How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

Woah. That’s horrific. I’m sorry you experienced that. It’s really hard to see barriers when they don’t inhibit you personally. This post gave me clearer vision on an issue I had the luxury of ignorance.

It seems you are referrring to red light cameras not speed cameras. Speed cameras are typically located away from controlled intersections, often along school routes. There was data supporting behavioural change in drivers (slowing down) and increased safety where speed cameras were used.

No Evidence Supports Using Graded Exercise for ME/CFS Studies examining the effects of activity-based interventions haven’t required post-exertional malaise as a core criterion for the now-termed ‘myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.’

"Graded exercise" is neither supported by evidence nor recommended for people with an illness defined by worsening with exercise. #mecfs #longcovid www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

I don’t want to be *that* person, becuase I don’t disagree with any of love/ posts for those beautiful women. I do want to whisper an aside to all of my trans sisters who don’t fit conventional western femm beauty standards: you are valuable and worthy of protection, love and reverence too.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet.

Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀

The stigma faced by those of us who felt this way is pervasive and real.

But they just wanted to party, they’re the “turn-up” men.
- your post was creativity inspiring and now I want to write revenge-fan-fiction about turnips.

Ooh, this is the read I need with my tea today!

Genome-wide Screening Identifies Unique Host-Directed Drugs and Pro-viral Signalling Pathways for SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense RNA virus and was responsible for the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. Although the current disease burden is less severe, there are limited treatment options, significant...

Saskatchewan scientists screened the entire human genome and found four approved drugs: donepezil, dihydroergocristine, trametinib, and sorafenib that block SARS-CoV-2.

Three also stopped common cold coronaviruses, suggesting broad antiviral potential.

I'm going to try to change your perspective on COVID in under 2 minutes.

What did I just see?!? That’s amazing!

Folks have been really great about avoiding an emotionally charged tizzy over this one. Before I slip into my “but cameras were overreach” zone- here are some facts to temper that slide.

No worries, they’ll be “pre-lowe’en” treats for visitors and neighbors and my inner-candy-goblin. Thanks for the heads-up :)

What up Blue Sky!?

This just made Halloween at my house a lot better!!

This was always the plan. You do not raze a city to the ground to make it liveable

Autism is rising. Or at least that’s how it looks. But is it really increasing? And if so, why? US president Donald Trump has claimed — controversially — that use of acetaminophen, or paracetamol, during pregnancy is linked to autism. But there’s already been decades of research on the condition. S Why is autism really on the rise? What the science says

Very well explained.

The picture almost makes them look fluffy. They’re the cutest little things! I want to know everything about them.

Doug Ford’s Highway 401 tunnel idea was shelved in 2021 by his own government - Toronto Life Despite truckloads of criticism, the premier wants the potential shaft to help Ontario’s roads flow as easily as gravy

I stand corrected: 2021- not 2018

“According to CBC and Global News, a FOI request revealed that the Ford Tories conducted an unpublicized planning study on the potential tunnel in 2021. The project was then shelved late that year for an undisclosed reason.”

Knowing his own staffers determined this was impossible (or astronomically cost prohibitive at best) in 2018, why are we doing this again?

Still trying to figure out how folk know the no. of spoons they begin with each day. This task feels unnecessarily complicated, or maybe that’s #brainfog?

COVID Is (Still) A Working Class Issue Michael Rancic goes long on the class-based disparities affecting how musicians navigate COVID in 2025

New Feeling: 'COVID Is (STILL) A Working Class Issue'

'Cameron is one of the 3.5 million Canadians who have had long COVID since 2020, one of the many disabled by the disease who have virtually vanished from public life without any collective grief or acknowledgement'

The Ford government is taking over school boards. It should be dismantling them instead The Ford government took over the management of several Ontario school boards. But replacing bureaucratic school boards with provincial bureaucracies will not make schools more responsive to community...

More trash from the RWNJ Fraser Institute! This time, they claim the Ford government should be scrapping school boards instead of taking them over? The bit about giving parents funding if they send kids to independent schools is also a cause for alarm. #ONpoli #onted www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

… and don’t forget us lurkers who will never tell you that you changed their outcome of their very bleak day by posting Rock Lobster at just the right time (ps- thanks).
