Igor Mojayev, 54, lost his 12-year-old daughter and wife to the war in #Ukraine. "She was crushed to death." - His exact word when talking about his daughter, who had been in a wheelchair. He stands next to his house - only rubble now. His dog Gerda survived.

Here's a good example of war misinfo that's plaguing TikTok right now.
This video of a parachuting soldier has 20 million views on TikTok.
The top comment? "Bro is recording an invasion."
But he isn't. This video is from 2016.

I’ve seen a lot of Covid in the ER recently.
With so many people getting infected recently, some folks may wonder what’s the point of getting vaccinated at all?
And is there really any value to a booster dose if I’ve had two Pfizer/Moderna or a shot of J&J?
My observations: 🧵

"The longer vaccine inequity persists, the more opportunity this virus has to spread and evolve in ways we cannot predict nor prevent.

The Omicron variant reflects the threat of prolonged vaccine injustice. The longer we take to deliver #VaccinEquity, the more we allow the #COVID19 virus to circulate, mutate and become potentially more dangerous.

My mother came up to me and said, "You know what happens when you are too hard on yourself? Doubt begins to tear you away from the spaces love has provided. You owe it to yourself to revel in the love you have. Isn't it one of the many reasons why you exist? To be better at love?

It’s been a while since I earned minimum wage so I just wanted to do a quick calculation of how far $15/hr gets you in Toronto.
After tax it’s roughly $2000/month if you work full time.
1 bdrm $1600
Metropass $150
Phone $80
Internet $90
Food $75/week
Total: $2220
Update @CBCNews: Ontario moves to bump minimum wage up to $15 an hour, but faces criticism for scrapping a plan that would have given workers the same wage a lot earlier. cbc.ca/1.6233521

California restored a state park's original Indigenous name, used by Yurok communities before they suffered atrocities and dispossession by colonizers.
Sue-meg State Park was previously named Patrick's Point after an Irish settler accused of murdering an Indigenous child.

One year ago, Joyce Echaquan died in a Quebec hospital. She videotaped nurses taunting her as she lay in bed. Her death sparked a national debate about racism in health care.
