Checking out this doc produced by Dwayne Wade abt Dads of trans kids that looks pretty cool! www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

Very cool sight about no-fly pledges! flightfree.co.uk

… If the BBC was remotely serious about promoting environmental sustainability, it it would be platforming the work of organisations like @flightfreeuk.bsky.social, rather than repeatedly promoting frequent flying for leisure. flightfree.co.uk

The Artemis II crew is a breath of fresh air into the news cycle.

“I’ll have you know that I’ve had sex.” “I went outside today, saw a bird, then immediately went back inside. Nature is beautiful.” “Will this get you to love me?”

@davidebybc.bsky.social it's past time for action to protect what remains of BC's old growth forests. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How evocative!

What adorable birdies :)

Look how cute!

Happy #KidlitArtPostcard day! Today I am sharing art from my upcoming book, #TheDayKindnessCame, publishing October 2026. This one is near and dear to my heart and may end up being my #legacy book. I have had a passion for creating #kidlit for a long time and hope to continue for years to come.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m a children’s book author & illustrator open to the right picture book for my whimsical, wonky illustrations Thank you to @ginaperry.bsky.social for bringing us all together for another month of sharing Portfolio and contact info found at www.andreawickert.com

Hello Art Directors and Editors! Here's a Highland Cow and his friend Duck out for a ride for #kidlitartpostcard. I'm looking for picture book, chapter book, and young graphic novel projects, as well as cover illustration work. Portfolio www.LauraZarrin.com Rep'd by Elizabeth Bennett, Transatlantic.

Personally, I enjoy having a brain. My own brain, that I take great pleasure in using.

Folks, I'm writing! And I'm writing about my writing in my latest writing newsletter! Read more here: kamillascorner.beehiiv.com/p/it-s-writi...

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

Please share widely!

I’ve never seen a picture of a chicken go harder than this

Hello lovelies! I’m currently on a deadline, so this post is a double dip.

“Happy Trans Rights Readathon! For those unfamiliar, the goal is to uplift/read/support trans, non-binary, 2Spirit, & gender expansive characters & author/illustrators as well as raise funds for trans causes. 1/

We’re taking the Canadian gov to court 📣 For 11 years, it has delayed mapping critical habitat for Southern Mountain #Caribou while logging + industrial development continues. #cdnpoli With @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social , @stand.earth & @wildsight.bsky.social, we’re demanding action.

going to start saying 'i'm doing things that quite literally have never been done before" whenever i get any amount of pushback

BC's forests need our voices. Once endless, they are now under major threat, particularly the nearly-destroyed old growth. There are better ways to supply our needs: sierraclub.bc.ca/stories-even...

This dog is being called a "real-life Lassie" after helping find a missing 3-year-old boy in Kentucky. “I don’t know where the dog came from,” one officer said. “But it was a blessing from God that day.” We think the dog deserves some credit too, so we're awarding him our highest honor, a 15/10

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

More about logging in BC: destroying centuries-old trees is NOT sustainable. thenarwhal.ca/bc-forests-l...

I'm grateful for local reporting on forestry issues, and glad that our local council--after much pressure--reversed their ridiculous recommendation to log a rare forest ecosystem: www.sixmountains.ca/article/48a1...

I still recall the attempts to harm the quality of census data during earlier administrations. Don't like this.

Very interesting timing, with Amber Bracken in court this month telling the RCMP the same thing.

what a legend lmao

It strikes me that while the ICE/CBP attacks radicalized this man, his brother provided an example to him if he to respond to that radicalization. Keep talking about this with your normie friends and family.

Hooray!! Can't wait to see this book @authorjamierodarte.bsky.social

Extremely important and concerning analysis.

Yes! I am loving papercrafts like junk journaling, decorative planning, etc. these days. (I was DROWNING in academia.) So many people I know have returned to paper/analog planners, that is, if they ever left. And it’s actually a super relaxing hobby & potential lowkey side hustle if you’re crafty!

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

When my daughter was in middle school she’d paint canvases of the dogs/cats who’d been there the longest and they’d display them, then go with the adopter. Networking/SM work is great too.

At the sanctuary where I work we have volunteers who feed animals and clean, but others who work on the website, do grant writing, donate artwork, financial consultation, etc. all kind of things that don't require physical presence! There are many kinds of volunteers!

I'm enjoying this interview about the big picture problems with AI and what we can do about it. I appreciate the reminder that the future is not inevitable: we build it with our choices and with policy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLvx...
