Thread in essay format + unedited slides: docs.google.com/document/d/1... I will begin with a brief timeline of how the BCCDC has worsened COVID-19 related programs & why they matter: 4/16: The amount and timeliness of SARS-CoV-2 sample data uploaded to GISAID deteriorated. 3/?

I have been trying to raise awareness about the recent cuts to pandemic preparedness by provincial institutions in BC for the past 1½ months. Most of the cuts were not announced to the public beforehand and media coverage has been scant. 1/?

Hey, @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social. Thank you for sharing your story. @theresisters.bsky.social has been talking about the realities and #RippleEffectsOfCovid through >80 audio spaces. We’d love to have a chat with you about what your family experienced. Interested? @coopspeak.bsky.social

More unpaid work falling to women. Crises lead to an increase in women’s crises. @coopspeak.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social

He is so spiteful.

Woo hoo. Canada needs this!! One game to go! #ElbowsUp #BlueJays

For sure! How awful for all those who are now in more potentially dangerous health situations.

Put it in the Louvre. But, like, with guards or something.

Our pleasure!

I think safer hours should be available for everything… from haircuts to cinemas… of course agree with grocery shopping… Also, pharmacies and other healthcare should permanently maintain safeguards. People can’t afford to wait for those.

@coopspeak.bsky.social - Do you remember me mentioning Harper’s questionable tech investments/projects in a @theresisters.bsky.social episode way back? Had come across it as I delved more into the #IDU. Harper is a menace.

🤬🤬

@theresisters.bsky.social called this kind of rhetoric out yrs ago - specifically the use of “pre-born” - and have been raising the alarm in our audio spaces ever since so the gen public sees that the movement to ban abortion (and possibly other rights by extension) is already here. #BrutalTimes

I can’t afford $800 for Covid boosters for my family. This fucking sucks.

The 🎙️🎙️ have been quiet for a bit but our commitment to convos about pub health & education, human rights, air quality, and combatting mis/disinfo, has never slowed. Excited to share the behind the scenes prep for our upcoming podcast, “No Ostriching Here.” 😁😁! www.instagram.com/reel/DOnPFee...

We were so stoked to get that time with Dr. Morawska. And we loved hearing about her Canadian connection!

Wild how folks look away when kids are actually being harmed, but slip in a book about gay penguins, and suddenly it’s the end of the world. Meanwhile, here in Canada, we’re waiting to find out what Alberta thinks children need protection from besides actual harm. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

My sister ReSister @mjnabuurs.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social continues to fight for clean in our schools. Every child, educator and staffer who has to be in schools deserves clean, safe air to breathe. #cleantheair #cleanairisahumanright

@onschoolsafety.bsky.social @theresisters.bsky.social

Incredible work, @nicktsergas.ca !!!

We were honoured to have chatted with Prof Lidia Morawska last year. Have a listen to her state, unequivocally, that clean air is a human right: youtu.be/njMSMOUxfGA?...

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

Even a quick comment of support matters. But if you want to go deeper, our friends at DoNoHarm BC have created an excellent guide to commenting: donoharmbc.ca/national-sta... Take action now —> Submit your comments on Z94.4 here: publicreview.csa.ca
