I have a tiny back yard now bursting with local plants. Cannot describe the joy of seeing a surprising array of birds and bugs spending time there. Bees I had never seen before now find safe haven. Lovely.

Metrolinx promised a tracker to follow the progress of the Scarborough subway extension tunnel, which was supposed to be done by now. The tracker never appeared, and the tunnel is rumoured to be stuck at barely 20% completion, as costs skyrocket. Metrolinx refuses to explain what is going on #onpoli

What the absolute fuck is this? Carney: 1. If Iran has a nuclear weapon that would be destabilizing to the ME. Because it’s a bedrock of stability now? 2. We support Israel’s right to defend itself. From Iran? Hasn’t Israel been striking them first for over a year? 1/2

What's the oldest named, continuously-running scheduled train in the world? Not the Sunset Limited, or The Orient Express, or even South Africa's Blue Train. It's The Ocean, which has been taking passengers from #Halifax to #Montreal since 1904. I took my family for a ride... 🚂🧵

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

If we're just figuring this out about a disease that we have long considered ubiquitous and have had around as long as we can remember, that most people can only get once, why is everyone so eager to go out and get COVID as often as possible?

In a meeting today, Sidsel Birk Hjuler pointed out a facet of motonormativity that even I had failed to see: why do we talk about people using people-sized vehicles as MICROmobility? How did people driving around with 4 empty seats get normalized as "mobility"?
