs is immunocompromised and even his family doesn’t honor his request to mask/test for visits 🙄

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Nice to see some spine.

Provincial Premiers ought to stop pretending that the pandemic ended. It did not. Most hospitals still don't have HEPA filtering, N95 or better masks, positive air pressure to push air outward. Covid is AIRBORNE. Purell isn't going to do much.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

Hey, @davidfrum.bsky.social, here’s an idea: COVID deniers won because folks with cushy jobs at publications like The Atlantic were extremely quick to join right-wing dark money groups and their fringe scientists in demanding we abandon nonpharmaceutical interventions and layered protection.

Scheduled COVID and shingles shots for tomorrow morning. Looking forward to an incredibly achy Valentine's Day!

If you gave up wearing a mask, you can start again. Even (and especially) if you have already been infected. Every infection you prevent is worth it. Changing your mind on your behavior because you have learned new information is normal and correct. Masking is community care and self care.

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

Please let it be known that millions of educators across the country would welcome an Alt Department of Education account here on Bluesky! #EduSky #AcademicSky

TIL that Carl Linnaeus based most of his biological classification system on one he learned from the northern Scandinavian Indigenous Lapp people. brill.com/view/journal...

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

More fallout. HT @profstevegriffin.bsky.social

There are few monuments to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918—memory-holing pandemics is nothing new—so this is an encouraging development. chicago.suntimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

One of today's Junco's! 🙏🤓🪶

Colletes cunicularius are now emerging at the UPV/EHU arboretum. It’s nice to have such a massive aggregation close to the office.. 😅

Late bday present and card from Dr Bae. Both beautiful. But look at the precambrian erasure on that geological timescale! And the vertebrate bias! #geology #paleontology

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

JD Vance said the quiet part out loud. They're going to ignore judges they don't like, and they're probably already doing it. They already learned that nobody is going to physically stop their goons. Just thought you should know. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
