I just signed a petition started by a North Island community member, calling on Pierre Poilievre to remove Aaron Gunn as a candidate in the federal election. Will you join me here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pi...

Absolute destruction of the First Amendment to enable absolute destruction of a habitable planet.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Random memory, I once received an envelope sent from America to Newcastle University (where I was teaching) which had-if memory serves-60 British pounds in notes. No letter. No sender info. Just money sent to an address the sender knew would get to me. Still confused but tyvm mysterious sender! 😘

From the shores of Village Island, home of Mamalilikulla First Nation. See my previous post for a fuller context. No-one has lived on the island since the mid 90s. Settlers had previously occupied it to run the day school and monitor the activities of the nation. #villageisland #Mamalilikulla

Of all of the incredible places on Earth that I've been so lucky to visit, Village Island is hands down my favourite. The sense of peace felt in 'Mimkwamlis, the ancestral village of the Mamalilikulla First Nation is impossible to describe. Peace despite its difficult history. 🧵👇...

Sharing Rebecca Solnit’s frustration - while she’s referring largely to the shocking situation in the US, this also counts for people here in the EU when it comes to the inertia in tackling the real issues: climatological and ecosystem collapse (as opposed to blaming migration for everything).

Me speaking with a travel agent just now: Her: "So what brings you to Europe?" Me: "My son's going to train with Real Madrid." Her: "SHUT. UP." I have flown once since 2019. Deliberately. This is not a trip to pass up on though.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I haven’t created an ecoartspace account on BlueSky (yet) and am using it now for personal perspectives, however, if you’re not following ecoartspace on Instagram, please do so. Each day you will learn about an artist who is addressing environmental issues in a wide range of mediums. @ecoartspace

What a breath of fresh air it is on this side of the social media pond. I'm enjoying not being force-fed posts from Musk, as a start.

Hey, Toronto! It's been a minute! 'Origin Stories' is coming your way in January! ✨
