Wow—had to check a few times to make sure this was legit.

BC's human rights commissioner has released a letter sent to Dr. Bonnie Henry, urging her to reconsider lifting the mask mandate. #covid19bc @CapitalDailyVic bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/upl…
"That people dislike wearing masks is not a compelling argument when weighed against the rights of others to life, security of the person, and equal participation in social and economic life," commissioner @KasariGovender wrote to Dr. Henry.

I like to think of the BC government press conference hold music as the opening act. Just a classical guitarist and violinist warming up the audience before being abruptly hooked off stage when the ministers arrive
Stanwick, Eby and Helps have taken the stage to talk about homelessness and COVID
The province is opening approx 50 new covid isolation shelter spots in the city

I mostly just have questions Image
What's especially troubling about this is that the reach of these emails does suggest that someone, somewhere, has acquired or is compiling a list of Canadian journalists to harass. The person is stupid, thankfully, but they also seem organized.
I'm going to start bringing these together in a thread. I don't know why they're being put out there or who's behind it but it's disturbing that someone is taking this much time to send similar but... personalized? Threatening emails to journalists.

Can we talk real quick about cnidophages? No seriously this is worth it. This is my story I tell when people ask me for my best animal fact.

You may have seen pictures of pretty sea slugs like these blue sea dragons before. But they have a secret.
They, like other species of sea slug, eat cnidarians like jellyfish, hydroids and sea anemones — creatures with stinging cells. But they do not get stung.

(Here's another one, Hermissenda crassicornis. I did research on this one's brain in my undergrad.)
Why don't they get stung? They're STEALING THE STINGING CELLS

(Here's one called Aeolidia papillosa, eating an anemone that SHOULD BE STINGING IT BUT IT ISN'T)

I'm listening through the archive of the radio chatter on the #seatac hijacking. Below are some of the clips.
I'm going through this as quickly as I can. Please bear with me.
