RT @Protect_BC@twitter.com
BC is in a triple viral crisis while @CDCofBC@twitter.com tries to downplay it.
Long waits at @BCChildrensHosp@twitter.com & lots of staff/student absenteeism in #bced.
In our open letter, advocates demand better for kids and for all of BC.

It’s been remarkable to see so many create Mastodon accounts this week. For now, I’m mirroring tweets at @mgeist or http://mas.to/@mgeist

RT @joinmastodon@twitter.com
Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

The new Twitter Blue brought in just $488,000 in revenue, while the verified fake accounts caused billions in havoc.

So I am an epidemiologist, but the best part of my job is collaborating with legal colleagues Amy Kapczynski and Ali Miller as part of the YSPH/YLS Global Health Justice Partnership! https://law.yale.edu/ghjp/about-us

I'll never shut up about #Covid. It's a #justice and #access issue. Please #maskup as this is airborne (plus masking will decrease chances of catching other airborne diseases and decrease allergens). Please push for #CRBox and other #AirFilter devices to be placed in all interior spaces. If we work together in solidarity, we really can push back this disease and slow (if not stop) the mass death and disablement that is currently happening!
Mask up and stay safe friends. Thanks for reading.

@rhtunstall I am so sick of the BC media protecting Bonnie Henry. She has been an epic disaster of a PHO and needs to be fired now. Should have been fired 2.5 years ago. Henry is literally killing people with her mismanagement and inaction and the BCNDP government and the media sits idly by encouraging her to continue down this destructive path by propping her up and ignoring science.

I am way more left wing now than my 20/30/40 something and get more so with every passing year.
Yet, the seniors in my community do veer more and more conservative and I just don't get it.

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!
So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.
This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.
An excellent article about the recently created term "immunity debt".

You can see that the Pacific plumes have hit NorAm very high, and so, we are getting clippers, which are a combination of cold and snow.

Just want to say thank you, again.
As a newbie migrant #twittermigration - I can imagine the trepidation and culture shock that long-time Mastadonians must feel right now.
Thank you for letting me (us) in anyway, making us welcome and helping us understand how to become engaged and supportive members of this society.
You are good folx.

This could be useful: @ernie is turning his MidRange newsletter into a Mastodon primer for 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for highlighting this. Very helpful, indeed, and appreciate being made aware of what looks like an interesting newsletter.

For People Wanting Less Bird Crap on their Mastodon
Under preferences, you can find the "filter" menu. Click "add filter" and you can filter by key word on any area of the Fediverse you want. You can even expire the filter if you choose. If you filter the "T" word that is the name of the Bird App, that should do the trick to eliminate most of it.

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
I took all the domains from https://fediblock.neocities.org/ block list and put it in a csv file that can be imported so you can block all hateful ...
