Don’t get sucked into the whataboutism. There doesn’t need to be competition between public health advances - each are important & critical in making people live long + healthy lives. Anyone in public health will tell you this. Alas, the folks doing damage only know how to rage bait for self-gain.

‘We’ve been able to resurrect some of the ancient life that shows what this wetland was like prior to urbanization.’

I didn’t have this Guardian article about Toronto on my bingo card yesterday:

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront
A project to restore coastal wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, worms, larvae and plankton

People coming down with Covid all around me. We're in a big wave - protect yourself. Studies show chance of Long Covid/ other damage rises with every infection.

A month after school starts...who knew. And classrooms with no hepafilter units bec govt/schools disallow it. #bcpoli

On rare occasion there’s an accurate headline about rapid climate warming
and it’s always jarring as hell

Got Tower of Power on. Let's go.

October 2004—I was 17, jazzed to see an eruption of Mount St. Helens in my lifetime.

The earthquakes, the eruptions through Crater Glacier, and the subsequent growth of the whaleback dome and spine.

We were spoiled from 2004 to 2008, weren't we? Harmless dome fun.

Saber-tooth fuzzy potatoes!!!!
Resembling saber-toothed fuzzy potatoes, these adorable rodents use their long incisors to gnaw through soil, digging elaborate tunnels. Damaraland mole rats spend nearly their entire lives underground, communicating using squeaks and growls. Meet our mole rat colony at Kids' Zone!

New podcast episode where I talk about what's going on with mortality in the US

A wide-ranging discussion of what happened before the pandemic & what's happened since then; racial disparities and how to get our heads around their scope; why things might be going so badly for Millennials & Gen Zers
Prof. Elizabeth Wrigley-Field Discusses Excess Deaths
Because the US death rate has exceeded that of 21 other high income countries for over four decades, an estimated 14.7 million US lives have been lost since1980.

Sometimes the internet is so delightful. 🎉

Somehow this post from an account I don't follow showed up in my feed for a book launch for a book I hadn't heard of in a city I've never visited before but will happen to be there that night. Sounds like a great way to spend an evening! 📚🚲

Sf1: #kyanite v #hematite.

Awful sore at #kyanite for beating dioptase a while back, so probably stumping for #hematite this round.

Pics below!

My face, as I campaign for minerals in art, when I see the #MinCup25 voters swayed against mineral titans of art history, like voting for kyanite over 164,000 years of hematite and red ochre in art !? 😱

Give me hematite you rock nerds! Without hematite we couldn’t have this:
