#BlackMastodon since joining Mastodon, have you received advice, policy, or warning to put content about racism behind CWs?

Every year we blog about the top nephrology stories of the year

Who is Taylor Lorenz and why should we care?

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.

My Twitter account is no longer permanently suspended, but now it's locked unless I delete a specific tweet that billionaire Elon Musk doesn't like

He waited until everyone on the East Coast was asleep to suspend @taylorlorenz, a frequent target of far right threats and harassment.

Sheer cowardice.

Bischoff et al, 2013: 89% of #influenza-carrying particles were under 4µm in diameter (i.e. #aerosols). By one reckoning (the low HID50 of 90 RNA copies), 35% of #flu sufferers are infectious at 1 meter. This is without #aerosol generating procedures.

Anyone… and I mean ANYONE want to hire my #Canadian wife in the United States? We’ll go anywhere.

I need to get back home, and as quickly as possible.

A green card application for us could take 12-20 months. A work visa would be ideal. She is Master’s level educated, works in #Banking w/ #Tech and #ProjectManagement experience.

I am chronically ill and need help asap.

Boosts appreciated.

Great to see that the Ottawa Public Library has 28 CO2 monitors that people can check out and borrow to verify ventilation in various spaces they visit. If you live in Ottawa these are now available if you want to try one out ( https://cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-library-carbon-dioxide-detectors-borrow-1.6678651 ).

Climate policy that relies on a shift to #ElectricCars risks entrenching existing inequities. Among MANY reasons to conclude that “better cars” alone won’t get us where we need to be, and in fact create/continue many issues & challenges. Fewer cars, less driving, more choices & better cities are all badly needed.

Today Ontario New Democrats #MaritStiles and I joined #CrystalQuartz, a drag artist who has been targeted by hate groups, to show love and support for 2SLGBTQ+ Ontarians. Thank you #Hamilton for the groundswell of love you showed her ⁠— ensuring a full house of allies turned out. #OnPoli #lgbt #lgbtq #2SLGBTQIA #ndp #Ontario #drag
