I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

thinking once again about how survivor is always on the ground thinking about blocking and composition when getting their footage. part of my love for this show is its blocking, no joke. not only is it something they consider & capture in the moment, but they make you feel it

I need to write a blog post on this, because social media posts won't cut it for nuance, but between our piss poor healthcare system, our piss poor health education system, the fact of choice, and the multiple competing influences, this strikes me as correct.

We’re living in an age of impunity From small unfairness to gross injustices, we seem to have lost a sense of shame.

Does anyone else feel sick of it all? Wrote for the Star about Toronto Police, Open AI and everyone in power who deserves a public shaming. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Live for your op-eds, Denise.🔥

Every single bit of this.

I know many decent parents that have been captured by concerted effort to make them fear vaccinations.

Felt down. Bought flower stickers.

man, @publichealthguy1.bsky.social was (afaik) the first former CDC person to publicly call *explicitly* for RFK's resignation, rather than gently scold him, and he's currently being called a piece of shit and dogpiled for saying vaccine hesitant parents are facing a bad information environment

this website sucks sometimes

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

As a person who lives car-free, the effect this has on me is negligible.

And I hope this spurs more people to demand walkable, bikable, transit-friendly places to live. Fossil fuels have always been a threat to national security and our pocketbooks

The federal government, for its part, seems intent on re-creating the Canadian economy of the 1960s through investment in male-dominated industries and the expansion of the military. 7/9

Just heartsick, honestly. Watching culture of war as ‘murder but fun’ videos in service of the fist bumping Armageddon fantasies of people that should not even have power of a vehicle let alone military, healthcare etc and etc

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists
