@yowei_shaw @NPRinvisibilia This sucks. Invisibila was a fantastic show. I'm so sorry.

@snewbery1 Hi Dr. Newbery, if you see this, I'm wondering if you'd have a moment to give me a call at 604.838.4968 (personal cell as we're working from home, but I'm in Thunder Bay). I was hoping to chat with you for a CBC story. Many thanks in advance.

Know any Indigenous reporters who want to work for CBC? https://t.co/0RALLvmQxv

I can't say enough good things about this brave and beautifully written piece by @cbcreporter. I long for a day when these vulnerable conversations about situating ourselves in our work are as common as the ones we have about balance and accuracy. https://t.co/E8qBcyhHIE

"An 'operational guide' from Ontario's Ministry of Indigenous Affairs tells other ministries to delay or defer non-urgent projects that impact First Nations treaty rights during the pandemic, but at least one mining-related project is moving ahead. ..."

A great piece by @CBCReporter on how First Nations like Sandy Lake are using rapid testing and contact tracing to get ahead of COVID-19. https://t.co/9C2bVdBiWu

"Guess I Gotta Write This Goddamn Diversity Article Again." @imontheradio's 2020 Manifesto on the state of support for POC in pub media is sobering. We're all responsible. https://t.co/XZxiVgUS3h

"Recently the NYPost (dumpster fire) said: "Scientists can’t explain puzzling lack of coronavirus outbreaks in Africa." Well no, they can, it’s bog standard public health. They have excellent scientists in Africa, you know." https://t.co/KZCpvdNG6B

I'm starting to go a little crazy seeing fellow journalists use the word "investing" in stories about government funding announcements. They're spending tax dollars, friends!

@marthaCBC Nice work! Don't think we'll have enough to can this year...not at the rate we eat 'em. :-)

@JSchool_CU If you are a member of a marginalized group, it will at times be frustrating, maddening and isolating. It's not you. It's them. Do what you need to do to put yourself first and know there are people on the inside rooting for you. #proudqueerjourno

Welcome to the north, @jonathan_pinto! Be prepared to be introduced to the charms of persians (a donut-like thing) and Finnish pancakes.

[Waubgeshig Rice @waub]

Huge congrats, @jonathan_pinto! Welcome to northern Ontario. I look forward to hearing you on @UpNorthCBC! And maybe we can get some eats at the Townehouse here in Sudbury once the dust settles.

[Heather Kitching @RadioKitching]

So I spent this weekend (virtually) with @JoleneBanning and @leighnunan competing in @IPPkcrw #radiorace. They give you a theme, and you have 24 hours to make a 4-minute audio piece. Here's what we came up with. If you need me tomorrow, I'll be sleeping.
