Came so close to DNF The Deluge - enjoyed the others. Faves: Greenwood 🇨🇦, anything Emily St John, Monkey Beach 🇨🇦, Adrift🇨🇦, Birnam Wood. “Will make a good movie” category: Yours For The Taking, the Disaster Tourist🇰🇷 (And I’m writing one now… Tentative title The Weight of Ash)
Sorry… what??!! Is this a targeted thing? Personal? Political? Like an actual assassination attempt? First - girl you need a hotel room or safer space STAT. Next you need to get a criminal investigation. Please stay safe!!
For context… fuel shortage in the country. This will have cascading effects on their economy.

“Princess mycelia”?? Well I won’t take that literally.
Anyhoo… I mean that it’s implicit bias and ego defensiveness resulting in medical trauma. We are not great at admitting we simply don’t know - and these mostly young women with LongCovid symptoms are getting gaslit on the daily. Check a forum.
I absolutely agree with this rationally. Except the global policy is to ignore the many people who are suffering chronic consequences, to the point that they’re gaslit or dismissed. By drawing attention to an ongoing phenomenon with no preventative measures, it reminds us that many more are at risk.
Please mention how we need to rip up the contract with CocaCola / Dasani that keeps bottling our tap water.
You think Coca-Cola and Dasani have Canadian ownership? Lolllz
I’m pretty sure that’s plastic leaching from their bottles. We get pure glacial runoff, likely why they stole it.
This is one more example of how the USA exploits Canadian natural resources, literally stealing our foundational needs right from under us. And we’ve let them. All of this needs to be reevaluated, not just at the municipal level, but federally as well. Such agreements should not be allowed. 4/4
What we absolutely need to do is cancel this contract and use the water for citizens. The company are not forced to restrict their production during this time where citizens are asked to. And people didnt, so we are in the “red zone.” So - not enough water to deal with emergencies like fire. 3/4
There is a Coca-Cola manufacturing and distribution facility in NE Calgary that produces Dasani bottled water using Calgary‘s tapwater. It operates 24/7 taking our water supply and selling it for profit. They made this agreement with Calgary when we thought we had an endless supply of water. 2/4
Global news article describing how Calgary‘s mayor decrease that lives could be lost because of a water shortage after a main pipe broke
Calgary’s water main broke. It bashed up one of our main roads, (Highway 1 that goes across Canada). It’s put local citizens under water restriction. But here’s the deeper reality. 1/4
and because I know the science around masking is sound. Cherry-picking & misleading research doesn’t change the scientific consensus that high-quality masks, ventilation, and vaccines are valid preventative measures that save lives and healthspans. Your article shows a lack of critical appraisal.2/2
As a physician who masks in public spaces to avoid getting and transmitting COVID, it has nothing to do with anxiety & everything to do with science: not acutely killing the elderly I love & those I serve, not transmitting serious chronic autoimmune and vascular disease to 10% of those infected 1/2
Meanwhile in Russia: inspired by the Trump administration’s anti-European stance, state TV host Vladimir Solovyov predicted that Russian and American combat troops will jointly storm European cities.

I'm gonna resonant computing so hard that my adaptive pluriverse becomes as prosocial as a god damned golden retriever.

Five principles for resonant computing: private, dedicated, plural, adaptive, and prosocial are defined.
People who think he’s being sarcastic haven’t actually read the manifesto… it’s brilliant and necessary. People’s fear of AI needs a curious reimagining. #ResonantComputing
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
Include mental health, dental and eye care, and rehab medicine - then YESSSS we need universal pharmacare in Canada. And also a focus on #LifestyleMedicine - sleep, exercise, connection, diet, and recovery for all as medicine.

Post a movie where you’re from… cheating with two because they perfectly encapsulate Calgary - from it’s sprawl to its isolationist centre. And - same director.
Our biggest Canadian outbreaks were in meat packing plants, especially among newcomers. The refugee clinic stepped into help a specific response but the plants themselves did nothing to protect their workers until their bottom line was affected.
Teen Vogue has been a beacon of truth and light in a dark era. No wonder they wanted to steal your shine—I’m sure you won’t let them. We’ll all be waiting for your next project.
What’s most at risk is food, water, clean air, and safety (physical and psychological). And no politicians are meeting their global commitments. Canada’s budget should reflect the climate-related polycrisis. There is no prosperity without a livable planet. @mark-carney.bsky.social
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

The real “complexity and urgency” is the climate and related polycrisis. There is no prosperity without a livable planet. Food, water, air, and safety are all at risk.
When I was hiking in Seoraksan national park in South Korea a few years ago, I saw an informational sign about forest bathing! So fitting you would be there. What a wonderful conference. I write about this medicine in #ModernTrauma
ACE score is ten
And the voice actor who played the octopus - loved it. So snooty!!
