One of the cats who lives at the sanctuary hiding behind some bushes
My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there
Aww Lisa! You are one of my librarian sheroes. And a fellow knitter! It was so lovely to finally meet you in person at the OLA. 🌱

Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
From Palestine protests to Indigenous land defence, police are dusting off old, abandoned court orders—”zombie” injunctions—to threaten or arrest organizers

i had imposter syndrome trying to talk about fascism alongside Alberto Toscano, but i'm glad i did coz it was an incredibly generative conversation that helped distill & crystallize my own thoughts about fascism worldwide today & it's differentiations from the past.

From the Toronto Star- not only do the Toronto Police not FIRE police who use the database to stalk women who won’t date them and violate the privacy of their exes and others, the only consequence is that they are docked pay. Cut their funds and divert the $ to women’s shelters.
This is so important. #BHM
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.
An August conference call on X’s Spaces heard two leaders of Canadian groups banter about deporting 10 million people.
In the conversation, former OneBC staffer Othman Mekhloufi shared insights from what he claimed were Conservative Party of Canada contacts. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #canpoli
Sooo interesting on many fronts. Neuroimmune communication increases inflammation and lesion size, plus a potentially massive impact of the new migraine drugs #cgrpinhibitors #gepants #endometriosis
I’m curious what part of my triptan-resistant migraines are pressure-related and what part of these are something else related to immune /stress — also the unholy trifecta of hormone/mast cell/inflammation. Is there a collective of migraineurs researching this? And what comorbidities do we all have?
I’m interested because of my pain and also what this means in terms of folxs’ understanding of pain
Education: New treatments for migraine: CGRP monoclonal antibodies, gepants, and ditans
The treatment landscape for migraine has undergone rapid change as new classes of both acute and preventive treatments have been brought to market

“Agatha’s Almanac” is so resolutely charming that there is no point in resisting its power, writes Dorothy Woodend.🍓📽️
Beautiful. Thank you ❤️
Just deinstalled my last show of the year & wanted share the documentation of my piece Black Cathedral. Everything about making art this year has been a slog but creating Black queer otherworlds and taking up space in this one with my queer and trans sibs has been worth it vimeo.com/1121396204

Strombo coming out for Palestine, and Kneecap, against authoritarianism and with a message for @mark-carney.bsky.social & all Canadians.
I’d like to see more about young progressive women and men, including non-straight and non-white, maybe a few of the hundreds who do community work in economically hard times, and why they aren’t towering with resentment about themselves. And leave out former political staffers, please.

"The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise... The storm propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."
- Walter Benjamin
