This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: scientificamerican.com/artic…

Apropos of nothing, one of the first things Nazi Germany did was wipe out the world’s first transgender clinic. This came at the same time at the T-4 program and served as a rough draft for extermination of Jews. My friend @bschillace wrote about this scientificamerican.com/artic…

Books that “depict sex”? Children’s books don’t depict sex. Any sex depicted in the phrase Doris has two mommies” is 100% in the head of the adults seeking to censor the book!
These jerks are attempting to ban lifestyles they fantasize about!

Is anyone going to ask WHY Nurse Practitioners are not funded under OHIP??? If NPs are feasible solutions to support this crisis, why do we have to pay for a visit? We need to start asking some really tough questions. I'll start with this one....

Important points by Matt here: Successive Conservative Mayors let the tax base erode (back of envelope its +/- $500 million) and services decline. It’s time to invest in Toronto. You cannot build a great city for free. thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

This morning the ISS orbited over Southern Ontario. For the first time in months, we got a crisp, clear view of Ontario from space.
This was just after Sunrise so the sun's rays are hitting us at an angle that reveals some topography, like the Canadian Shield.
Enjoy!

DISTURBING: New data shows that Ontario hospital Emergency Departments were closed a whopping 158 times this past year (ie that's 184 days where communities across Ontario lacked urgent care).
This is what it looks like when public healthcare is underfunded.
It must be stopped.

FACT: No one in #Ontario voted for private for profit surgical clinics. All Doug Ford had to do is put the funding back into surgical availability in our public hospitals!! #TragicallyNOHIP

I had the great honour of interviewing Dr. Rita Cox during Black History Month a few years back. You could hear the love of libraries in her voice and her commitment as a dedicated library worker.
Interview HERE: vimeo.com/516736915
@Local4948 @torontolabour
Rita Cox is an author/storyteller/librarian who pioneered @torontolibrary's Black & Caribbean Heritage Collection. A #CityOfTO park was named after her. She is 1 of 41 Black Women in Leadership at the #TorontoArchives and @blackartndialog exhibit. Info: toronto.ca/blackhistory

Also: "Women are too emotional" can get fucked when this sort of thing is accepted.
