We spend Christmastime with the people we love most. Like we do on birthdays. My birthday happens to be Christmas Day. And this one - the first without my dad - is the worst one of my life. I feel like people on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside would understand. (Story/Thread)

GM to everybody except @PurolatorInc @PurolatorHelp because they are horrible. They lost a laptop+ and pretended it's been stuck in a "rail delay" for over 3 weeks. Finally fessed up that they lost it, ("Sorry for any inconvenience," they said) AND SENT ME A BILL FOR SHIPPING.

Oooh bad sentence. I haven't tweeted in a while. I didn't mean I changed his poopy diapers while I gave a TED talk or that he gave a TED talk while I changed his poopy diapers. There were 15 years in between the two things and hopefully more before he changes mine.

Here's a kid whose poopy diapers I changed giving a @TEDx talk. Zidaan Virani on how the answer to the world's grown up problems might be found in baby talk research. youtu.be/mqKccZrUQoo?si…

Have you ever noticed how password recovery questions include "Who was your favourite schoolteacher?" but never "Who was your favourite Minister of Education?"

That thing people say when someone dies..."I wish I would have told them _____ when I had the chance"... Dr. Darren Markland would never have to say that. He took every chance to lift people up. We'll miss him desperately, but it'll be easier, I think, if we're more like him
Darren Markland@drdagly

So ... to @hakique, @kathryndong, @ehyshka @erdance and all the unsung hero’s who fight for social equity and support of our marginalized populations and for every social worker who’s dug deep for limited resources to the benefit of our patients, I get it. 🙏🙏

So, hypothetically, would the internet be more fussed about a grainy pic of two people cheating at a Coldplay concert or HD video of a state killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians?

DON'T: use urine toxicology testing to "fire" patients or make them feel untrustworthy DO: use it for #AprilFools gags on pre-med students

For those who support criminalization of drugs, I’m curious how you think it’s been positive?

Excellent new op-ed by @maiasz. It’s so important to contextualize our drug crisis in economic and political histories. Read this, and everything else she writes. nytimes.com/2022/09/29/opi…
