People always said it must be so awesome to deliver a baby at home, and all I thought about was what could go so horribly wrong, and so many mental scenarios preparing. (30 years, 1 home birth, went well, thank the gods)

All of the Israelis held by Hamas are called “hostages,” including the IDF soliders.

All the Palestinians released, though, are “prisoners,” including the many victims of Israel’s widespread arbitrary detention - meaning they are legally innocent, detained without charge or conviction.

Disgusting.

CBC headline reads: All living Israeli hostages freed, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners released

It's a great home crowd environment but also very welcoming. Of course you have a place to stay if you do.

Well written article regarding physician-paramedic teams for critical trauma. Not convinced they are the way to go (eg put blood on ACP units instead) but worth a real world look.

For a few critically injured patients, the urgent interventions those patients need can only be done at a trauma centre. Can a new model help?

Great little thread about the origins of Thanksgiving in Canada.

Canadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 2d

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.

The table is decorated with pumpkins, sunflowers, candles, and autumnal flowers, with wine glasses and plates set for a meal.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Here’s the thing with sports: when you’re in the high-pressure playoff spaces, it might feel like hell. But that’s the greatest thing about sports fandom: you get to feel it. You get to live and die. Feel it, live it, embrace it. You might never forget it, and how many things are like that?
