The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

@Saffiya_Khan1 @TrudiG @SkyNews @KamaliMelbourne I actively hated lockdowns, cried my way through them and felt I was neglecting my children while they were stuck at home and I tried to work. Would have that again forever, compared to what I have now, which is two chronically ill children with long covid who can’t function

@DcrInYYC Perhaps not deliberate, but the result is the same.

[💜Angela D @catsmap]

@DcrInYYC It has been the case for years. People want maximum square footage and to facilitate, builders cheap out on all the fixtures and finishes.

I think that good people have to resist doing and thinking what it is that people are expecting us to do and think. I think being a good person in a shit society requires disobedience. I think that all the people who aren’t in vicious denial of Covid have that in common.

My theory: burnout has nothing to do with how many hours or how hard you work. It's caused by working for people you don't like, towards goals you don't believe in, in systems that grant you no agency.

Repeat COVID Infections & Dementia

A time bomb no one wants to talk about 🧵

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

I hate how the people stuck in denial insist that everyone they interact with plays along with their normalcy fantasy. It’s exhausting because just mentioning Covid sours the whole conversation and kinda ruins it. But not mentioning it, just playing along is soul crushing

[tern @1goodtern]

I've just seen some staggering data on how badly infections are affecting urgent care here *now*.

It's hard to comprehend.
It's hard to get your head round it.

You need to see it to believe it.

@UofTCOVIDRehab It means more than you can know to Long COVID patients to see you all masking. It is one of the most immediate indicators that you’re actually understanding the science. Not to mention, practicing community care! 🙏🏼

[Henry Madison @RageSheen]

That feeling of the world going absolutely batshit crazy is us reaching a specific tipping point.

The tipping point where reality itself is defined by the fads and fashions of social life.

Where what’s real becomes what trends.

@surf4children I was shocked a few years ago at the human tendency to prioritize conformity over care for others, but sadly, I am not anymore.

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

If schools actually gave people coping skills, resilience and self esteem, then why do the people who went through those systems fail to cope with the reality of the pandemic, aren’t resilient enough to wear a mask and don’t have the self-esteem to do the unpopular thing?

1. Perhaps the most damaging blowback from the response to Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021 is the mainstreaming of a public health ideology that is rooted in a dangerous combination of survivorship bias, nostalgia, and the naturalistic fallacy.

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

Unfollowed. It’s just unacceptable how he keeps doubling down. One day, millions might benefit from the targeted therapeutics people like him develop—but if they disregard the chain of infection, they’re not just enabling the spread of disease; they may be endangering their own patients and research participants.

I’m choosing to follow organizations like @polybioRF—those who know better and do better. Even if a scientist or clinician is seen unmasked on a family vacation, they wouldn’t behave like this publicly.

There’s so little decency left in the world. I’ll keep following the people who still care about others.

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

This world is wild. Maybe one day I’ll get to celebrate Valentine’s Day again with her, in a restaurant. The way things are going, probably not.

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Alberta came together after the Jasper fires. The UCP made promises.

Now, they’re revoking the $112 million they committed for housing.

Instead of working with Jasper and the federal government, they’re playing politics.

Put the partisanship aside.

Jasper deserves better.

@UOHelpMe your website can't pull up my order to print a return label. I have tried calling, texting and chat with no luck.

[Keith @keetmuise]

If you refuse to wear a hardhat on the job and you get fired, the larger difference here is that the choice to not wear a hardhat likely wont harm other people like spreading viruses can.
