Ummmmm…. Is this not kind of INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING, #America? What does this mean exactly? www.instagram.com/reel/DbHg0GY... #SaveAct #USIsraeliMilitary
The problem w accurate reporting, like that of @accountabilityji.bsky.social & @walkerbragman.bsky.social, is that sometimes you learn things that burst your bubble! Alas, we know it’s better to be aware & as @coopspeak.bsky.social jokingly says in this epi, maybe LIAM needs to be “taken” 😝:
Not only does grading attendance negatively impact a plethora of students (including those who menstruate, those with low SES, the disabled/chronically ill, and neurodivergent), but doing so without addressing any of the issues CAUSING absences is cruel… …and unbelievably self-serving. 2/2
Reppin’ @theresisters.bsky.social last week at the @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social march insisting the #Ontario govt stop pushing for-profit healthcare over our public one! It’s something they’re doing at mock speed and via anti-democratic processes - we MUST stop it. #PeopleOverProfit
THIS is why it’s a problem having Doug Ford in charge of this province. He’s financially irresponsible and deceitful…and the ENERGY required by everyone else to get him to be transparent and ethical is enormous. Ford is a drain on Ontario, in more ways than one. @colindmello.bsky.social
@thepwhl.com has been hit w something. Not likely hantavirus, but not identified as anything else yet either. Hope that, whatever it is, they identify it publicly. So many “mystery” virus headings since “the virus that shall not be named for fear we have to admit it isn’t over” showed up in 2020.
You seem to have very big feelings. Probably best to keep them on your side of the border where, yes, despite our issues, you have PLENTY more. Including…

Love that there are still opportunities to play competitive volleyball in our masters years. So much fun. Taking 2nd place after 14 sets (against some players 15 yrs our junior!) earns us a medal & some cash (and an epsom salt bath). #MaskUp @drbaileydevine-phd.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social

What I recall from years ago when we were curious about the reason for Sick Kids’ abhorrent messaging around Covld, airborne viruses, kids, masking, IAQ, etc., was learning there was a link with Mattamy Homes which is a a big donor to Sick Kids and to the PC party.
Thx for sharing that 🙏🏻. Just had it brought to my attention that @sickkidsto.bsky.social is not managing information any better: cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-2... @teachrprecarity.bsky.social @onschoolsafety.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social @mark-ungrin.bsky.social
We sure do! Young education staff members and young families need to know:

Sitting outside this morning appreciating the cool air, the sunlight, the sparkling snow, and the strong winds moving clouds quickly overtop of and past the sun, while playing one of my fave songs, “Aperture” by Harry Styles. Turned out to be very apt: “Aperture lets the light in”
Yeah, we started that when people decided they weren’t going to protect themselves or their kids! from an airborne virus known to do incredible damage. There are ~500k papers on the virus. #LongCovid is now the #1 chronic illness in kids, over Asthma. We have #ILCAD2026 on Mar. 15. #EpicFail

Zoinks. This doesn’t sound like a good idea. Anyone paying attention to the @carolecadwalla.bsky.social? @theresisters.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social
I quickly found son’s mask from his clothing bag and put it on him while he sleeps stuff off and we can get the heck outta’ here. Meanwhile… whn.global/a-call-for-t... and… /end
Had to travel to Kingston, ON today for personal reasons, but had a hunch my friend @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social would be carving up some ice during his precious nightly skate - so I popped by to finally meet him in person! (Ooooh, @coopspeak.bsky.social’s gonna’ be jelly!) #Online2InPerson ⛸️❄️😷
And they still recommend it because it’s still “during Covld” 🙂. #CovidIsntOver
