Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”
We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

Long Covid has now overtaken Asthma in the US, as a cause of chronic health disease in children. There is currently no cure. Yet no action is being taken and Violet Affleck is very much on point.

I complain about the heat a lot in Ottawa and people think I'm exaggerating because we have such cold winters. Yes, we have both. We're a city of extreme weather and it's only getting worse.
+47 is downright dangerous for those of us without access to effective air conditioning.

Extreme heat is coming to Ottawa on Monday, with a forecasted high of 35°, feeling like 47° with the humidity.
This is a serious danger for many, particularly the unhoused.
Mayor Sutcliffe needs to ensure cooling centres are available to keep the public safe.

I am begging people to realize you can care about multiple things and believe in the liberation of multiple groups of people at the same time.
Being for liberation for all isn't contradictory. It's intersectional.

Want to show your opposition to the current state of things? Wearing a respirator mask in all public spaces is a clear indication that you do not adhere to the status quo and that you care about your health and that of others. A truly radical (and 100% nonviolent) action. Ticks all my boxes. ✔️😷✊️
