The situation is unbearable... the tents are tearing and the rain is pouring in 💔
We're living in the cold and fear, without shelter to protect my family.

I need your help to build a simple shelter to protect us from this harsh winter 🙏

Israel, which has obliterated most of Palestine’s archeological and heritage sites, including ancient churches, mosques, and temples, has suddenly discovered an urge to protect one from Palestinian ‘neglect’. It just so happens to be in the West Bank.

Israel begins seizing 1,800 dunams of West Bank land to develop archaeological site
Civil Administration says development legal, taking place amid 'neglect' of site by Palestinians; Peace Now: 'Government's lust for dispossession and annexation is insatiable'

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed was a driver but he lost his car and his home. He is trying to take care of his four children. Fires who is in dental school, Mohammed who finished his final year of high school, Halal, a 7th grader and Bisan, a 5th grader.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Three children were killed by lawn darts in the 70’s and they were banned in the US.

ChatGPT has caused how many deaths at this point?

If corporations are people, why aren’t we holding them criminally liable?

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.
