personal news - I've been offered the opportunity to study at UVic's law school starting in Sept. 2022. Pending a final review of my transcripts, I'm going to law school!

@K2_CD1 a few weeks ago I saw a hummingbird while I was studying and it was perfection

While yes it is frustrating UVic only has two libraries (ridiculous) and the hours aren’t great (utterly ridiculous), at least the law library is a gorgeous space 😍

Y’all I really love the UVic Law library 💜

For the first time in a decade, the University of Alberta Students’ Union executive consists entirely of men. Check out the results here: thegatewayonline.ca/2023/03/studen…

@clerry13 you got this !!!!

NEW - @NikiSharma2 has just introduced a bill on non-consensual distribution of intimate images, which boosts civil lawsuit penalties and expedites legal processes for orders to get images removed and de-indexed from online.

@K2_CD1 @jasmatazz 👀👀👀

@jasmatazz @katekorte this live-tweet thread is for you ❤️❤️❤️

Being stuck at home and sick sucks. BUT it does allow me the time to eat up season 2 of Single’s Inferno and I am very much looking forward to it ❤️‍🔥

.@NikiSharma2 has tabled a new bill that would make it an offence to spread deliberate disinformation about election info (voting places, dates, times, etc) and false statements about "objective biographical information about candidates and senior officials of political parties."

#ICYMI - @CANADALAND covered the OMG/Cap Daily drama I made a very brief return to journalism to praise Capital Daily's contributions to our community over the past few years. I'm so grateful for the mentorship @jwsthomson offered to myself and other young journos.

My piece in @TorontoStar draws on my research about political staffers in Canada, arguing that Tory’s relationship was unethical due to his clear power and control over the staffer’s career in office: bit.ly/3InW08U

It's no secret that I loved my time at the Martlet! Highly recommend working at such a rewarding student publication.

Work for @TheMartlet ! Full time role. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in non-profit management, HR, business, and (of course) journalism.

In 2019, a blogging magnate and a J-school drop-out turned millionaire unveiled a plan to save local news. 250 new reporters; 50 new outlets; 3 years. This week they fired half their editorial staff at their flagship publication. What went wrong: thetyee.ca/News/2023/02/0…

From the inbox: 400 lawyers sign letter supporting Indigenous cultural competency requirement for Alberta lawyers. Comes days after 50 lawyers signed a petition asking the Law Society to repeal the rule that brought in such education.

A significant majority of eligible employees at Overstory Media Group have voted to unionize with @cwacanada1. We are taking this official step together, in solidarity, to make our workplaces and our roles within them strong, sustainable, and equitable. Our statement:

I'm sure you've heard it before The idea that people who are homeless in our community 'aren't from here' That they came to Victoria for better services or for an 'easier' life Data shows us that's mostly myth From @brish_ti and I @CapitalDailyVic capitaldaily.ca/news/debunking…

@K2_CD1 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Absolutely adored my 29th birthday 💖 just got home and my heart is full, I’m so grateful for the people in my life. Happy new year everyone 🎉🎉

NEW - B.C. is doubling the size of its Residential Tenancy Branch compliance and enforcement unit (from 5 to 10 staff). Housing minister Ravi Kahlon says this will speed up wait times for tenants and landlords looking to resolve conflicts. #bcpoli @BlackPressMedia
