Very sad to hear of the passing of ⁦Dorothy E Smith⁩ whose work on institutional ethnography was hugely influential to me and so others across disciplines #qualitativemethodology #ethnography #institutionalethnography youtu.be/MOO9fLT9r-Q

Dorothy Smith passed away on the 3rd of June. She passed away in her granddaughter Calla's arms, surrounded by love. Dorothy completely reshaped the structure of our society but most importantly to her, she changed individuals lives. #InstitutionalEthnography #DorothySmith

One of my students is in the news! emma 'phoebe fan' mckay was interviewed by APS about whether we should build quantum computers given their dubious benefits to society: aps.org/publications/a…

Part of the reason disabled folks seem so DESPERATE when we’re begging folks to get this pandemic under control is because we know what happens next is a more systematic extermination of the “burdens” on the overtaxed healthcare system. Don’t believe us? Take a look…

In Canada, legalized euthanasia (MAID) has become the sixth leading cause of death - and as many disabled activists have reported, a number of the disabled Canadians lost to MAID were *not* terminal, but were approved for MAID due to a lack of access to housing, support, etc

In other words, Canada is allowing non-terminal disabled ppl to be euthanized for no other reason than agreement the system is failing them in regards to housing, support, etc Rather than FIXING those gaps in support, they’re coaching patients that perhaps life isn’t for them.

Questions about #LongCovid? Hear from clinicians treating Long Covid patients, Drs. Rae Duncan and Claire Taylor, answer your questions during our #TwitterSpaces event on Aug. 25th at 10 AM ET. Set a reminder with the link! #COVID19 #NotRecovered x.com/i/spaces/1mnGe…

Over two and half years suffering from #longcovid . We are still #NotRecovered . We need treatments. Covid is not over and either is the potential for you to get debilitating symptoms from it. Everyone should care care about a cure for long Covid.

#MillionsMissing refers to millions of #mecfs patients missing from their lives, and millions (billions, really) of dollars in lost wages missing from the economy. Millions more patients could go missing due #longcovid. What's needed is an urgent, ambitious national action plan.

Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all). Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?” City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.”

#MillionsMissing is Monday! For those taking action from home, our Activism From Home Toolkit is filled w/ actions to take depending on your energy levels using the spoon theory. You can choose to do 1 action or you can do them all! See all actions below! ow.ly/ECZu50KIlQC

Masking is a radical act of love. ❤️😷❤️😷❤️ #BringBackMasks

Overheard someone say “It seems like Covid is coming back” at the grocery store today, and I was very pleased to hear a lady reply “it never went anywhere my dear, and you should be wearing a mask”. You can be proud of a stranger right? #BringBackMasks #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver

Most high risk folks I know never stopped masking. But one-way masking is sadly not enough to keep us all safe. It’s time to #BringBackMasks in indoor spaces. Vaccines alone will not be able to get us through cold and flu season AND this 8th COVID wave.

…and #BringBackMasks is trending again. And yes, I will tweet about it every time it goes viral because the more people who wear fitted masks the more preventable infections, #LongCovid, and deaths we can stop 🛑 ✋
