@joshokane @richardwarnica So sorry to hear this. She was a really kind and friendly person, aside from being talented.

Former Globe colleague Tamsin McMahon died of cancer a few days ago after a two-year battle. She worked through it; her final byline was barely a week ago. Every time we collabed on a Big Tech story back in the day, she was a gracious pro. Gone far too soon

“He said: ‘Lake Rouge is gone,’” Dixon said. Lake Rouge was a calm lake nearby with trout, sandy banks and a surface area of about 3 sq km. By “gone”, they weren’t sure what the man was getting at. ⁦@seleross⁩ theguardian.com/world/2026/jan…

@siomoCTV Jfc. So glad you got proper treatment finally

With adenomyosis, the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall of the uterus instead of out. My surgery notes say my uterus was so full of fibroids it was the the size of someone who is four months pregnant The cyst attached to my ovary, bigger than a normal sized uterus.

I'm one week post op from a hysterectomy to confront years of horrific pain and bleeding from fibroids, suspected adenomyosis, and large ovarian cyst. These conditions and the upheaval they cause are startlingly common. I'm ANGRY that so many women don't know that. I didn't 🧵

If you're buying flowers for someone tomorrow, make them tulips. They're the only flower mass-grown in the USA/Canada in winter and are more climate-friendly than the rest. (Did a tulip write this, you may ask?? Nope it was me) nytimes.com/2025/02/12/cli…

@richardwarnica They just v politely turn them back on every time they try to talk without them on..? Interesting format

So after all the talk about turning off the mics you can still hear them talk when their mics are turned off.

@PamJSword Haha, I don't know if I consider those my finest work but still 😭

@seleross Aw, shucks. I knew you were the one to hire, esp after the interview. And I also convinced you to get on Twitter! That was one of the best eras the newsroom had, with you and other stellar talents. (I still have your pix of deck collapse on my computer, sentimental fool am I.)

It always felt like a special privilege to bring the news to Nova Scotians for the past 35 years - first as a reporter, then editor, then the woman who ran the night news desk, then to being part of a great Herald digital team, then leading the team, then being the whole team 1/8

Also! For some reason NYC has been announcing its porous pavement projects a few miles at a time, but what it hasn't explained is that it's actually turning 40+ miles of South Brooklyn parking lanes to "sponge" - the biggest test/use of this technology in the U.S.

Delved into real-life futurism with this piece about predicting wildfire - the recent bad seasons spurred some amazing science. Foretelling lightning strikes days ahead of time, pinpointing tiny breaks in grassland across the entire USA, other wild stuff. theguardian.com/world/article/…

This is incredible 💀

This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

Extremely sad about this news out of Halifax about the first paper I ever worked at, which was full of great people and IMO needed on the east coast.

@thewalrus @cstarnino Amazing news!!

We are excited to share that Carmine Starnino (@cstarnino) is our new editor-in-chief. 👏

@nicki_doyle @FNoMTL We actually used to stop by there! And $5 thalis at Pushap. Namur is so incredible

@seleross @FNoMTL Um you also hit the SPCA and come home with a cat.

You’re a Montreal teen in 1999 with $20 in your pocket. You head to the Namur Le Chateau entrepôt for pleather pants and Village for polyester tops. Poutine at Orange Julep, then it’s off to Musique Plus for a free Backstreet Boys show, before dancing at the Dome. Life is good.

Put Adrienne Arsenault in charge of the CBC

@tobinng @madihaslam This is the best news!! For Maisonneuve too 🎉

Years ago, @seleross and @madihaslam took a chance on me and invited me to visit Maisonneuve's office—and that trip ended up shaping my career. It means so much to be coming back to Maisy as an associate editor 🥰

@ymmbruce Good idea!

@seleross Here. I post links to tweets containing news articles to Facebook.

Anyone have any good links or anecdotes about what regular Canadians can do/are doing in response to the Meta online news ban? I know about the ad boycott but am wondering about any other actions people have taken, no matter how small-scale.

@han_kyoul this is smart!

@seleross when i was making a post in a group with a CBC link to a show on Tapestry, Facebook denied my posting. i reposted without the link and suggested to group members that i could PM them the link.
