Strangers are just a friend I haven’t met yet. Pro-infection prevention, pro-liberation, pro-filtration, pro-livable climate, pro-fun. I communicate about stuff as a job and for fun. She/her.

Former CBC journalist here... J school 101: Don't normalize propaganda.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Fraser Health is calling this a “service adaptation” The euphemism is misleading: The reality is Delta Hospital’s ER is closed and they’re diverting patients It’s now the 4th Vancouver-area ER to turn away patients This story is from Aug 👇 www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

And @edyong209.bsky.social continues to be a real one.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

CBC is largely publicly funded by tax dollars. The public is saying we don't want this show. So cancel it. You'd think CBC would at least try not to piss off it's supporters and play right into the hands of the conservatives who want to defund it.

I’ve just sent my complaint and you should too.

This would be the happiest day of my life.

Canadian media: Stop normalizing Trump’s 51st State propaganda An editorial by @taylornoakes.bsky.social.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Lol he’s nothing if not consistent

Sunwing flight cancellations. Partly linked to crash related closures at Pearson after the Endeavour Air CRJ crash. What does this say about the Sunwing scheduling and resource allocation? And perhaps more broadly about the state of the aviation system? This is symptomatic of a lack of resilience

Scientists have found enormous columns of methane gas leaking into the atmosphere from Antarctica, with the potential for further leaks amounting to the sum total of what humanity emits over two years. By @manuelansede.bsky.social for El País…

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

I'm living in a city that was brutally bombed for years, and I mean YEARS, every day from just across the border while we were denied the ability to return fire to defend ourselves. We're still bombed, but it's not nearly as intense as when russian missile launchers and

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

There has long been a consistent minimization of and even sneering at attention to the misogynistic aspect of fascism by the mostly white dudes who specialize in talking explicitly about extremism and fascism.

Do people think it’s gonna go like this: “You don’t need that mask” “Oh my god I don’t?? Wow that’s a relief. I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t told me.”

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Again, two of my friends were concussed and a student’s mom had her ribs broken by police when they attacked the students who had *already* started taking the encampment down after 12 hrs. This is wholly rotten

I just came home from some XC skiing with my family and I’m thinking about how activities and hobbies that are intertwined with climate and biodiversity are such an effective gateway for people to become concerned and active in the fight for a livable planet. I pay extreme attention to warming now

GOV. MILLS: “.. Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. .. “.. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

The administrative state is important to the functioning of a society, actually.
