New from me: American government scientists are being barred from meeting with Canadian counterparts. I've obtained internal NOAA memos ordering all international scientific collaboration meetings be submitted for review www.cbc.ca/news/science... #ClimateChange #UsPoli #AAASmtg

Department of Transportation orders all personnel to "identify and eliminate" every order, directive, rule, regulation, policy, notice, guidance document, funding arrangement, or program that even mentions climate change, diversity, or environmental justice www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Donald Trump’s executive orders seeking to eliminate D.E.I. initiatives and erase the recognition of trans and non-binary people have threatened the very mission of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. nyer.cm/CUgteNW

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif removes his helmet and announces a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. His voice steady as his fellow Palestinians lift him into the air in celebration. For 15 months, the Al-Jazeera correspondent has reported on the genocide of his people in Gaza.

In the past six days, the @wsj.com has run 7 climate denial opinions- and they're not just stupid and wrong, they're objectively bad! These two subheds are basically the same! Must be nice to be able to just madlib your work every day so long as it attacks Dems and licks Big Business boots

This has been bugging me for years: the idea that deep-sea mining is, somehow, supposed to--by law--benefit "mankind as a whole." How, exactly, could such a thing work? Well, this is what the ISA has come up with: hakaimagazine.com/news/how-exa...

Today is my last day with @hakaimagazine.com. They gave me one of my first breaks as a freelancer nearly a decade ago, and I've had a relationship with them ever since. It's bittersweet to say goodbye, but I'm excited for the next chapter. Here's a 🧵 of some stories I've worked on over the years

Despite a Supreme Court decision affirming Indigenous communities' right to fish for a moderate livelihood, dozens of Mi'kmaw fishers still find themselves before the courts. For @hakaimagazine.com —and in collaboration with Ku'ku'kwes News— I profiled one of them hakaimagazine.com/features/the...

This is fascinating. Every time I read something about Māori culture it gets even more awesome.

Guess what?! And remember, the team @hakaimagazine.com is shuffling over to join biographic.com -- find us there in January!

Move towards renewable energy is unstoppable, says Ed Miliband

This is amazing news! Hakai has fantastic coverage of coastal matters and I’m glad they’re migrating to a new home. Support if you can.

In July, we told you that Hakai Magazine will close at the end of December. Since sharing that devastating news, we’ve worked very hard to find a way to keep publishing the ocean and coastal journalism that you love. We’re happy to finally announce that our team has a new home!

The Hakai Team has been working tirelessly to find a new home, and it's finally happening! @hakaimagazine.com and bioGraphic will be joining forces. But we need your help! If you're able, please donate. No amount is too small. 🐳🧜‍♀️💙🙏

Now the biggest @hakaimagazine.com news of the week! In January, Hakai will join forces with bioGraphic. This means more great environmental journalism focused on oceans, coasts, and biodiversity. But to get off the ground, we need your help and donations! www.biographic.com/hakai-magazi...

Here it is! A (very) incomplete Bluesky starter pack for @hakaimagazine.com alumni and frequent contributors. If you want me to add you, just ping me! go.bsky.app/LwdshPR

Hooray! Well done, @serenarenner.bsky.social! Thank you for writing such a thoughtful story on a phenomenon we will experience more and more with climate change. And thanks to @sarahmgilman.bsky.social, a great editor.

What an incredible honor to win an AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Award for my @hakaimagazine.com feature "A River Runs Above Us." Thanks to the judges for renewing my motivation to keep doing the difficult, often depressing, work of climate change reporting. sjawards.aaas.org/news/2024-aa...

A HUUUUUUUUUUGE congratulations to @serenarenner.bsky.social, whose feature on atmospheric rivers took home a GOLD from this year's Kavli awards: hakaimagazine.com/features/a-r... sjawards.aaas.org/news/2024-aa...

In this brave @hakaimagazine.com feature, J.B. MacKinnon explores polarization and local opposition to the Klamath River dam removals, and finds himself "holding two realities in mind that seem hardly able, these days, to share the same space." Timely indeed. hakaimagazine.com/features/the...

I have returned to this book SO many times in my career. I once boarded a flight, filled with despair and ready to quit. By the time I landed, I'd devoured the book and was ready to fight again. She's offering the ebook for free right now! Take advantage of this! It will inspire you.

Praying for all the people and life downstream of this landslide-caused "lake" on the Chilcotin River in BC. Look out for yourselves and each other... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is so sad to hear! Hakai is an amazing publication and a regular read on my rotation. Really diverse, intriguing, smart, deep, provocative, unique coastal journalism.

I'm devastated to share the news that @hakaimagazine.com —a dream publication to work and write for, not to mention read—will stop publishing at the end of 2024. But the team is working hard to keep our coastal journalism alive! Sign up for newsletter updates: hakaimagazine.com/newsletter-s...

I'm gonna be processing this for a while, but just want to thank the National Magazine Awards and all my talented colleagues at @hakaimagazine.com and beyond for this incredible honour and career (life?) highlight 🤯 Thanks especially to my editor, Sarah Gilman 🙏 magazine-awards.com/en/2024winne...

Wealthy travelers and developers have transformed much of the world's coastline into a monocultural tourist trap. What's the impact on local people and their environment? Krista Langlois explores these questions in southern Baja for @hakaimagazine.com. hakaimagazine.com/features/buy...

Is it possible to put the brakes on coastal development, or rather, to develop with the locals in mind? Is everything for sale? hakaimagazine.com/features/buy...

This news from BC is really heartening, and the @hakaimagazine.com story by @serenarenner.bsky.social is excellent: hakaimagazine.com/news/in-coas... — I'll be especially interested in following what's still developing around control of coastal waters...

The Haida Nation and B.C. are signalling a new era for Indigenous relations by affirming Indigenous land ownership. Serena Renner reports.

My latest @hakaimagazine.com story provides crucial context and backstory about the Haida Nation's big #landback win, gaining authority over their unceded homelands from British Columbia. The matching laws enter the @BCLegislature TODAY. Read up folks! hakaimagazine.com/news/in-coas...

In Coastal British Columbia, the Haida Get Their Land Back. By affirming Indigenous land ownership, BC and the Haida Nation signal a new era for Indigenous relations. I'm honoured to add some important context to this big #landback story for @hakaimagazine.com hakaimagazine.com/news/in-coas...
