A lot of people with chronic illness are flaring right now due to the stress of the state of the world. Living through end stage capitalism and escalating fascism takes a tremendous toll. It’s important we all resist at our own pace. Don’t be afraid to rest. Unplug. Recharge.

Looks like the evidence for this weird chemical abundance in an exoplanet atmosphere has gotten stronger with new JWST data: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s... Is it really a sign of life? That’s still not clear; lots of analysis left to do. But it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out! 🧪 🔭

Mar 15-28 hazard index from the team at Covid-19 Resources Canada, based on federal wastewater data. COVID hazards are very high in Canada (~1 in 143 people) & high in BC (~1 in 142). While this isn’t the highest in recent memory, COVID is still circulating, & analysis suggests it’s increasing.

My guest article in @healthydebate.bsky.social looks at why we need mandatory masks in healthcare, why surgical masks aren’t enough, and how the mounting threats to public health are putting lives at risk. If you’re a healthcare worker, mask up. Show us you take your oath to “do no harm” seriously

Amen to this. Share what you find useful, constructive, or empowering. It may help others. Hopelessness and powerlessness are what cause us to disengage and stop acting for the good of our communities. Your voice matters. Your actions matter. They give hope to others.
