More homes and less infectious disease.

@uhhh_effy You look fantastic!

@amoralorealis I left to Mastodon, and it's 100x better than Twitter or Threads.

Far and away the best moderation out of any of the options. No ads. No algorithm, so you just get what you ask for.

You just need to find a server, but it's definitely worth the 20 minutes of effort.

It works!

Ignore me. Just testing Open Graph stuff.

@yhdistyminen Okay, but he's calling us "desegregationists". That's kind of neat.

@InspiredAquaCA You should join Zeroes. There's another COVID-focused aquarium account there!

[@[email protected] @stevenedwards]

Anyways, if you've read this that's 1-2% of your daily Twitter rate limit.

[@[email protected] @stevenedwards]

If anybody needs help or advice migrating to Mastodon, let me know!

If you're focused on COVID safety, Zeroes (dot) ca is a million times nicer place to be than Twitter.

If you're looking for a queer or general-purpose instance, I will find you something good.

The hardest parts to get used to are some of the accessibility norms.

But they're also (mostly) good norms, and kinda fun when you get used to it.

It's kind of cool to be on a social network that values this stuff.

Imagine being a medical doctor, but also not thinking physics or chemistry are real.

🤣! RCTs have the pesky downside of giving an accurate causal estimate; and real world compliance being abysmal is part of the cake's recipe. This essay is a tour de force in poor scientific arguments & bad epidemiology 👇

[Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. @kprather88]

Below is definition of an anti-science perspective.
Anti-mask "zealots" like this one would rather blindly "believe in" RCT's for respirators (foundationally flawed as the article clearly describes) than protect people from a deadly virus.
Clearly, he did not read the article.

It seems not great that the people we've elected to solve the housing crisis are all repeatedly giving themselves brain-damage via avoidable COVID infections.

Good morning from the final day of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association!

(please clap)

The conference wraps up this morning with speeches from Sonia Furstenau, Kevin Falcon, Municipal Affairs Minister Anne Kang, and a presentation by Bowinn Ma on climate resilience.

Dozens of people will die because of these bullshit lies.

Shannon Paterson is choosing to kill people, and instead of going to jail she gets a pay cheque.

@yhdistyminen I get that this is a shitpost, but also I can't get over how many people use cars as housing because housing is too expensive.

[@[email protected] @stevenedwards]

To the surprise of nobody, if you call your policy "missing middle" but don't actually legalize density, it doesn't get you more homes.

Abolish parking minimums. Abolish setbacks. Abolish maximum heights and density limits.

Otherwise, you're choosing to displace people.

My GP told me to get a covid booster, so today, 6 months after my last dose, I called to book one.

The first time I called I was told I should receive a text to do so by next week, and then lied to and assured general population would receive booster invites.
