Brutal. This reads as just lazy. The statistics and supporting research are easy to find…why use A.I. Lazy

This work is so important. Painful to hear, probably even worse to recount, but so important to hear.

Today’s the launch of @tvotoday.bsky.social (MIS)Treated, a podcast on women’s health. Thank you for the support & messages🙏❤️. About 7% of Canada’s federal spending goes to women’s health & women weren’t included in clinical trials until 1993 in USA and 1997 in Canada m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oco...

A Private Equity Giant Took Over African Hospitals. Then the Complaints Rolled In TPG told investors — including the World Bank, the Gates Foundation and Bono — that it would expand access to health care. Whistleblowers say it put profit ahead of patient safety.

Journalism has brought me into contact with a lot of sources who tried to blow the whistle. Often, those people ask to be anonymous. This is the rare story of someone who took on a major Wall Street firm and is willing to tell her story. 🎁 link www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How Climate Change Is Transforming The Soundtrack Of The Natural World | Defector It is easy enough to read about the climate crisis through the dozens of devastating stories that run each week, warning us of the people who will be displaced or otherwise harmed by the planet’s rapi...

Climate change is altering the natural world’s soundscape, with declining bird, insect, and amphibian populations leading to quieter environments. This “sensory extinction” is exacerbated by noise pollution from human activities.

In Canada, heat increases domestic violence | The Narwhal Excessive heat stresses both the body and mind. That leads to a rise in aggression — which harms women, girls and vulnerable communities the most

I would have hedged this headline a bit more because I don’t think there’s clear evidence of causation, but this is a good piece examining links between heat/climate-related disasters and gendered violence, and touching on some policy implications.

Katharine, what would you have made of all this? What would you have made from all of this? Miss your voice.

Enraging to send my kids off to school to sit in a stifling, AC-less room that no public employee would be allowed to work from. These are the results of decisions our government has made, and continues to make, that just plainly don't prioritize children.

Again…You. Are. The. Only. One. Saying that. The point you are making is an attempt to derail a pretty pointed, historical and important thread. You are being willfully obtuse and I don’t have time for it.

Not one person in this whole thread intimated that but you. Everyone in this thread understands the topic…but somehow you’ve missed it. Again, you’ve taken a wrong turn and for whatever reason have decided to go off. (I might know the reason)

Wrong AND weird is correct.

Friend, I’m not sure what brought you to this thread (or that conclusion), but surely, you have taken a wrong turn.

It’s just mud wrestling at this point.

I once dated a guy who was, obviously, not for me. My decision was based on the fact that his love for TTD was bordering on obsession. Those red flags did not stand a chance.
