Have requested my library purchase! Our rural community has pockets of fundamentalist groups that have lots of local influence. Thanks to you for this work
Followed you for legal and political hot takes and have now read 3 of your books and they are fab - sex positive, cognitively diverse female protagonists and men that don't get in their way? Yes, please.
That stinks. Sorry that happened. Glad I got confused about why I wasn't following you any more and you were back and findable. Stay?!
These are SO GOOD.
Do you ever do work with public service/government? Take a look at the (complicated) process for getting on the supplier list for the province of Ontario, Canada. Transcription services are in demand: www.ontario.ca/page/doing-b...
Remember: here's the breaking news handbook. All of these are good rules to stand by at the moment.
![In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
Don't trust anonymous sources.
Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
There's almost never a second shooter.
Pay attention to the language the media uses.
"We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
"We are seeking confirmation"... means they don’t have it.
"[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
Look for news outlets close to the incident.
Compare multiple sources.
Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreihybvnila33plk2j24yealu6fq6wezii2ujhgyjgpr3awsty6pjtm@jpeg)
Call the Premier's Office and ask for this decision to be reversed: To reach Doug Ford’s office: 416-325-1941 This line will be answered by a person and they collect messages.
This kind of pressure really does work. The decision to stop private well testing was recently walked back after push back. Keep calling and emailing!
Legit and gleefully excited for this!
The cackle I just cackled!
