Indigenous people make up 5% of the population but 75% of the people living on the street in Winnipeg. Poverty is the byproduct of colonial systems of oppression and genocide but is treated like a personal failure when many are born into it

I am fostering the sweetest dog for a few days to give him a break from shelter life. This is Clyde - his sister and BFF Bonnie was already adopted. Hopefully Clyde finds a home soon himself! ws.petango.com/webservices/...

Matthew Wielicki, the guy who didn’t get tenure and then started calling himself a “professor in exile”. Lolololol. He also didn’t work on anything remotely related to climate.

*happy sigh* participated in my first Puanga ceremonies. Just in time too. One of my Council members husbands died yesterday morning. The ceremonies really helped me adjust to being so far away from home during loss. Ceremony is so important ♡

Post hot shower naps are the very best

INCREDIBLE All Blacks v France Test match tonight!!!! NZ 34-FR 32 Full Time I am actually looking forward to this season. Hopefully they keep the momentum and keep playing as cohesive as they did tonight!

Registration begins within days for the Children of the Sky Summit in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand on December 3, 4, & 5! Children of the Sky was born after my 1st visit to Aotearoa in 2024. Maori Elders asked me: "How are you going to keep this kaupapa going?" Me: "A summit." Keeping my word

If you're ever in Whanganui, drive by the sailing club by the estuary and you'll see a mural chronicling the relationship the bar tailed godwit has with Indigenous people of Alaska, Aotearoa, Korea, Australia and Tasmania. ♡ Mural painted by Maori artist Yasmin Dupont, with designs by the WKC

Starting today, Tennessee employers can’t require, enforce, or even ask for a noncompete from any worker earning under $70,000 a year. Any such agreement signed, renewed, or amended from today forward is void—the first time the state has reached past healthcare to protect lower-paid workers.

Climate.us exists because the team behind Climate.gov refused to let years of trusted public climate information simply disappear. Science belongs to everyone, not to any government of the day.

Geeeeeez that startled me.

Most exciting thing that's happened today (besides making osso bucco) was unintentionally adjusting a cervical vertebrae that's been stuck for months. Lol

On Tuesday, Scientific American was sold by international publisher Springer Nature. Large numbers of staff were immediately laid off, and salaries of remaining workers were cut by as much as 30% SciAm staff had just voted to unionize. We should call this action what it is – blatant union-busting.

Daaaaamn

Sometimes i have good ideas. And sometimes i have REALLY good ideas. Saving the last of the "bang bang" by treating it like a cross between focaccia and a scone. This was the best idea i had (by far) today

Been at tangi for my partners friend the past 2 days. The korero is profoundly beautiful and rather poetic and metaphorical. A whaikorero on the manuhiri side said something like "the call to tangi is like a call for us all to sing the song of pain/grief together." That hit the intended target...

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.

Oh for real??
