  1. #Mastodon voice messages?

    "Make social vocal" ?

    #Idea #suggestion #BOOST #dev

    Voice #filters added for #privacy?
    (like #TikTok funny voice masks but more human sounding?)

    = voice messages + #masks / filters ?

    (a risk but much more #progressive #P2P)

    Protection with a voice 'mask'.

    What do you think ?

    (Text is limited = can't cover the human expression range like voice and for some text isn't possible / too hard).

    Also #Jitsi (meet.osna.social/) + integrated voice #masks?

  7. 'Dangerous' air quality in Detroit, Minneapolis as thick wildfire smoke shrouds the sky for millions

    Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve.

    By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist

    Published Jul 15, 2026 11:50 AM EDT | Updated Jul 16, 2026

    " Massive plumes of smoke are descending across parts of Canada and the United States, creating dangerous air quality and scenes reminiscent of the historic wildfire smoke outbreak from three summers ago.

    " 'In 2023, a major fire outbreak in Quebec caused days of unhealthy air quality in the northeastern U.S.,' AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin said. 'This event could cause similar levels of poor air quality in spots.'

    "Air quality alerts have been issued for millions of people, including across all of #Connecticut, #Delaware, #Massachusetts, #Michigan, #NewHampshire, #NewJersey, #NewYork, #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #Wisconsin.

    "Over 800 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, including dozens that are out of control across western #Ontario, the source of most of the smoke. 'Many of these fires may have been started by lightning,' AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.

    "On Wednesday, #Toronto had some of the worst air quality in North America, reaching 'very unhealthy' levels with an AQI of 220. #BostonMA was not far behind with an unhealthy AQI of 147.

    " 'When the AQI climbs into the 150+ range for a full day outside, that’s in the ballpark of [smoking] 7 to 9 cigarettes,' Dr. Jonathan M. Tan, division chief of General Anesthesiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told AccuWeather.

    "Conditions deteriorated by Thursday morning, with widespread "dangerous" air quality across nearly all the Great Lakes region and into parts of the Northeast. Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, as well as Detroit, were among the worst cities at daybreak Thursday, with AQIs over 340.

    " 'Any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, can lead to serious health effects on everybody,' Plume Labs said.
    Avoid outdoor activities.' "

  8. Canadian #wildfire smoke turns air hazardous in the US #Midwest. Officials say stay inside

    By TAMMY WEBBER and PHILIP MARCELO, July 16, 2026

    NEW YORK (AP) — "Heavy, pungent smoke from #CanadianWildfires darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the #GreatLakes to parts of the #EastCoast, reducing visibility for commuters and prompting warnings that air quality could make being outside dangerous.

    "#Detroit’s air quality was among the worst in the world for major cities, as a lingering high pressure system trapped smoke from dozens of fires in Canada and northern Minnesota, said Steven Freitag, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Pontiac, Michigan.

    " 'Sure enough, it arrived in force here and it’s really pretty extreme levels,' said Freitag, who noted that visibility in some areas was reduced to a half mile.

    "Omar Mitchell wore a mask as he walked to his restaurant in Detroit. He said he urged his employees to do the same.

    " 'It’s scary,' Mitchell, 50, said as he looked at the sky. 'You don’t know necessarily what the side effects may be. That’s days or months later.'

    "Cities across the Great Lakes states registered air quality ranging from unhealthy to hazardous — which means it’s unhealthy for anyone, regardless of health conditions. Microscopic particles can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to heart and lung problems and contributing to other long-term health issues.

    "All of #Michigan and much of #Minnesota were under a hazardous #AirQualityAlert. In the Chicago area, air quality ranged from very unhealthy to hazardous.

    "National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr said even if winds from the northwest clear skies as expected later this week, the smoky air could keep returning until the fires are out. That could take weeks or longer.

    " 'Anytime we have something that could bring air from that region until the fires are over, it could conceivably dip back into the area,' Petr said.

    "In #SaintPaulMN, the air was 'glowing yellow,' said Brent Williams, head of the soil, water and climate department at the University of Minnesota, who said the area 'could be looking at weeks to months of continued smoke and flare-ups off and on as the winds blow in different directions.'

    "A study published this year found that long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke contributed to an average of 24,100 deaths a year in the lower 48 states. Long-term exposure can make existing health problems worse and lead to a range of chronic and deadly health issues, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and premature death."

  9. The Dance of Dissonance

    Sometimes 
    I find myself lost
    at the end of
    a confusing day
    trying to decipher labyrinthian relations
    and coming up short,
    suddenly wondering
    how a day I thought good
    was not for another,
    caught up in
    opposing realities
    where mine is suspect
    and empathy is a struggle.

    The brain fog
    of past illness
    has left its trailing
    fingers over my head
    like the cigarette smoke
    of the man I see one morning standing with his back to me on the dock outside the store where I used to work
    and I wonder why he is there.

    I am suspicious, feeling responsible for what is no longer mine to care about, so I observe, yet remain at a distance and leave without really discovering if his presence is innocent.

    Such is the dance of dissonance.
    I am close enough to see your back but too far to see your face clearly,
    afraid that if I look too closely I will not like what  I see or that I will recognize some ugly part of me.

    I want to hear
    that which runs
    counter to my experience
    but I must be honest and say that my capacity to understand the complexities of human behavior is diminishing.

    I long for circles that are completely safe,
    where the people I pass on the walk home illicit in me feelings other than fear,
    lust, guilt, or judgement,
    all of which mirror
    the overwhelming sense
    of dislike
    I feel from the
    world, and from myself perhaps.

    It is my inability to not receive everything personally, this overwhelming sadness,  unprotected by my hypervigilance, where I still seem to miss what is most important, and no matter how much I try to hold everything together, I cannot keep things from unraveling.

    How do I continue to remain caring and yet not take on burdens that are not mine to carry?

    This then is the strange choreography of relationship, the stumbling herky-jerky movements of a marionette pulled by invisible strings, revealed in the bright lights of another angry stage.

    Yet we dance.
    Through the pain of revelation.
    The occasional stepping on of toes.
    In the percieved exposure of audience eyes.
    Shedding these inadequate masks and costumes one by one.
    Finding our own rhythm in the strange movings of this particular
    circle of love.

  17. #SantaCruz County Health Officer Lisa Hernandez declared that, starting Nov. 1, #masks will be required among all visitors and personnel working in local acute care facilities, #nursing facilities, #surgical and #maternity centers and #infusion centers….The order applies to all health care personnel and visitors regardless of vaccination status and masks must be worn at all times while indoors and conducting direct patient care or while visiting patient care areas.” santacruzsentinel.com/2024/09/

  19. Photos from various medical conferences in 2021-22 show large groups of people with barely a mask in site. If you've been to recent #medical conferences I'm curious for the reasons for low numbers of #masks. If you were at a conference why did you, or did not, wear a mask? What have you heard people say about it?
    On the other hand, various science fiction conferences which have hundreds of attendees require vaccination proof, masking and will throw people out who don't follow the rules. Like the policy for this one in Ottawa:

    Well, we now know how to stop #airborne #pandemics.

    (#CovidIsAirborne; #FluIsAirborne)

    We stop it with #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes. And with #N95 / #N99 / #P100 #elastomeric #respirator #masks.

    But right now DOCTORS are blithely mass-infecting patients -- and of course nowhere else is doing anything either -- so our society is basically doing nothing and helping the virus spread.

    We should try doing something.

  21. New eligibility for PCR testing in Ontario.
    #Covid symptoms plus
    ➡️Everyone >60y
    ➡️>18y with a high-risk condition
    ➡️>18y with <2 vaccine doses
    ➡️>18y with >6m since last vaccine or last Covid infection
    ➡️ all the previously eligible groups (frontline workers, pregnant people, people who are immunocompromised etc)

    ontario.ca/page/covid-19-testi

    #Paxlovid eligibility expanded too (same page, scroll down):
    ➡️Everyone >60y
    ➡️>18y with a high-risk condition or immunocompromised
    ➡️>18y with <2 vaccine doses
    ➡️>18y with >6m since last vaccine or last Covid infection

    Where to get tested:

    Self-certify 'I'm eligible' if you are in one of those groups.

    Don't rely on test-and-treat or vaccination. Prevent community transmission to a vulnerable person and prevent #LongCovid with #Masks and #Ventilation

  22. @munkinasack @amcglothin @darnell @ZeroCovidColin Yeah, that's a good writeup.... but it omits the most important thing.

    I just keep repeating the same thing, since Jetelina doesn't mention it.

    #N95, #P100, #KF94 (etc) #respirator #masks work very well against *all* variants. #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes do too.

    They also work against #Flu & #RSV.

    Variants evolve to evade immunity -- they cannot evolve to evade masks & air filters, not significantly. #CovidIsAirborne #CleanTheAir

  23. This morning, I did my best to introduce Ryan Jespersen and his audience to #Mastodon - in a WIDE ranging conversation that covered everything from #soilhealth to #Hanukkah to #antisemitism to #masks to that #CactusClub lady from Toronto Life.

  25. Canadians, do you want your jobs and your lawful freedoms back?
    Do you want the vax passport and the fines to be dropped?
    Do you want to be on the right side of history and of the law?
    Yes? With enough signatures, this Memorandum of Agreement can do all that and then some!
    If you said yes - then please help defend our Canadian lawful freedom of choice and #SignTheMOU!
