“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. You only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well” - Warsan Shire On #WorldRefugeeDay, remember: no one chooses to be a refugee. But we can choose our response. ‘Us and them’ are fictions. There should only ever be ‘we.’

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

Physical rehab services, incl physiotherapy, are not required in provincial health coverage for ppl outside of hospitals. Thus, what exists for our neighbors in our communities varies. This creates giant gaps news.umanitoba.ca/physio-study... #Manitoba #cancer #physiotherapy

The obsession is real. This argument hits closer to home when the prairie air quality is a 10+. Where is the emergency and national outrage?

The protests & slowdowns & leaks & refusals to comply & boycotts & strikes & antifascist art & gumming up the works & sanctuary projects & all the other stuff that we’ve got to run all at once have to feel like that too. Break their hold bit by bit. Here, there, & over here too, until - whoosh.

It's been an interesting news day, and a great reminder that women are far too emotional to hold positions of power. 🙄

My Globe and Mail op-ed on lawful access: “Bill C-2 is far from just a border bill. The government and law enforcement are running back a decades-old warrantless access playbook that should be roundly rejected as it trades a border crisis for a privacy one.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/bc5ccfd...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

"'We know the premier is telling untruths to First Nations... Our rights are not being respected,' Mamakwa said after being warned by the Speaker. When asked to withdraw his statement, Mamakwa refused, and said his comment on the premier is 'the truth.' He was then asked to leave." Reconcili-ACTION

Authoritarians have to disrupt trust in institutions that they can't control. "According to a survey carried out last fall by the Pew Research Center, the American people trust scientists far more than the federal government." So they are undermining scientists. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/c...

In a world overwhelmed by injustice, we must remember: our pain is deeply interconnected, but it is not interchangeable. Healing requires the courage to hold space for every form of suffering, without collapsing one into another. Each grief is sacred. Each loss deserves its own dignity.

I appreciate this message, and I'll add on: I am a Jewish person and I do not want any peaceful Palestinian, Muslim, or Arab activists in the United States to face deportation or legal reprisals for their activism, in the supposed name of Jewish safety.

I think the latter is actually more important! That health is treated by some as an indication of the value of a person is a (?subtle) manifestation of racist and eugenicist hierarchies.

My first #WorldPhysio2025 presentation today is a discussion of valuesin guidelines. Discussions are for contentious issues; I'll be bringing a #CriticalPhysio perspective to the panel, relying heavily on STS scholars to do so. 1430, in Hall B5 It'll be more lively than the description sounds!
