*taps mic* narcissistic psychopaths have a constant need for escalating stimulation and poor impulse control hope that helps clear up [gestures wildly] everything

What can Canada do to convince Americans to move here? NIH funded researchers, is there something CIHR could do to attract you? DOE and NSF funded researchers, is there something NSERC could do to attract you? Doctors who can no longer care for everyone, can Canadian health care attract you?

Another day. Another porn bot following me. Another reported account. Sigh.

VA study shows COVID more severe than RSV, flu By 180 days, the COVID-19 death rate reached 3.1% in the 2022-23 season and 2.9% in the 2023-24 season. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Marco Rubio is suspending the passport applications of trans people. Marco Rubio was confirmed by the Senate unanimously. Every Democrat voted for him.

What is with the new trend in Winnipeg to stop 2+ car lengths behind the stop line in a left turn lane at a red light? The car is not detected, so the green light is skipped for the left turn. Twice I had to pull out and go to the front and pull up to the stop line to get the light to turn green.

Never let the fascist bigots of the world convince you that you can’t make a difference. Don’t let them steal your light. We can ALL make a difference. Small acts of kindness and resistance, when done by large amounts of people, can and do change the world.

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.

Almost all of us with chronic illness have experienced the “it’s not going to kill you so what do you want us to do?” Brush off. They seem to think confirming something won’t kill us is all they have to do. What we really want? A diagnosis. Treatment. Improvement to quality of life. Validation

In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance. In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don't elevate others.

Right? 🎯

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

“If it were really an emergency - you wouldn’t question going to the hospital” Perhaps this is true for non disabled people … but once you’ve experienced years of chronic illness, neglect & medical trauma… you question everything. Going to the hospital is NEVER an easy choice

A new longitudinal cohort study found that children who were sick more often in early childhood were more likely to continue being sick in later childhood with more moderate to severe infections and require more antibiotic therapies. /1

Most Homes Burnt In Wildfires Had Pre-Existing Timbers, Says CDC Spokesperson

CDC And WHO Issue Urgent Warning To People In Areas Of Wildfires To Wash Hands To Avoid Inhaling Toxic Wildfire Smoke

We are receiving emergency department reports of patients (young and old) diagnosed with Covid19. Friendly reminder from family medicine that COVID-19 is airborne. Please celebrate New Year’s Eve safely and ring in 2025 healthy.

Did I just get a porn bot following me or did I misinterpret the account? Porn bots on Blue Sky?

PSA: ‘Big Wellness’ makes more money than ‘Big Pharma’ with none of the regulatory constraints to ‘innovation’. It’s pseudoscience and quackery and is dangerous. It kills - remember Steve Jobs? Thinking he could ‘Wellness’ his way out of pancreatic cancer? Don’t believe the ableist hype…
