On June 6, 1822, Canadian voyageur Alexis St. Martin, was shot at close range by a musket on Mackinac Island.
The wound never healed fully, leaving an opening in his stomach.
Studies of his stomach greatly advanced our understanding of digestion.
This is his story.

Learning loss didn’t come from “lockdowns” or remote instruction.
It COMES FROM (still happening) illness.
Illness caused by COVID.
Illness that makes kids miss school and teachers miss teaching.
SICK DAYS. And the vascular damage that causes incapacity to think & retain.
This is still happening.
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears.

My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

The Vancouver General Strike of 1918 was sparked by the death of Albert Goodwin, who advocated for workers' rights and unions.
It was the first general strike in Canadian history and inspired the much larger Winnipeg General Strike of 1919.

Feels like a lifetime ago in American politics when GW Bush invited President-Elect Obama and all living presidents to a meal at the White House. Sadly simply cannot fathom that in today's political environment, particularly and most crucially, of course, from the GOP and on the US right

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.
