We’re taking the Canadian gov to court 📣
For 11 years, it has delayed mapping critical habitat for Southern Mountain #Caribou while logging + industrial development continues. #cdnpoli
With @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social , @stand.earth & @wildsight.bsky.social, we’re demanding action.
going to start saying 'i'm doing things that quite literally have never been done before" whenever i get any amount of pushback
BC's forests need our voices. Once endless, they are now under major threat, particularly the nearly-destroyed old growth. There are better ways to supply our needs: sierraclub.bc.ca/stories-even...
This dog is being called a "real-life Lassie" after helping find a missing 3-year-old boy in Kentucky. “I don’t know where the dog came from,” one officer said. “But it was a blessing from God that day.” We think the dog deserves some credit too, so we're awarding him our highest honor, a 15/10
This sounds so fun! Big congratulations :)
I have thoughts...this time, about planning and how it can help or hurt: kamillascorner.beehiiv.com/p/plan-xiety...

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"
Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.
Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.
Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)
"Haunted"

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.
This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.
More about logging in BC: destroying centuries-old trees is NOT sustainable. thenarwhal.ca/bc-forests-l...
I'm grateful for local reporting on forestry issues, and glad that our local council--after much pressure--reversed their ridiculous recommendation to log a rare forest ecosystem: www.sixmountains.ca/article/48a1...
I still recall the attempts to harm the quality of census data during earlier administrations. Don't like this.
Very interesting timing, with Amber Bracken in court this month telling the RCMP the same thing.
what a legend lmao
It strikes me that while the ICE/CBP attacks radicalized this man, his brother provided an example to him if he to respond to that radicalization.
Keep talking about this with your normie friends and family.
Hooray!! Can't wait to see this book @authorjamierodarte.bsky.social
B.C.’s latest report on greenhouse gas emissions shows modest progress — but recent policy cuts threaten to move the province further from its climate action targets.

Extremely important and concerning analysis.
Yes! I am loving papercrafts like junk journaling, decorative planning, etc. these days. (I was DROWNING in academia.)
So many people I know have returned to paper/analog planners, that is, if they ever left. And it’s actually a super relaxing hobby & potential lowkey side hustle if you’re crafty!
My year in books, 2025: what I wrote and read. I've been writing versions of this newsletter for several years and finally published one today!

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation
When my daughter was in middle school she’d paint canvases of the dogs/cats who’d been there the longest and they’d display them, then go with the adopter.
Networking/SM work is great too.
At the sanctuary where I work we have volunteers who feed animals and clean, but others who work on the website, do grant writing, donate artwork, financial consultation, etc. all kind of things that don't require physical presence! There are many kinds of volunteers!
I'm enjoying this interview about the big picture problems with AI and what we can do about it. I appreciate the reminder that the future is not inevitable: we build it with our choices and with policy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLvx...
Good oped on priorities in the work on climate change: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
