If we all had the same skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and abilities, there would be people who would group us by finger length, eye colour, head shape, etc., because they just want to oppress and exploit.
The categories don’t matter to them, it’s all about the oppression.

Serious illness or disability won’t happen to them and IF it does, they will be able to afford it.

🚨 Patients are feeling the collapse of healthcare. Today, for the 1st time in my 30 years as a doc, the majority of patients I saw apologized for being sick & needing care. Some had many issues. Exactly none of their needs were frivolous; all were urgent.

This is really important.
The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

No one likes to see animals die. Here is a very clear round-up of why the ostrich farm (previously a meat production farm) had to be culled: to save birds and humans from this highly pathogenic avian influenza, and to protect BC and Canadian avian farming.

“I am so sorry I need help.”
This is what an elderly retired nurse told me recently. She’s a patient, like all of us. She had devoted her life to help others. She has complex medical issues which had stabilized well until she got COVID and then long-COVID 2 years ago.
