2 staff and 3 students borrowed my aranet4 because they were curious about CO2 levels in their life. The aranet4 is a really good device for #CleanAir outreach

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

RFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

Ok. I did it. Thoughts and prayers please.

I paired it with ventilation advice etc and the study on repeat infections increasing the risk of long COVID.

Finally heard back from the ON Ombudsman's office.
Waste of time.
They will not support patients trying to get Canadian Covid Society N95 accommodations in hospitals.

How are we all? I'm standing, not crying, as the Norwegians say. Have lined up a chat with the team leader of another team, fingers crossed they can consider me for any future vacancies.

It has taken over five years of murderous chaos for Republican voters to start to see what was obvious all along: that Donald Trump should not be trusted with a box of matches, let alone the most powerful office on Earth. That's the power of propaganda for you.

Min gammelmormor, Torborg, blev 95 år. Det var inte mycket kvar av henne, sista tiden. Hon krympte. Men hon fick bo kvar i sitt hem, det ville hon. Fick anpassningar, hemtjänst, trygghetslarm. Fick dö hemma, enligt sina önskningar.
