On #LongCovidAwarenessDay — I think the most important thing to understand is that it’s still happening:
“I got COVID for a 3rd time in 2025 (I'm vaxed, boosted & took paxlovid)... Boom #LongCovid. Can't climb due to PEM. I haven't climbed in almost a year.”
“COVID… is still causing disability.“
WTAF @avilewis.ca. This is a TERRIBLE look. Shame on you.
Tonight, Canada goes teal for International Long Covid Awareness Day. Share your photo or video from one of the locations to support the long Covid community. Find a location near you: covidsociety.ca/priorities/l...

The pandemic was a chance to transform the air in schools. I made this cartoon in the 1st wave & it still illustrates the situation in schools today. Young people are more likely to be asymptomatic & ventilation is not measured or enforced. Workers are therefore still highly exposed
CHANNEL 4: “Lebanese officials said 100+ children among the nearly 800 killed so far by Israeli airstrikes.”

Will this make you reconsider your membership in a Canadian political party?
Why does regular data collection and prompt distribution matter? Well, take a look at this: Halifax didn't get any COVID wastewater data for a month, and in that time the number went from among the lowest in a year to nearly the highest in a year. And now we haven't had updated info for four weeks.
This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, it’s extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.
"It takes around 17 years for health findings to become mainstream practice" is an indictment of medicine's calcified and outdated management class.
Medical training based on antiquated seniority-driven systems that care more about power than quality of care can't keep up with a changing world.
The war has now displaced well over half a million people in Lebanon and killed so many innocents. Our government must bear responsibility for its part in this.
The same police Carney is now giving unprecedented powers to in Bill C12. You may not agree with the cause, you may not be a protestor, but this level of power being given to the police will visit us all.
I wear an N95 always (I am an MD, work in the OR), and if I go elsewhere in the hospital other MDs I know ask me, are you sick? No man, but this is a hospital where the sick people are! What a time to be alive! when my own colleagues think it’s unusual I am trying to protect the myself/patients
Yes—you're reading this NYT report right: Israel shrieked at Lebanese civilians (including women, kids, and the elderly) to "FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!", Denethor-style, then...
...bombed the bridge they needed to use to flee.
This war is evil. Those launched it are evil. No good person fails to see it.
From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

It's time. I've opposed this conversation for a decade, as the legal standard hadn't been met. Now the standard for launching a criminal investigation clearly has been—and the Democrats *can* and *must* launch their own probe so they are ready (if facts warrant) to impeach Trump for Treason in 2027.
On this year’s long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.
A big Thank You to Justin Trudeau:

And the one factor that has a quick, easy solution.
I don't have the data to confirm this outside of some rudimentary stats, but my strong suspicion is that even though we are all playing make believe that COVID is gone, it is adding stress to a system that was already thin.
This is just the latest example I've seen, but it is really bleak how much political content on social media these days is being sponsored by dark money interest groups and how many content creators have been willing to take the cash and keep quiet about it.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Doug Ford wants to SHIELD himself, all cabinet ministers & their staff from FOI requests.
This would apply to ALL EXISTING requests (? Greenbelt comms, even Jan '26 court ordered release of Doug Ford's private cell phone records).
Call Ford (staffed 24/7) to say NO to this

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

This is the story of so many MAGA Christian conservatives. They give ZERO fucks until it happens to them. 😳👇
My God. The scale and scope of russia's widespread, systematic, soulless abduction of Ukrainian children documented in the latest UN report. Heartbreaking, wrenching, inhuman war crimes. Justice for russia cannot come soon enough.
