Sarah Kendzior (@sarahkendzior) I’ve been suspended from BlueSky. I don’t know why. I wasn’t online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explana...

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Ski goggles for cold-weather biking make my eyes so SO happy.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

I think maybe people want to vote for good people?

It's already a meme. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

This Physicist Says We Don’t Take COVID Seriously Enough | The Tyee We downplay the virus at our peril, warns Yaneer Bar-Yam. And children are more at risk than we thought.

“We may be living through a slow-moving immune decline crisis”

"...researchers are now beginning to see a link between repeat COVID infections and rising cancer rates in young people."

I'd like us to try the experiment where journalists could only report on what politicians did, and not a word of what they say.

What would it even mean to get a deal? Moment to moment, any perceived agreement can be revised or cancelled with no penalties to Trump or the U.S.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

Foreground: A person's ankle and booted-feet 2/3 submerged under water at the edge of a lake. Background: the water surface, reeds and forest on the other side of the lake a few 100m away. The water is mostly transparent, fully showing the Keen boots standing on a sparkly sandy bottom with some small plants growing around.

I love being able to cool down my feet mid hike (Slim Bay @ Charleston Lake Provincial Park) while keeping them totally dry! Thanks for the super comfy, 100% waterproof boots

I’ve maintained this from the get. A small handful of people will own the entire agricultural industry and the land in the US. It’s been the plan for many years. It’s also been no secret what was coming yet it mystifies me as to why farmers have predominantly supported the party that wants this.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.
