Also @irelynelavery, who took over our TikTok while I was in Tunisia and helped bolster our content after that. Global never made the TikTok gig its own position, so we all worked on these videos on top of our daily reporting duties. It was a grind but so fun :)

The New Brunswick Government just turned its back on trans and gender diverse students. Anti-trans rhetoric is on the rise, and the progress we’ve made is at risk. It will only escalate from here, if we don’t #Act4QueerSafety. We must resist rising hate. Lives are at stake.

Happy Pride month!

Been mostly off Twitter processing life but popping in to cleanse the timeline with these beauties.

IM SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global has posted a number of new jobs after laying off seven women (including Rachel and me), five of whom were part of the national online team.

Got audibly excited seeing these at the store today!!!!!!! Couldn’t wait to get my hands on some. ❤️✨ @FaeJohnstone

On International Women’s Day 2023, hundreds of community organizations from across Canada have signed a statement declaring that gender equality cannot be achieved without supporting, celebrating, and uplifting trans women.

Today is for the girlies. ✨ The girlies who have been told they take up too much space. The girlies who have been told they’re too loud, too shrill, that their vocal fry or uptalk makes them lesser.

Also, I’m hoping to see the replies filled with positivity. I encourage you to uplift your fav female journo’s!

Happy International Women’s Day to @atRachelGilmore, @ReporterTeresa, @aalhakim_, @hiheidilee & I — along with all the other badass female journalists working to share important stories with the world.

Rachel Gilmore aka @atRachelGilmore has been savagely attacked especially. Others like @ReporterTeresa, @irelynelavery and @hiheidilee have also faced vitriol. Some have called for their deaths. It is horrible. But social media sites like Twitter permit this, unfortunately.

Many of my excellent journalist colleagues who lost their jobs at Global in the last week are being harassed and taunted by spineless, anonymous social media sludge. These journalists should and will find new and worthwhile employment and have futures. The bullies are just that.

Misogynistic, vile attacks don’t stop just because we’re laid off, quit or take a break. There is not enough protection and female journalists, especially those of colour, have it the worst. Solidarity with @atRachelGilmore

I am wondering how the fuck everyone in #cdnmedia can stand around watching a fellow journalist get ripped apart piece by piece and no one says a damn thing. The silence is defeaning and I see the plight of women in journalism doesn't mean shit to powerful well-known journalists

I'm quite surprised why something as simple as this is so hard to understand. This is the disconnect we keep talking about. Do we stand around a public square as silent spectators and let women be physically abused or bullied? How is the digital "public sphere" different?

Some first-rate journalists lost their jobs this week. Some people took the opportunity to gloat. Democracy gets a bit weaker than it was before.

#Canada: #CFWIJ is astonished at @globalnews decision to lay off at least four talented women journalists. Including award-winning @atRachelGilmore whose reporting for the outlet led to death threats. We stand in solidarity with those let go & demand an explanation from @CorusPR.

Some people will never miss a chance to be cruel. But while they spent their evenings sending hate mail and furiously tweeting to get our attention, we were surrounded by people who love us and support us in the real world. A message to these twisted, obsessive folks:
