Madonna and her children. Funny how you didn't use a photo such as this.
And how many people died thanks to the Reagans' stance on AIDS in the 1980s?
@Kanye868
My first dog would head to bed. A few minutes later he'd come back into the living room. Look at the guests, look at the front door, sigh, and then go back to bed. Repeat. They'd usually get the hint.
We lost Nix today. He got very sick on Thursday and rapidly declined. I promised him when he was a puppy that I would never let him suffer. And he got to take Chris and I on one last road trip to Washington, DC. Still, we're heartbroken.
@MaximeBernier
Both those wearing seatbelts and those not wearing seatbelts can get in car accidents.
Both those using birth control and those not using birth control can get pregnant.
Both smokers and nonsmokers can get lung cancer.
This is the very real, life-threatening danger of conspiracy theories. This woman - a seemingly educated woman - is willing to risk dying because she’s been sucked in by the lies and disinformation of vaccine conspiracy theories.
Blood transfusions with unvaccinated blood:
My Oncologist advises me that I need an urgent blood transfusion as I’m anaemic.
But the NHS don’t provide unvaccinated blood transfusions.
I have donors but I now need someone to perform one for me.
Any ideas??
I’m hearing some nasty things happening in the wake of UWO’s updated mask/vax announcement. I will never forgive those who politicized wearing a mask. And for fuck sake, wearing a bra is a thousand times more uncomfortable than wearing a damn mask.
@PharmacistMama
From someone who studies extremists, I'd send this to your local police just to let them know it arrived. The woman behind it isn't scary, but some of her followers can be. Feel free to DM when you have a second to breathe and I can explain more.
@FenixAmmunition
How is it that I, as a Canadian, understand that the immorality and horror of Tuskegee was the *withholding* of life-saving medication and you don’t?
When you've blown up your career because you don't know how to do proper historical research and then have absolutely nothing left to fall back, it seems you work really hard to turn the disinformation dozen into the loony tunes baker's dozen. How utterly, pathetically sad.

When 4 members of a Muslim family were murdered in London, Ontario, and a public memorial was held one hot summer night, members of a local Sikh temple arrived with two pick-up trucks full of cases of bottled water. No PR. No signs. No self-congratulations. They simply acted.

Congratulations on missing the entire point on this lovely and heartfelt thread. Religion is not the main event for many.
Yet again I’m reminded of that paraphrased saying that ‘I like your Christianity. It’s your Christians I find troubling.’

He's wants a tweet taken down but then proceeds to read this tweet into the record that will then be preserved for all of eternity? This tweet that I missed earlier and have now read and liked?

One common trick of conspiracy theorists is to allude to some omnipresent 'they'.
And then to say 'people still don't know the truth' as if he alone is so special and has unique insight.
PS Smallpox vaccine *was* effective, as is the MMR, COVID, flu et al vaccines.
Is there anything that the clearly all mighty and omnipresent Meghan will not be blamed for? Good lord, the utter lack of honesty and self-responsibility here is amazing. And shame on the media for continuing to perpetuate this self-serving bollocks.
EXCLUSIVE: Friends of Kate Middleton have blamed “intense stress,” including the fall-out from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s repeated denunciations of her and Prince William, as being at least partly responsible for her absence from public life.

Ah, nice moving of the goalposts there. You go to the doctor’s office or pharmacy or clinic to get a vaccine, you give consent. Your choice.
Please show me one incident of anyone being taken from their home at gunpoint, strapped to a table, and forcibly injected with a vaccine.

All righty people. It's now October 2023 that we, the vaccinated, will begin dying off, this time from a 5G-triggered Marburg virus implanted in the vaccine by 'the government'. Is this 'the' NWO/One World/Deep State government, you might ask? Stay tuned.....

The answer to this is found in most documentaries on 9/11 -- when the planes hit, the jet fuel went right down the elevator shaft and exploded out into the lobbies. When firefighters arrived, the lobbies were strewn with burnt corpses. Also explains the lack of any elevators.

LBJ: he’d strong arm Congress to get their shit together.
HST or BHO: legislation for health care and actual compassion.
FDR: willing to experiment until he found something that worked.
Somehow, against all odds, anti vaxxers are becoming more and more unhinged, more and more stupid, and more and more batshit crazy. How anyone believes this crap on a cracker is beyond me, and I study conspiracy theories for a living.
Took the vaccine, have no Asian relatives in your family tree and you and your husband give birth to an Asian baby? It's because the vaccine they injected into your body contains the DNA from those baby parts they used so whatever nationality that particular baby was, DNA has

, over the summer when my anxiety was out of control my therapist recommended doing word puzzles. They give me something cognitive and active to focus on and sometimes just that few minutes circuit breaker can help stop my mental loop of doom.

Not an atheist but this is arrogant and infuriating. At least atheists are good, loving, decent, humble people for the sake of being good, loving, decent, humble people rather than *having to be* good, loving, decent, humble people to earn some possible reward in the afterlife.
Every health unit in Ontario needs to create a sign up list for those of us willing to drop everything at the end of the day to drive anywhere to get vaccinated with leftover vaccines so not a drop is wasted.

begin into these horrific allegations, I don’t want to hear a single person say women need to modify their behavior.
Parents need to raise sons to know right from wrong; that you are not entitled to sex w/o consent; no means no.
I’m trying to figure out where the depth of my (and it appears, others) anger is coming from today.
I think we’re done. Not with the pandemic - COVID doesn’t give two fucks about our feelings.
But we’re done with the other pandemic. The disinformation. The conspiracies. ...
This is what happens when you destroy your career on live radio and have absolutely no credibility left. You keep going deeper and deeper into shameful obscurity because these lies are all you desperately have left.
The weird thing is that I was not an "anti-vaxxer". I did not really care about the issue and thought it was not my fight. Then they tried to murder and sterilize everyone...
Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.

She gives her real motive away in a comment when she says the home birth industry (of which she is a part) is growing and can’t be stopped.
I love the fact that Trump was finally held to account by Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen, and 12 men and women who the fascist buffoon would think were beneath him.
Two types of people in the world. Those who believe and more importantly act to show that every life is of equal value and those (
@BernieSpofforth
) who believe some lives are expendable.
Question for all these antivaxxers and using ‘my body, my choice’:
Does this mean I could smoke anywhere I wanted to, including in your work place or where your kids go to school? It’s my body and my choice, correct? By your logic you can’t tell me what to do or what not to do.

For those happily oblivious to white nationalism and David Lane, the 14 words = "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."
So whenever you see a 1488 tattoo, you now know 14 = 14 words, and 88 = HH (H = 8th letter of the alphabet).

vaccine -- flu-like symptoms 36 hours after; hives a few days after that; then a headache from hell these past few days that nothing could touch. But given the alternative of getting COVID or passing on COVID, it's a minor price to pay.
If you were sexually assaulted while wearing a button-down/jeans or croptop/microshorts, you are not at fault.
If you were sexually assaulted while drinking tea or tequila shots, you are not at fault.
If you were sexually assault while awake or passed out, you are not at fault.
As most university classes are back in person as of Jan. 31st because administrators have decided everything is completely safe, I'm assuming then all university faculty and administrators meetings will also then be in person.
@blacklionking73
👏👏👏👏 Good on you!
Looked at your twitter bio, saw your books, read amazing reviews and ordered Razorblade Tears. Good internet news and a new author to discover!
I’ve reached out to my therapist as I’ve been struggling lately.
I’m not embarrassed nor ashamed. I need help and there are experts that can help me. I’d be crazy (😉) not to seek them out.
Happy Monday morning. Conspiracy theorists are all atwitter not because various drugstores are voluntarily pulling certain cold medicines because they don't work but because this has to be some deep state government plot to do something bad to ... someone.

Never boring.
What a heartless, ignorant asshole. He claims he will never be victim of a mass shooting because he is armed. Tell that to the innocent children at Uvalde who were slaughtered when the grown ass cowards with guns stood around and did nothing. Pro-life? Fuck off.
Well, after eons of not dealing with how hard the holidays have been (loss, trauma, fall out of addiction) everything came crashing down last night and I had a major meltdown. I’m fine (though need to restock Kleenex 🙄 ). I’m only sharing this so others know they are not alone.

COVID is not over despite what our senior admins have told us. Do they realized how many of our students are off sick with COVID? How many of our students are coming class sick, not having to wear masks outside of the classroom? 🤬🤧😷

At least 1 of every 42 people couldn't go to school or work or had trouble doing other daily life activities.
Dear students.
You have no idea how much those sweet personal notes you add to the end of exams or emails you send mean to us, especially these days. Thank you.
What a horrible decision to do away with mandatory masks on campus. Masks are such a simple tool to keep everyone safe, and I will never forgive those who politicized the wearing of them.
Stop comparing vaccines to the Holocaust.
Stop comparing vaccine passports to the Holocaust.
Stop comparing masks to the Holocaust.
All you are doing is broadcasting your profound ignorance of history, of science, and of public health.
A huge thank you to everyone who has checked in and sent kind words and hugs. I’m hurting and grieving but have a call into a my therapist as I need help not to get lost in this sorrow. I hopefully soon will rejoin you in battle against anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. 💔💕
