Taking a break from my ACTRA rage for a minute to bring you: FIRES IN BC!

Hey everyone,

As you may or may not know BC is on fire.

As usual the Central and South Okanagan are weathering the worst of it. If you are travelling for your vacation... don't. It isn't quite as egregious as the Maui fires or even the Yellowknife fires as we are far more prepared for disaster of this size, but we literally do not have room for you.

The "completely gone" is as of this morning, August 18th 2023.

Red = under evacuation, orange = on alert.

Stay home and when you come visit next year PUT YOUR FUCKING FIRES OUT. Or get one of the smokeless firepit options that exist so you don't fucking light us on fire in the first place.

Anyway, we'll ultimately be fine. This has been our summer for the last 10+ years. The infrastructure that Maui and Yellowknife lack exists here. We'll cry and we'll mourn, and we might lose a few people, but most of what is going to be lost is just stuff (I will likely be losing some heirlooms due to my storage locker being in West Kelowna at this rate and I cannot go get them due to being locked out for lack of payment b/c I forgot to pay August).

So if you want to help, put Maui and Yellowknife first.

The CDC ends its policy of the five-day isolation and lumps guidance with those for other respiratory pathogens

On Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidelines urging people who are actively infectious with COVID-19 to return to schools and workplaces, thereby infecting their coworkers and the general public.

Under the guidelines, workers are encouraged to return to work 24 hours after their last fever, a period in which the vast majority of COVID-19 patients will be actively infectious.

This guidance has no basis whatsoever in public health. It has two fundamental aims. First, it seeks to ensure that workers show up on the job even as they pose a major safety threat to their co-workers and customers, in order to create profits for large corporations.

Second, and no less important, by allowing COVID-19 to spread uninterrupted, the US government, speaking on behalf of the financial oligarchy, is seeking to reduce life expectancy and create the conditions for the early deaths of older Americans and immunocompromised people.

The CDC’s policy change is being implemented under conditions in which COVID-19 is circulating at a higher level than at the same time during any previous year of the pandemic and under conditions in which all restrictions on the spread of the virus have been dropped. Due to the ending of all pandemic surveillance after the Biden administration scrapped the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration last May, the circulation of COVID can now only be seen through wastewater data.  ...

This is absolutely fucking appalling!

can 2024 be the year we stop calling stay-at-home moms stupid for being ‘financially dependent’ and risking being trapped in abusive relationships, and instead start addressing why there are no social safety nets in place for people who choose to leave the workforce to raise their children

I got the Commission Handbook early

Hello all. I have awoken from my slumber to tell you that, luckily for me, my bookseller fucked up and dispatched my pre-order of the new Commision Handbook before the release date.

It's a Five Hargreeves treasure trove. It has notes from 'the founder' scattered throughout in which our boy muses on his mission, his impending death, and the futility of his life's work.

It includes dossiers on each Umbrella and Sparrow, which has details of what each member does in alternate timelines without Reggie's interference.

I am here to inform you that, in most timelines, Five is a stay-at-home Dad in Dublin.
