I don’t even know what to say anymore. Ppl I used to think of as knowledgeable and competent look at me like I have a 2nd head when I talk about how polluted indoor air is and how much purification helps lessen illness. Yes, the air in your home too! Please get an air purifier! What are we doing???
We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

As the sky turned a dark grey and the flurries started to fall, we saw about 800 Sandhill Cranes, doing what they do on a dark, cold & snowy day.
If you look closely at one of the images, you will see one of the Sandhills stretching its beak up towards the dark sky reminding me of a wolf howling.

Legault knows that Miller is right, but admitting it won’t help him in his bigoted attempts to return to the past. Hence the performative“outrage” that the Québec media seizes on for clicks.

Mark Carney’s new minister drew outrage with his comments about French in Quebec. One problem: He was right
Marc Miller's critique was fair and rooted in lived experience.

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations
