We are very sad to say good bye to Shelda Kastor. She died Tuesday. Shelda was from the Ochapowace Nation in Saskatchewan. She was part of @crackdownpod.bsky.social from day 1 and active in BCAPOM, WHARS & VANDU for many years. She was always happy to see you and had a hug for everyone. 💔 RiP

A leaked report shows that Vancouver's mayor wants to make Vancouver a 'sunset community' where Native people aren't welcome. He has a plan to deport Indigenous residents of the city to their "home communities". www.bcafn.ca/news/regiona...

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

A reminder that several of the cats who’ve died of bird flu (those who weren’t farm cats drinking raw milk) were being fed commercially prepared raw food. Stop feeding raw right now! Any benefits are not worth the risk when bird flu is rampant and cats have something like a 90% fatality rate
SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished.

The CA Assembly's analysis found AI produced a life-threatening denial because of a statistical correlation: they denied coverage for hospital care for asthmatics with pneumonia bc they have lower mortality... but the lower mortality is *because* they got higher-level care given the risk factor!
I had no idea til I heard this interview that AI was being used to make claim decisions. 🤯 thank you for your important research
