"Most non disabled people are unable to face the fact that health is temporary. That all it takes is one virus, accident or stroke of bad luck to leave you permanently disabled. They don’t want to face it, so they blame us for our illnesses and tell themselves it can’t possibly happen to them."

We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

This is 💩 for the same reason those "Make America Feminist for Once" or "Canada is not for sale" (in the same font) hats are 💩. You think you're doing something subversive, but it's a rhetorical tool that plays into the hand of the oppressor because you are ultimately still advertising them.

I've spent the last few years defending CBC from Poilievre's "Defund the CBC" messaging but this? This is indefensible. Why don't people realize that "Just asking Qs" is playing into Trump's hand? When even the CBC is doing clickbait about Canada being invaded, we are in dire, dire straights.

If you do call in tomorrow, here’s what you can ask: “Why did you choose the question you did instead of: “What do you think about Trump’s violation of international law by threatening to annex Canada?”?” (feel free to lie about what you’re going to say when you talk to the screener when you call)

If you want to share your concerns with CBC about the “51st state” Cross-country Eff-up, I’m told the emails to use are [email protected] and [email protected] for the ombudsperson and editor in chief respectively

"should canada become the 51st state? we had a civil debate with people on both sides of the aisle instead of doing what we should have done, which is flipping the aisle the double bird before setting it on fire"

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

C-SPAN is now advertising @ianhanomansing.bsky.social’s proposed program on CBC as “CBC News Simulcast of Canada as the 51st State Proposal”. Canada’s sovereignty is being threatened. You can file a complaint with the CBC Ombudsman: cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman... #cdnpoli #canpoli

Oh my god, how are y'all still not getting this? The title of the program is using and normalizing Trump's phrasing. Before the program has even aired, it's already functioning pro-annexation propaganda. You have already demonstrated a lack of care.

I think both this petition and the one it's a reply to are important, because if carried out (especially at the same time) they'd make a rich, Nazi-saluting asshole delightfully upset.

There was also the Cross Country Checkup on MAID where the CBC tried to 2-sides offering euthanasia to mentally ill folks, without first solving the societal issues that drive them to crisis such as homelessness, poverty, loneliness, lack of access to doctors, etc

If you're wondering how some of CBC's senior reporters are handling the threat to our sovereignty, well it's uh, very bad

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

One of my issues as a writer is that I treat every scene like it’s The Only Scene and not part of a whole. You’d think this would make me good at short fic, but my tendency to noodle with scenes until I get sick of them and don’t know what to do with them makes me bad at shorts.

The firings from the CDC and FDA are devastating. Just looking at how they gutted the medical device review part of the FDA. We already have an issue with medical devices not being appropriately scrutinized. Will we be able to trust any new devices going forward?

Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.
