I've been casually asking community workers and others whose job it is to help people find doctors if they have been having any success and I've now heard multiple experiences similar to mine. Paging BC journalism to do some journalism. Here's what happens...

SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024

"Fans are not effective at cooling down the human body in temperatures over 33 degrees Celsius, a new Canadian study has found." Told you so BC Coroner chair of death panel who kept insisting they were 'greener' solution than a/c. castanet.net/news/Canada/48…

Very honoured to have an essay of mine published in the new anthology edited by the amazing Alice Wong 王美華 Disability Intimacy

There’s probably a non-zero number of stalking victims who are alive because of that geogueser guy’s TikToks. Straight up security awareness angel. That motherfucker sees a tree in a picture and knows what street you live on.

It’s not public event but sharing bc I believe it is a hopeful sign. Vancouver Coastal Health has invited Trudo Lemmens & I to present our paper which applies Martha LA Fineman’s Vulnerability Theory to 2021 BC heat dome. Goal is to create better adaptation & emergency planning.

No changes to pronouns, eh? So they have to pick one? Depending on context, I might be referred to by many pronouns - I, me, my, myself, he, him, himself, his, they, them, their, whom, whose... And that's only in English. What about French class?
