As I prepared to erase [twitter] I realized I couldn't leave Dad behind when his values meant so much to me: he belongs here, I hope y'all don't mind. This is a reproduction of a thread from Dec 2019 that reminds me to stand with my neighbours. And yes, he was laid to rest in a toolbox.

"The default position when it comes to communicating #overshoot should be that we expect temperatures to remain at whatever level for not just decades but centuries." #ClimateEmergency

Zero shade to the investigators, but I honestly thought this was common knowledge. Kinda surprised to learn it isn't

Truth 👇

I've been seeing a lot the "time to get to work to build a Canada that works for Alberta" in the wake of the referendum and I'm sorry but no, fuck that. That accepts the framing by conservatives (and fueling the idiotic separatism movement) that something is broken and in need of fixing.

My Alberta includes: - Immigrants - Healthcare for everyone - Voting that is a right not a privilege - LGBQTIA+ rights - Abortion that is included as healthcare - Public education - MAiD - Ethical energy industry - Canada Be kind out there people. ✌️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤗🫶

“Neofascism can be beaten. Its advance relies on our acquiescence. And our acquiescence comes from not having taken its measure. And the response to their delusions can’t be delusions of our own. We’re in a new reality now. And we have to face it head on.” www.liberalcurrents.com/fascists-rea...

For years scientists warned: Clear 20-25% of the Amazon and it collapses. We've cleared 17%. This isn't a future problem. It's happening now.

“A judge has ordered the Alberta government and Alberta Health Services (AHS) to disclose records they had sought to keep private, or claimed did not exist, to the agency’s former chief executive officer Athana Mentzelopoulos” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Neat. #abpoli

With great consistency, people who prefer authoritarianism to democracy envision themselves in charge. Could be them personally, could be vicarious, but they're always the boot, not the face. It's basically a way to say everyone should shut up and accept that we're doing my preferences, not theirs.

The Congo Basin is the world's largest carbon sink, absorbing 1.5 BILLION tons of CO2 yearly. It's Africa's lungs. And it's being logged right now. If the Amazon is burning, the Congo is bleeding. Protect it. #SaveCongoBasin

Today for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation I split my time between the Confluence and the inaugural Indigenous Pop-Up Care Village at the Sunalta Community Hub. Reconciliation represents our shared past and shared future 1/

Hey Alberta, if you need to photocopy your driver’s license or ID to send with your mail in referendum ballots, your local library can help with that.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

Iran is back to trolling him again.

This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding. It is true. It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true: 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

I had a day from hell yesterday and had to clean my entire (under renovation) house for suprise guests with 90 min notice. The very best friend in the world showed up with her vaccuum, cleaning supplies, and a wild-blueberry crumble (*still hot). Also the largest puffball I've ever seen.

Pollution levels in London after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

mRNA vaccines vs cancer success —melanoma (Phase 3, RCT, definitive, announced today) —triple negative breast cancer —pancreatic cancer —non-small cell lung cancer —glioblastoma

A win! A federal appeals court upheld an EPA rule requiring polluters to help pay for cleaning up toxic PFAS “forever chemicals,” rejecting an industry challenge to the rule. This keeps the financial burden where it belongs on the companies responsible for the pollution!

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

This is REALLY important. “Over 50% of Americans say climate change is a serious threat; only 10% think their compatriots feel the same That perception gap on the issue is among the highest in the world, per a new Gallup poll.” They want you to think you’re alone. You’re not. #ClimateCrisis

A John Wick reboot, but he’s hunting down AI companies that buy rare books and do this.

Agreed.

Good lord do ALL of them have ties with Calgary??? Smith Pollievre Harper Kenney Cruz I grew up there, starting to wonder if it's something I should be worried about.

The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

Think an independent Alberta could just ship most of its oil and gas directly to the US? Think again. Or in the case of separatist leaders: think once. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

What they taught in school: GDP up = good. What they left out: The atmosphere has a limit Soil can die Water runs out 8 billion people need a living planet, not just a growing economy

The number is even more impressive. For the record, the correct temp from the article is -22°F (-30°C)! "A brand-new Denza Z9GT, which recently debuted in Europe, was deep-frozen at -22°F (-30°C) for 24 hours, making everything nice and crispy. The EV still charged in only 12 minutes. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋

Whoops

New inflation data out today and wow what can you say about these Alberta car insurance rates other than ... wow. 😳

Hi everybody, I organized the #Artemis2 photos for you. Index pages containing all ~10,000 images in chronological order with time stamps and focal lengths, color coded by which of three cameras was used to shoot them. countlessworlds.com/data/artemis/
