Jane Goodall's mother, Vanne Goodall, accompanied her to Tanzania when she began her research in 1960, as British colonial authorities would not allow the young woman to conduct research alone in the field. Thank you to all the empathetic and empowering mums out there. Thank you, Vanne Goodall.

Jane Goodall, one of the most influential environmental figures in human history, has died at 91 while touring the country to deliver an urgent message about nature and human existence. “We’re destroying the planet,” she said last week during the Forbes Sustainability Leaders Summit in NYC.

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” ~ Jane Goodall #RIP

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

@guygavrielkay.bsky.social‬ I listen to a lot of audiobooks and agree strongly that a talented human narrator is far, far superior to any AI rendition of a text.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

There is a difference between righteous anger, directed at injustice, and hateful anger, directed at those who are different. Authoritarian regimes deliberately conflate the two to silence criticism and create false equivalence. It's important we don't let those in power succeed in this endeavor.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Nope. We are not "vilifying ICE". We are watching what they are doing and saying, and we are talking about it.

This!!

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

may Assata Shakur rest in forever peace, love & power very grateful 4 all she did that will live on forever & that she lived as a free woman all these yrs “Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

We need your help to make October 18 the biggest peaceful protest of the year. Please spread the word, register your local event as soon as you can, and start RSVPing for the local protests to help build momentum: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The polio immunisation program started in the USA in 1955. Look what happened next.

Can you even begin to imagine what the next generation of Americans is going to look like? #cdnpoli

There is ample scientific proof Tylenol won't make your kids autistic. There is undisputable proof however, that guns can make them dead. A healthy dose of reality is what will truly make Americaca great again.

Good options: *BBC News / BBC World Service *Deutsche Welle (DW News) *France 24 *Al Jazeera *The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.) *Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty *CBC News (Canada)

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

The effect of car dependency: in 1940, Basil Rathbone was photographed wearing an overcoat outside his home. As more men relied on cars, overcoats became shorter to accommodate drivers. Today, the right is marketed as an "overcoat," even if it would've been considered more sport coat length in 1940.

A great way to boycott TV stations is to simply put parental control locks on them, then you don't forget.

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

We have the power

Thought for the day: Don't let success go to your head. Don't let failure get to your heart. #tftd #success #failure

If you haven't noticed the unprecedented efforts to suppress free speech in the United States, you haven't been paying attention.

This Op‑Ed unpacks why Charlie Kirk’s own rhetoric helped seal his fate and how a nation’s love‑hate divide can turn patriots into pawns. https://americanmanifesto.news/no-tears-owed

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. -- Robert Heinlein #love

Give Victor, not Charlie Kirk, a medal.

Please introduce a “Charlie Kirk” gun safety bill. This is the moment! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Charlie Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-shamef...

What should be asked of every right-wing showboat losing their mind over Kirk's death is "What the fuck are you gonna do to prevent it from happening again?"
