Here’s what’s happening for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in the Sea to Sky

In addition to all the ableism, blaming moms for taking tylenol during pregnancy or vaccinating their children definitely feels like a recycled version of the "refrigerator mom" theory of autism. Every single day under this administration I have been reminded of why disability history matters.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Team takahe all the way! I used sit and drink coffee with the retired takahe couple living at Zealandia in Wellington. They made the cutest noises walking around me. They were also very good at hide and seek.

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

Nothing makes me miss Aotearoa more than Bird of the Year!

endlessly grateful to exist, to trot with my buds and share stories. to look up at the moon and think about everyone else who has looked before. to have taste buds. to watch the seasons change. so many wonderful things are just GIVEN to us by existence, it can be hard to remember to say thanks

Did you know?!

Skeleton crow! Sasquatch! Bloody knives! Halloween delights!

Multi solving in action!

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

Wildfire smoke is BAD today. Thankful to my past self for making some air purifiers. This one is Dr. Who themed! #CleanAir #CRBox

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy.

Solar panels are basically wireless receivers for a nuclear fusion power plant.

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...

For some reason my 3-yr-old has “nipples” and “muscles” confused and hearing him say “I have really strong nipples” just makes my day so much brighter

Hell yeah buddy bon appetit

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

“The group attributes the increase, in part, to efforts by First Nations, commercial harvesters, and the DFO to rebuild salmon stocks and habitats over the years.” 6.3 million fish are heading home this year compared to last year’s 474,000! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late

The more I try, observe, and experiment the more I think that the deepest opportunities to transform systems are dismissed as too simple and humble and the biggest and snazziest things people (and funders) gravitate towards are the least transformative.

You don't actually know what will or will not make a difference which is why it matters to try to do things.

A major earthquake off Kamchatka, Russia has struck and a TSUNAMI WATCH has been issued for B.C. North coast and Haida Gwaii, central coast and northeast Vancouver Island, outer west coast of Vancouver island and the Juan de Fuca Strait. Now we wait.

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself
