Got double jabbed yesterday afternoon💉💉 COVID (Pfizer) and Flu. One in each arm. COVID arm is more sore but it's getting better.
My immune system is definitely starting to kick in though.
Feeling a little rundown, slight headache, warm face.
Hopefully it's done its job by tomorrow!
Just watched a CNN video clip with some Trump guy spouting vaccine-conspiracy/autism nonsense and I am starting to wish these people would just die of some preventable disease as Darwin clearly intended.

@ded2e305 I know. But I am talking real politik. If Israel goes so far as to alienate its global sponsor, and it sure sounds like its getting there, then everything could change. Everything could be on the table, Including arms... including BDS... Israel could become a pariah. Which, paradoxically, could lead to the kind of political change that actually creates an opening for something completely different.... like an actual two state solution.
OK Mastodon - I have a question about universities and #selfhosted instances. #PleaseBoost
Do you know of any Universities or other Educational Institutions that are hosting their own #Mastodon or other #Fediverse instances? Please leave a reply with the example if you do. I'm building the case for my University to do so.
Thanks!

“Western War Fatigue” is just boredom. That's what it is. And a damn disgrace. Ukrainians are fighting for the preservation of their country and identity as a people and the West is…. bored. Grow up people.

@d6c53e4a I just don't get how they can justify it as a good thing at all. Like really, actually, I want to know their justification for keeping this information secret. @802c5450 is likely already on it. But she should not have to be! #bcpoli
Good grief. The stupid secrecy here is so very stupid.
"As of Sept. 11, the ministry said there are two acute care or long term care facilities on Vancouver Island and one in the Northern health region that have "enhanced measures" in place. In addition, the ministry said enhanced measures were ended for two sites on Vancouver Island on Sept. 11. They did not name the sites or locations.
These questions were raised after health-care workers at a Vancouver Island hospital sounded the alarm about over a dozen cases of the pandemic virus that were transmitted in hospital. "

So that FOI I have going... today they asked if I was wanting just Ministerial level communications or Deputy and below, "out of scope."
Trying to narrow the search I am sure. So I gave them an out and asked for Minister and Deputy level only.
We'll see if they agree or if they try to claim it'll cost too much.
It's nonsense. I want the records. Give it up.
But, This Is The Way.

I just sent this message to Black Press through their corporate contact form here:

If you're in Western Canada why not do the same? :) Feel free to use mine as a template if you'd like.
To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing to congratulate you on your new website design which is much improved and also on embracing your renewed independence now that Facebook and Google have banned news content from their services.
Know this: You, and you alone, as a media organization, should be the source of your information. That is how you build trust. That is how you build your business.
To that end, just because you have stopped using Corporate Social Media doesn't mean there are no options to get your news and journalists connected to people instantly through social media platforms.
Please start using decentralized social media services like Mastodon.
You could create a Black Press Mastodon server today for your publications and employees to use. Or have them sign up to an existing service like Mastodon Canada (mstdn.ca)
It would provide the exact same instant-access that Twitter or Facebook provides.
Decentralized Social Media is new to the general public, but it is growing rapidly and it needs organizations like yours to grow even more, especially locally.
The Tyee and other publications and individual journalists have already started creating a presence.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely
Chris Alemany

And then there's the “Accidental Profiteering" by corporations as people desperately attempt to flee and other are forced to change plans according to a government order. This is what happens when your transportation system is based first and foremost on profit. "On Wednesday, Jackie Steenbergen of Lethbridge, Alta., told CBC News that WestJet charged her a $420 change fee to postpone a flight for herself and her husband later this month to Yellowknife to visit their daughter. After posting a public complaint on social media about the charge, she said WestJet dropped the change fee to $210. "
