It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade.
If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time.
I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

A tiny thing you can do to make your life better this weekend:
1️⃣ Find the mailing address of someone you care about.
2️⃣ Write that person’s name on an envelope.
3️⃣ Decide what to put inside the envelope.

Or to other congregate spaces. One meaningful way we could be investing in a healthy population is improved indoor air quality in schools, long-term care homes, apartment buidlings, uni residences, correctional centres, etc.
Operating Rooms have always had a large number of air exchanges, up to 20 per hour. In fact when the HVAC goes down we have to wait an hour after it restarts. So ventilation has always been recognized as infection control so it’s a mystery why it hasn’t been applied to the whole hospital.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Nova Scotia’s running a bit of a campaign on these two fellas they have lured from
Florida. Both are medical workers, and they’re married.
I think it’s great we’re trying to attract the people who feel scared or unwelcome, and making a point of saying ‘you don’t need to feel that here, anymore.’

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

For indexing, I can't decide between the belittling "Can't a computer/AI do that?" or the baffling "Do you have to read the whole book?", as if having to read a whole book was some sort of dire punishment #IndexSky
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
