In November 2021, photojournalist Amber Bracken was arrested while documenting tensions over the Coastal GasLink pipeline being built on Wet’suwet’en territory, where I live. More than 1,000 km from Vancouver, this place isn’t easy to get to — and the pipeline was even harder to access. 🧵

Trump said of Greenland, “They called me daddy. A very smart man said, ‘He’s our daddy, he’s running it.”
I think he’s confusing Greenland with a different island.

New from me today for @nationalobserver.com. I submitted an FOI request, which revealed the province’s ad campaign budget for the Ring of Fire. One budget line lists nearly $60,000 for “additional costs as a result of eliminating shoe scene from TV spot.” WHAT IS A SHOE SCENE

60 workers at Ubisoft’s studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia voted to form a union.
In response, Ubisoft announced it was closing the entire studio. Maybe it’s time to look into the millions they get in public money for operating in Canada.

My first #BirdOfTheDay entry, for today’s theme of #ShortBeaks: this redpoll, sporting a short-but-mighty beak. I never hesitate to dole out props for these tough little birds, who come to Manitoba to spend the winter. #birds

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

That's on the list but maybe we could address datacenters, private mega yacht & jet travel, cruise ships, new pipelines, government blocking renewable systems, lack of public transit, trains & bikes lanes....

Working people are facing real and growing challenges: the rising cost of living, housing and food insecurity, precarious work, attacks on public services, and growing inequality. These challenges demand a labour council that is unified, organized, visible, and unapologetically pro-worker.

Authors, remember that you CAN insist on human translation for your foreign-language editions and have it written into your contracts. You can no longer just assume you're going to get a human to work on the book whose every word you wrote with intent.

I still don't have any takers here - it's a complex use case, so I didn't expect one right away, but if you know anyone who uses or could benefit from switch access hit me up
Posting this just made me remember something and I’m angry with myself bc I should have said this sooner
I have a lot used for testing that ends up not being used, and I have this Xbox adaptive controller and the full kit. Happy to ship it to any gamer who HAS THE NEED for the full controller
