It has now been confirmed that EverWind's controversial AI data centre megaproject will not have to undergo a proper environmental assessment, despite major concerns about how the project could affect our environment, water and energy costs.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Had the pleasure of meeting these two lovely individuals at the fundraiser on Saturday. They shared some fan-art stickers with us, so fun! And Rachel Reid is a total rock star. 💖 Also: NS gov’t get it together! Do better: libraries are a critical community service!

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

❤️‍🔥 Thank you Rachel Reid!!! 💖

Using AI to write emails is lazy AND rude. What kind of message are you sending to a recipient if you can't write a basic email in your own words?

Saddened that the world has its first trillionaire. Why are people okay with this?

❤️ Hungary! 🇭🇺 People over power!

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

No Kings is International! ✨ HALIFAX ✨ Not sure if I’ll be able to make it in today, but Bluenosers: let’s continue to remind our elected representatives that we reject their lack of due process and consultation whilst also lending moral support to our USA friends and relations.

Loving this new game by the creator of Wordle. Tricky at first, but quite fun once you get the hang of it. www.parseword.com

There's a rally to protest the arts, heritage & culture cuts in Wolfville at noon on Mar 4, to coincide with the protest in Halifax Join in & make your voices heard! #defendnsbooks @writersfedofns.bsky.social @atlanticbookawards.bsky.social @nimbuspub.bsky.social @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Well this makes it easier! Thank you @kalasaurus.bsky.social for this list (I think I did it correctly; seemed straight forward ).

It took a few minutes, but went to the (brace yourselves) official White House BlueSky account and blocked all the departments they have reposted there and then blocked that account. Feeling violated that my eyeballs had to look at their crap to click on all those accounts. SO MUCH ICK.

Make it so. 🪩🕺🐌 youtu.be/1thnykZJF6A

Recommended reading. That beet/carrot thing is the thing I think every damn time I hear the news and I mentally scream into the void...

Put a plate of water with a few rocks in it out on a tree stump in the yard and a sparrow had a little bath in it. My day is made! Hoping some bees will find it too.

natureconservancy.ca/en/ Backyard Bio-blitz starts today! 🌱🦉🦋 I just signed up.

There are fireflies outside! ✨

“Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable” narrative was made up by governments to convince you to go back to work. To unmask. To spend money. To think of Covid as a problem only “other” people have to worry about so that you will keep propping up capitalism. We are ALL vulnerable.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/.... Good grief, we’re in the news! 🤯😵‍💫 It’s gonna be epic.

Singing, dancing, smiling; so good. ❤️🇨🇦 (I mean, yes, he just won a big stressful election, so of course he’s happy, but engaging with people and having fun in his red hoodie; I’m liking the vibe.)

Highly recommend a prism/crystal for sunny windows. The rainbows are super intense today! (And if I just stand here all morning it’s a great way to jazz up my boring grey sweater...)

Crocuses got chomped and it’s (finally) supposed to be sunny tomorrow; their big day to open fully before they die. 😭 Deer gotta eat…

Finally the snow has melted and we have some crocus action! These stripey ones are my fav.

Absolutely revolting. Signed!

Elections take people-power! Many moons ago and was impressed by the real-world physical “seeing with your eyeballs” counting of ballots. It’s a system I have faith in (for the most part) but it does take lots of people. Here’s a link to get involved: www.elections.ca/jobs

Fact-checking is so important. Do better, CTV!

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I wish there was an app that would blur out the faces of certain people when they come up on the news or in different feeds so my eyeballs don’t have to be constantly burned by the vulgar display of their hateful mugs as I try to stay informed.

Love this!

We definitely could use more smiles these days! They’re not the easiest to make, given the times, but they sure can be easy to share.

Fu** the CBC! Great ad!! 🇨🇦❤️😂
