If any Western journalist was subjected to this horror, every reporter and media organization would condemn it. There would be no hiding behind some convenient interpretation of objectivity or neutrality because everyone would suddenly remember that silence is neither.

Covid isn’t a small potatoes health risk. It causes a 1900% increase in risk of heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism in the week after infection. After a year, that risk is still 30% higher than baseline.

thinking about bourdain’s episode in palestine today. CNN almost didn’t air it but he fought like hell to keep the episode and share their stories since mainstream media so rarely gave the opportunity to empathize with the every day of palestinians.
"One of the most powerful military forces on Earth has no choice but to slaughter members of an imprisoned civilian population so that justice can prevail" must be such a liberating position to take. Just complete moral weightlessness.

Life can be short, but life can be full. The past 5 years has seen trauma, but also so many opportunities to lean into love and communion. What is healing really but learning how to go on despite it all. This is me...
And in troubled times (these last 5 years, AMIRITE), I feel blessed to have a greater understanding that hope is a bold and muscular act, that we can choose to connect rather than divide, that love and beauty are not finite, that healing is possible...
Teva believed deeply that saying yes to life was not solely a selfish act, but necessary in order to live fully in a world full of nuance and complexity. And that saying yes often meant uplifting her community through the muscle of hope. This is something that sticks with me...
And especially now, while people argue in bad faith, while algorithms drive us from each other, while misanthropes and cynics push us all to the extremes, connection is everything. @robotpilot was beloved by many for her presence and her care. There's a lesson there...
@robotpilot So I guess, on this 5 year anniversary of the death of a magnificently glowing person, maybe try a little harder to give back a bit, to yield, to believe, to hope, to search for beauty. Life can be short, but life can be full.
@robotpilot O...and I suppose I should also mention that the Teva Harrison Foundation continues, has now collected more than $50,000 directly for metastatic cancer causes that she cared about. I will make my annual donation on the anniversary tomorrow in her honour: torontofoundation.ca/teva-harrison-…
The most significant story from Trump's trial is outside the courtroom where the crowds that once appeared to support him are not there. The trial is about 2020; the quiet is about 2024. Remarkable.
I’m British Monarchy neutral but the new statue of Britain’s longest serving monarch is delightful. Mostly because of the Corgis.
It is outrageous that the Toronto Public Library (@torontolibrary) removed the poem "If I Must Die" by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer, capitulating to complaints from a pro-Israel group. Refaat's poem has been widely shared after he was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.
The Anti-Racism Program of the CJPME Foundation condemns @torontolibrary's decision to remove the poem "If I Must Die" by Refaat Alareer, capitulating to pressures from a pro-Israel group. To some, Palestinians are unworthy of a dignified life or death. cjpmefoundation.org/2024_04_22_arp…
