@mattgurney Someone having a obvious mental illness and someone having a mental health crisis are two different things. If you’re going to publish something it’s important you not decide when someone is in crisis just because the way their illness presents makes you uncomfortable.

I think this is one of the most under talked about results. Hopefully this research informs change

This is simply the best communication I have seen from an expert in a highly hostile media context. Phenomenal. Full of heart, compassion, and a drive to impart FACTS. Well done, @ian_hickie - I bow before you.

"To be honest, there are guys here whose mental illnesses are deteriorating by the day."

Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest rate of inmate suicide in Atlantic Canada by jail capacity.

Everyone always assumes rises in youth doing X unproductive activity is eating into productive time, when it's more likely its eating into whatever they were panicking about the youths doing 20 years ago

[Robyn LeGrow @rlegrow]

Talk to your kids - even if you don't think they'd ever use.

A surprising # of ppl use recreationally on weekends/parties but it's not always obvious - we need to keep an eye on each other.

It's prevalent & preventable & it'll take a whole community to get ahead of it 🙏♥️

TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT DIVERSE FAMILIES AND QUEER PEOPLE IS NOT GROOMING.

The far right is lying to you. They are spinning a false narrative about what is happening in our schools.

No one is trying to convert anyone, but queer kids are still being bullied in our schools.

[Alyssa @alyframpton]

some profs are hyper focused on student plagiarism and the use of chatgpt while also being paid to deliver classes where they are simply copying the textbook and associated teaching materials provided without a single original contribution and then calling it a day. 🤷‍♀️

[Alyssa @alyframpton]

I think about the BMI often when I think about clinical measures used in mental health assessment/treatment. It reminds me to question how measures have been created. By who? For who? What do we actually know about the tools effectiveness from the patient perspective? Etc.

[Anti-Racism Coalition Newfoundland & Labrador @antiracismNL]

BLMNL & ARC-NL stand together as we mourn the death of Omar Mohammed. There has been loss of a human life. A member of the NL Black community was shot & killed by an RNC Officer. RNC has released NO updates on the case, nothing has been said. We need answers. We deserve better.

[Alyssa @alyframpton]

@3dwar6cull3n Excellent. I’ve seen every episode (some twice) I can’t wait to discuss this in depth with you.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

“There’s no reason to believe it’ll stop with us.”

Anti-trans rhetoric is getting louder, angrier, and more personal, writes @FaeJohnstone—and it’s putting trans and queer people’s rights and safety at risk.
