PhD student Kristie Serota radically accepts her bouts of sleeplessness through quilting. DLSPH and @UofTKPE Prof. Michael Atkinson suggests that it might be time in #publichealth to revisit the societal structures that induce #sleeplessness instead. https://t.co/9CQu73rReG #UofT

Let's talk about "Trans Broken Arm Syndrome", a sadly common problem that prevents transgender people from accessing adequate care, and how as healthcare workers we can stop perpetuating it!

Here is a way to ask about a person’s cultural background during a medical history (from Diane Longboat)—with a. specific purpose rather than as just data-gathering:

“Are there any practices from your culture or background that will help with your healing right now?”

New blogpost by @PatriciaLandolt about legal status of immigrants. I see this often in my own work, with the distress that immigrant women who do not yet have their PR face, as their work/study permits put them in a place of immense precarity. https://t.co/cHYVSO9rXu

Days before President @JoeBiden’s climate summit, it’s revealed that @justintrudeau’s government has been meeting with oil lobbyists. Canada needs to put people before fossil fuels and deliver ambitious climate action. Add your name: https://t.co/CWd50Q2Y67 #cdnpoli

I am TERRIFIED for the people in my life who live with chronic illness, for my parents and my sister and my grandparents and my friends who may not fall into that 70%. @fordnation has shamelessly allowed thousands of ontarians to die and will continue to do so #ResignFord
