Rachel Reid, who wrote the popular “Heated Rivalry” novel, has donated $300k to Annapolis Valley Regional Library, “one of the most significant private gifts” in their history. “I credit my local library for being a huge part of the reason I’m a published author today,” Reid said #Halifax #HaliSky

It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.

Africa's highest court is about to hear something historic. For the first time, we're arguing that the climate crisis is a violation of African people's rights and that polluters must be held accountable under African law. Add your name: act.gp/4lCrlH4

African Court to put climate justice into law
This is your moment to be part of history. Let’s tell the African Court to put climate justice into law.

Repetition Explaining to children in nature that a tree is alive, that it communicates with other trees, that it breathes in and out, and that trees also sleep at night, creates an understanding, and what children understand they will protect throughout their lives.💚☘️🌱🌿🌲🌳

Last night I watched my brothers play, The gentle and the reckless one, In a field two yards away. For half a century they were gone Beyond the other side of care To be among the peaceful dead… —Edwin Muir, “The Brothers” from COLLECTED POEMS (Oxford University Press, 1965) #poem #poetry
Edwin Muir
The Brothers

Last night I watched my brothers play,
The gentle and the reckless one,
In a field two yards away.
For half a century they were gone
Beyond the other side of care
To be among the peaceful dead.
Even in a dream how could I dare
Interrogate that happiness
So wildly spent yet never less?
For still they raced about the green
And were like two revolving suns;
A brightness poured from head to head,
So strong I could not see their eyes
Or look into their paradise.
What were they doing, the happy ones?
Yet where I was they once had been.

I thought, How could I be so dull,
Twenty thousand days ago
Not to see they were beautiful?
I asked them, Were you really so
As you are now, that other day?
And the dream was soon away.

For then we played for victory
And not to make each other glad.
A darkness covered every head,
Frowns twisted the original face,
And through that mask we could not see
The beauty and the buried grace.

I have observed in foolish awe
The dateless mid-days of the law
And seen indifferent justice done
By everyone on everyone.
And in a vision I have seen
My brothers playing on the green.

Europe is producing 50% of its electricity from renewables. Shame there is no sun or wind in the US.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

July is Disability Pride Month! Neurodivergence falls under that umbrella, so why not read some neurodivergent books by a neurodivergent author? 🧔🏻📚 #disabilitypridemonth #neurodivergence #horror #darkfantasy #books

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

IKEA didn't build renewable generation to power 1.47 million homes because politicians told them to. They did it because the economics stacked up. With much of the investment already paid off, savings of over half a billion USD per year on electricity costs, the fundamentals become hard to ignore.

Dogs on the internet give me life. Here is our sweet girl, Nikki. Eleven years young and still so beautiful.
An older dog named Nikki rests on the bed staring into the camera. She is beautiful and distinguished.

In April 2024, Spain ran its entire national grid on 100% renewable electricity for a full day — and solar was the single largest contributor. No gas. No coal. No nuclear on standby. The lights stayed on in Madrid and Barcelona with nothing but wind, hydro, and sun. Stop #oilandgas !! #ActOnClimate

It took 4.5 billion years of precise cosmic history to build an Earth that can support human life. Yet, we are risking it all for quarterly earnings. True intelligence means recognizing that a dead planet has a GDP of exactly zero. 🛑💼 #ClimateAction #EarthFirst

The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. One major cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.
