Nearly a decade of organizing in Vancouver's animation and VFX industries is transforming wages and working conditions for the workers behind shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks, even amid a historic slowdown in film and TV.

I spoke to workers + organizers about it for @pressprogress.ca

Vancouver’s film and TV industry is facing one of its ‘toughest slowdowns’ ever. Animators and visual effects workers are unionizing to take back control:

“It’s time to level the playing field for the workers ... so they can have more of a say, more control and a democratization of their workplace”

🔴 In two years of war, over 223 Palestinian journalists have been killed in #Gaza in the deadliest period in the history of journalism. As journalists, unionists and, ultimately, humans, we cannot accept that reporters are killed amid indifference, be that in Gaza or elsewhere.

2 years of genocide. I mourn the dead, and I mourn the living. None of us will ever be the same, none of us should ever be the same.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.

grateful for Scott Thompson's cameo as a hedonistic alien ambassador for taking the edge off a Voyager episode that otherwise hit a bit too close to home rn 🥲
Scott Thompson in a cameo as ambassador Tomim on an episode of Voyager. He's got a large, bulbous forehead and an aggressively receding hairline. he's smiling a bit and looking offscreen while saying "[Voyager] promotes a more stimulating environment."

Currently at the ICE facility in portland, OR. Some far right agitators have posted plans online to attack the mutual aid stations and take over the area at 7:00.

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach.

This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

So proud of my colleagues who fight for Palestinian journalists every day. To date, Israel has over 200 journalists in Gaza.

Last week, Canada issued a statement "reaffirming its commitment to the safety of journalists" in Gaza. But it did not specify how it plans to hold Israel accountable, only calling on the government to take action.

@cjjpmedia.bsky.social is going to Ottawa with some ideas.

🚨 CJJP GOES TO OTTAWA 🚨

We're sending a contingent to Ottawa to tell PM @mark-carney.bsky.social and @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social how Canada is enabling the deadliest assault on free press in recent history.

We have some ideas on how Canada can stop being complicit in Israel's massacre.

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect
A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat

Canada Post workers hit the picket lines in a surprise strike escalation just hours after the federal government announced massive cuts to the postal service.

I break down what the government is planning and what some CUPW members think about the proposed changes for @pressprogress.ca

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
