If you're not actively reducing the risk of illness, maybe ask your organization, "why?" Are you comfortable hosting a celebratory event that requires people to self-segregate? Are you okay allowing illness that can cause physical and economic hardship to spread without any mitigation? /end

If you're doing things to reduce illness, tell people! Borrowing air purifiers from @calhrm.bsky.social ? Let people know! Does the venue have amazing ventilation? Make it public! Will windows be open? Reducing attendance numbers? Requiring masks? Providing rapid tests? Tell us! /3

Some people need to avoid illness because they can't risk losing their job & don't have access to paid sick days. Some people have underlying disabilities that increase risk for even worse negative outcomes. Some people can't rely on vaccination because of allergies or other medical conditions. /2

As we enter the season of holiday gatherings and events, consider illness mitigation strategies. Especially if you're part of an organization that's planning an event, how are you making sure you're not entrenching segregation based on socioeconomic status and disability? 1/4

I call this thread “why I’ll be eating Canadian products for the next decade”.
NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year.
The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices.
But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low.

The Lake George wildfire is now under control. That means the fire is responding well to suppression efforts. It is not expected to grow beyond the current estimated 288 hectares. We anticipate extinguishing it before winter conditions arrive. No structures were damaged.

I like this plan.
I have a thing that is saving me these days.
Every Monday, or Sunday night, I look at my schedule, consider my anxiety, & cancel or move anything that I think isn’t urgent & is causing me too much stress for something not urgent.
It’s… really helpful.
