12 years working at a Charity: never asked people for money. Today: my friend Carl, cabinet maker, musician, bike mechanic, and heart of his community has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Carl has spent years lifting up others through community bike shops and radical kindness. #Bikesky

Hoggett and Randall outline an activist's journey as follows: Epiphany – realizing the gravity of the issue. Immersion – deeply engaging with activism and the cause. Crisis – facing burnout, feeling overwhelmed or disillusioned. Resolution – achieving balance and sustainable engagement.

Without nature, we are nothing. Nature is our life-support system, and yet humanity seems hellbent on destruction. With our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. - António Guterres

The psychological wellbeing of humans and the ecological health of the planet are dependent on an intimate human-nature relationship. The more disconnected we become from nature, the more our psychological health suffers and the more planetary destruction ensues. (Roszak, Gomes and Kanner, 1995)

Since 2020, the richest 1% hoarded 2/3 of all new wealth — that’s $26 trillion. The other 99% of humanity shared the remaining $11 trillion. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social This level of inequality isn’t just unfair: it’s destabilizing economies, corrupting politics, and eroding democracy.

How can we work with nature to protect people? By working with nature versus against it, we can protect people from disasters like flooding and extreme heat. 🌱🌿🌳 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u3D... #Climatechange @ifrc.org

Climate change is a driver of disaster risk and can lead to conflict, instability and insecurity. 🔥⛈️🌪️ @ifrc.org and @wwfcanada.org estimate that by 2030, 150 million people a year could need humanitarian assistance due to floods, drought and storms. #ClimateChange

Just completed the Personal Safety and Security course from the International Rescue Committee @rescue.org This training is built for humanitarians in high-risk environments, covering everything from armed checkpoints and shelling to travel safety to sexual violence response.

Batiment 7 in #Montreal where I volunteer is a real world version of #solarpunk 🌱 A self governing community space focused on community needs. It’s an example of how we can do things equitably, build resilience all while focusing on circular economies. 🐓🌾🪏

Happy to have helped organize Saturday’s Red Line Protest for #Gaza in Montreal with a small, committed team. It doesn’t take many to make an impact, just people who care. Grateful to be part of it. 📸 @fred.msf.ca

What it looks like to help lead 10000+ people march in solidarity for the people of #Gaza through the streets of #Montreal

#Climatechange is one of the biggest threats and risk multipliers for vulnerable populations around the world. @msf.ca see the consequences that rapid environmental change can have on extremely vulnerable. #ClimateSolutions #Climate @greenpeaceca.bsky.social

Pure bliss at the collective garden tonight. ☀️🌱🌿🪏 If you don’t know: instead or community gardens where everyone has their own plot, collective gardens everyone works together, shares the work and shares the harvest. It builds community resiliency. #solarpunk

Fossil fuel interests sent 220 lobbyists to the last round of talks. That’s more than all EU countries’ negotiating teams combined. The lobbyists’ main mission? Block the one thing that would actually work: cutting plastic production. #Climatechange @greenpeaceca.bsky.social

Canadians want their land and nature protected. The government promised action and now they must deliver. We need to reintroduce and strengthen the Nature Accountability Act. #CDNPoli act.greenpeace.ca/en-ca/protec... #ClimateChange #Climatesolutions @greenpeaceca.bsky.social

Paint is not infrastructure. "Sharrows" don't save lives. 23 year old in critical condition after being hit by car while biking in Montreal on a calm street. This is bike infrastructure where he was reportedly hit. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Drivers would like less people to drive on their roads. Cyclists want more people to ride bikes on our roads.

Almost 25 per cent more pedestrians killed on Quebec roads in 2024. Human behaviour is the cause of “the majority of fatal and serious injury collisions, which means that they were avoidable.” www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted into the Master of Disaster and Emergency Management program. As our world faces increasingly complex challenges from climate change to global health crises, I’m eager to deepen my knowledge and contribute to building safer, more prepared communities.

Almost half of young people would prefer a world without internet, UK study finds. I would say this isn't the internet because for younger generations the internet = social media. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Climate change and diseases: How does it end? Perhaps our chief concern of climate change should be the alteration of the distribution and increased prevalence of fatal infectious diseases. web.archive.org/web/20250519...

Extreme wealth and climate breakdown are twin crises — and they feed each other. While the super-rich fuel the problem and shield themselves from the fallout, the rest of us are left to pick up the pieces.

Slowly turning into “that guy” in town who tows more and more with his trailer. Free municipal compost and wood chips sans car. #bikesky #xbiking

Dear #Booksky - need some recommendations for introduction or the 101 of activism. What are some must reads? If you could have one book about it on your bookshelf what would it be?

In 14 years of Reddit climate change discussions, only 4% post links and 6.5% of comment links cite scientific sources. Most point to media or social platforms instead. A reminder: evidence-based climate talk is still the exception, not the norm. journals.plos.org/climate/arti... #Climatechange

Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise on the Island of #Montreal, even though they remain below pre-pandemic levels. Several targets of the City’s 2020–2030 Climate Plan are proving difficult — if not impossible — to reach. www.lapresse.ca/actualites/e... #climatechange

Wealthiest 10 % of people on Earth have fuelled 2/3rds of the climate warming since 1990, according to a new study. Top 1 percent alone are responsible for 1/5th of warming by using more energy and by investing in sectors, like fossil fuels driving up emissions. e360.yale.edu/digest/world...

More heat. More smog. More asthma. This isn’t bad luck — it’s the fossil fuel industry choking our lungs for profit. #WorldAsthmaDay

Need to get all my moneys worth out of this 25$ trailer. #bikesky #xbiking

Trailer is going to be so handy for the garden this summer. A steal at 25$. Saving that on gas alone for all the trips to get soil, municipal compost and wood chips. #bikesky #xbiking

The economy is challenging. The Canadian gov has a good budgeting resource. It helped me get out of debt. Interesting is you can see your expenses compared to average Canadian within your age and wealth group. Now I try to live below my means. itools-ioutils.fcac-acfc.gc.ca/BP-PB/budget...

Will say it again: bikes are the perfect apocalypse vehicle and dynamos are worth every penny. The power is out for 8-9 city blocks right before a huge thunderstorm rolls in. This is one of the Main Streets. #bikesky

We cannot forget or let it slide that Canadians who wanted to vote were not able to vote. Elections Canada overal did a great job but every Canadian should find this unacceptable. Everyone in Canada who can vote and wants to vote MUST be able to vote. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #cdnpoli
