Good air quality in schools improves children’s health, reduces the spread of infections, and boosts test scores, yet the Ontario govt has refused to set air quality standards or require any kind of reporting. Sign our petition to improve air quality: chandrapasma.ca/improving_ai…

The manipulation of public opinion on covid has been intense & successful. Most ppl I know believe 3-6 of these. They're all lies 🧵
1. Lockdowns weakened immune systems
2. Like a cold/flu
3. Kids don't spread it
4. It's seasonal
5. Masks don't work
6. No one dies of covid now

Ontario has $22 billion in unspent funds, plenty for @fordnation @sflecce to ensure #CleanAirForAll in all Ontario schools and daycares! We have 2+ months until schools open again in the fall. Let's advocate together for a #SafeSeptember for students and workers. #onted

What makes a game a “classic”?
I'm working with a student who is researching the relationship between which games are considered “classics” and demographic factors (esp age). We invite everyone who is 18+ to complete this very short survey:

It's so incredibly frustrating to me to watch intelligent people argue the same flawed arguments over and over and over again.
1) masks absolutely are capable of filtering out the particles carrying viruses.
2) if masks are less effective at a population level than they are
