Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

An old friend called
asking about precautions
and after providing
what advice I could
I asked “why now?”
and my old friend explained
that with the premiums
on his health insurance rising
he just can’t afford
(he just knows he can’t afford)
to get sick again.

Hey @samreich.bsky.social MarzGurl is amazing and would be an excellent addition to @dropout.tv 's stellar CC/subtitling team if you're looking ❤️
It is nearly halfway through the month, and literally no one has given me any work. I am starting to become very concerned for how the month will end up.

My preference is to do work, and I look every day. Please forward me any closed caption and subtitle editing work you can.

The waste fraud and abuse is coming from inside the house.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

The EPA says that it will now ignore health benefits and lives saved, and instead only factor in business costs when making new rules on air pollution limits. This is so reckless and make us all sicker.

Fact check: The flu, RSV and COVID are spread primarily through the air. Ventilation, masking and staying home when sick matter much more than Clorox wipes.

It seems hopeless when we have Insta 'health influencers' with 1M+ followers spreading droplet dogma

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

What do these companies have in common?

-Cigna
-Comcast
-General Mills
-Allstate
-Marriott
-Hilton
-Walmart
-Amazon
-Microsoft
-Meta

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere.

We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk.

Airborne viruses are no different

With Canada's ER problem that is now in the global public eye, we can't afford to be flippant about preventable infectious diseases like COVID & influenza, because they contribute to surging capacity in ER. Airborne mitigations now
I am positive that severe overcrowding was a major factor in delays to care, and that his prolonged waiting did NOT improve anything in this pt's case.

The institutional response will be to try to blame one single HCW for this tragic outcome...

Subplots:

- evidence doesn’t reach police because it’s sent as the boat enters an area with no reception and blanc doesn’t know about no wifi

- someone’s alibi about having a Phillips soda falls apart because blanc finds out none of the vending machines work

- someone stays below deck to nap
Knives Out but the murder happens on a BC Ferry that Benoit Blanc is already on and the boat can’t dock until he solves the crime

In this scenario some people are headed to a retreat on a Gulf Island, there’s a high school sports team on board, and the car alarms never stop

We need those who claim to be “left” to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised.

Masking is resistance.

It’s community care.

The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you won’t fight back.

Healthcare is being gutted.

There’s never been a better time to mask

Keeping a bat next to your bed at night won't keep you safe.

Sleep in a crypt with thousands of bats. Your adversaries won't want to tangle with a whole swarm of angry little draculas.

BC folks: Ahhhh Abbotsford floods ALL the time what gives??

Me: It was called Sema:th Lake. Because the Sema:th lived there and told you it flooded every year, but you drained the lake to drive them off their land and to expose fertile farmland, then built a city WHERE THE LAKE SHOULD GO
