Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now.
Many saying “Covid is back”.
It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations.
Every infection is a dice roll with disability.
Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.
There are great conferences and science in the US, but with the way things are right now, it’s too risky to attend.
Australian academics refuse to attend US conferences for fear of being detained
‘When academics fear travelling or partnering with US institutions, the impacts ripple through the entire global knowledge ecosystem,’ one says

Someone asked me last week if I had "suffered a financial loss" from the markets and I openly cackled.
I've been told my whole life I won't be able to retire. I'm worried about the price of BREAD.

Yup. This is every "dream job": 10% doing the thing, 90% doing everything else required to get to do that 10%.
I've got a photographer friend, and so many folks think it must be lovely to just show up, take a few pictures and get paid, without considering the thousands of hours that go into self promotion, handling finances, networking, and all the many things that aren't taking pictures.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

A Lithuanian equivalent to “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” is nemokamas sūris tik pelėkautuose. It means “the only free cheese is in a mousetrap”

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Confederation College is suspending 11 programs.
A memo attributes the cuts to, "ongoing provincial tuition freezes, chronic underfunding, & recent changes to federal immigration policies that impact international enrolment."
Con College’s international enrolment dropped 39 per cent in 2024-2025.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious
This is exactly why Canadians are fed up with US media.
A segment on Canadians cancelling Vermont vacations. Mentions tariffs but not (1) who started the trade war or (2) that the US is constantly threatening to ANNEX our country!
This isn’t MAGA. It’s not FOX. It’s a random NBC affiliate.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

When it comes to the Ring of Fire, [Ford] said the push to consult with First Nations hundreds of kilometres away is “ridiculous.”
“Take us to court, do whatever you want, we’re moving,” he said. “Enough’s enough, it’s been 20 years.”

In light of Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford flipping the table on consulting First Nations over the proposed Ring of Fire mines, I thought I'd post once more that when Ford says "Protect Ontario" in northern Ontario, he also means "we're coming to take it."
