Who cares about seat belts or air bags when you can just close your eyes so you don’t see the crash?

Alberta… what are you doing? You ok? #COVID19AB

The greatest living gymnast just told the world and every young gymnast who looks up to her that trusting your body by not going on the mat if something feels wrong, that preserving your mental health, is more important than the possibility of winning.

That's hero level shit.

I really hope people who work in housing, planning and policy will take the time to read the replies. We are isolated by design outside and our lives are limited and constrained by design inside. When do crips get to live full, big lives?

The youth literally are our future, but instead of idealizing them as “the ones who will save us”, maybe we should be currently working towards a future that will nurture and protect them.

New York City is blanketed in haze from wildfires and Siberia is on fire but how dare anyone ask to spend more than 1 percent of GDP per year on the climate crisis

@pinklady_ktown What's being discussed? I'm trying to understand the agenda online...

[Kendra Cheeseman (she/her) @kendracheeseman]

This is so incredibly cool. Should be available mass market for folks.

Several high school students in Maryland took home two international prizes after developing an accessible wheelchair stroller for their teacher's husband.

NYU researchers find that higher levels of annexin A2 antibodies predict death in severe COVID-19, suggesting severe COVID-19 is an autoimmune disease. The same researchers are looking for autonomic receptor antibodies in Long COVID patients.

The immediate answer to variants should not be third boosters. It should be global vaccine equity.

We will continue to have new, more virulent variants if we allow the virus to grow unchecked. What happens in another part of the world will absolutely impact us.

New Yorkers being asked to turn off their AC during a heatwave to prevent outages while Time Square is lit up like 4th of July is akin to consumers being asked to use paper straws to save the whales despite giant corporations continuing to spill oil & toxic sludge into the oceans

Satellite view of British Columbia interior confirms that the severe thunderstorms occurring at present are indeed pyro-convective events: wildfire-generated severe storms, complete with abundant lightning and strong winds. Precipitation may be minimal to non-existent... #BCwx

[Derrick O’Keefe @derrickokeefe]

They didn’t die just from extreme heat; they died from climate chaos fuelled by greed; from underinvestment in emergency response teams & public health; from poverty & inequality; from underhousing & commodification. They died from neglect by an out-of-touch political class.

[Justin McElroy @j_mcelroy]

There's something both grim and philosophic about the government taking questions about deaths from the heat wave at an event announcing the end of a stage of emergency for #COVID19.

The daily lens of the pandemic was needed, but the work on so much else has to continue.

[Richard Zussman @richardzussman]

NEW - BC Coroners Service now attributing roughly 300 deaths to BC’s extreme heat. #bcpoli #bcheatwave

[Spring she/her @SpringHawes]

This heat is lethal for disabled people. And many seniors, esp. those in congregate living situations, are also disabled. Using the word 'disabled' instead of 'senior' is actually more inclusive. Please recognize this.
