The Greatest Feeling in the World Seven months with an electric bike.

“When I got home, I sat on the floor, wearing my helmet, and sobbed until I was hoarse with the overwhelm of my joy. I’d just ridden a bike for an hour! A bike! For an hour!”

The “greatest feeling in the world” after Long COVID. E-bikes and accessibility, via @heatherhogan.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

“Because cycling enabled me to connect to the disability community, my understanding of transportation needs is broader, and I use this knowledge to be a better advocate for transportation infrastructure that better meets everyone’s needs.” Via @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social

Tomorrow’s AI models are learning from today’s polluted research The research ecosystems AI models train on are changing in ways policymakers aren't yet attuned to.

MAHA-aligned research is entering the training data of AI models that millions of people (and increasingly governments) rely on.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Having visions of a really stupid possible future in which the BC Cons sail to victory on the waves of people's discontent with what permanent DST actually looks like, despite calling for it for years.

People vote based on vibes. Should've been permanent ST.

“For generations, women have been instrumental in keeping languages and cultures alive. As leaders in politics, diplomacy and public service, they bring lived experience and perspectives that inform critical decisions and promote meaningful progress.”

The museum also has a intermittent live show on this day too:

"Between 1:00pm and 3:00pm, artist Emily van Lidth de Jeude will present (dis)robe: Hospital Gown, a short live art performance, multiple times. She will also share poetry at 1:30pm."

Photo of a person with short brown hair with their hands over their face, lying down with a blue blanket around their torso. Dozens of medications and supplements are arranged around their head and shoulders. Caption, on a navy blue and teal gradient background: “Is it really invisible or are you not looking hard enough? Just because you can’t see us doesn’t mean we don’t exist. Just because our tests are normal doesn’t mean we are not sick.” — Ferin Adams-Waneka

On until March 22, the @museumofvan.bsky.social's “Living with Long COVID” exhibition candidly documents the often-invisible daily life of 46 people living with Long Covid.

Persistent attenuation of lymphocyte subsets after mass SARS-CoV-2 infection Growing evidence suggests that lymphocyte subsets are declined in COVID-19 patients, but it is unclear if these alterations persist after widespread e…

“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”

At this point, I genuinely have no ability to comprehend how is anyone not scared sh*t-less about the long-term consequences of infections, especially on kids?

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I value empathy & I’m finding it challenging currently…with all the research we now have access to, thinking ahead 15 or 20yrs, what are science-literate people planning to tell their kids…sorry about your lifetime of illness, but people made fun so we went maskless?! Sorry for the snark.

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

Adults are carelessly allowing untold millions of children to suffer repeated infections during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

Every Covid-19 infection can lead to cardiovascular conditions and symptoms.

Graphic featuring a quote in the centre, which reads: “Covid-19 has a profound and lasting impact on cardiovascular health, with complications emerging during acute illness, recovery, and even after reinfections or vaccination.” Dr. Vassilios Vassiliou, lead author of “Cardiovascular disease prevention and management in Covid-19,” a clinical consensus statement The text is placed on a background showing an ECG chart with a subtle navy and teal gradient overlay.

There is strong research evidence that Covid-19 and Long Covid increase the risk of many cardiovascular conditions, including heart attacks, clotting events, POTS, vascular ageing and more.

Babies with COVID-19 develop more serious disease than those with RSV, US data reveal

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

David Eby, on camera, admits that he axed the carbon tax because of corporate lobbying. Cutting it made life more expensive for workers and cheaper for big polluters.

He says BC is too dependent on resource extraction - and yet their plan is to triple down on American-owned gas projects.

Carney endorsing Trump's *actions* was never the biggest problem here. Just as clearly, and far worse, he endorses Trump's & Netanyahu’s *justifications.*

He doesn’t want to appear supportive of Trump’s *methods,* but very firmly continues to back Trump's & Netanyahu's *narrative.* 19/

what's happening right now in what we loosely call the Middle East is Jenga

"First Nations rights and title are not just an aspiration, they must be honoured and respected, and this decision by the government of British Columbia totally goes against that."
