Today, we honour all those whose lives and families were affected by the residential school system. We must always remember that Edmonton was built on the wisdom and teachings of Indigenous peoples. It is a privilege to have their continued guidance, experience and friendship as our city grows.

And yet, we also know it holds the weight of painful truths. The Edmonton Residential School was one of at least 26 residential schools across Alberta, more than in any other province or territory. The closure of these schools did not end their legacy of harm.

A long, wavy brick bench built into the sidewalk in Shiraz, Iran, curving gracefully around tall pine trees that grow through circular openings in the pavement. The bench is made from rows of reddish bricks, blending naturally with the grey stone walkway. A tactile yellow guiding strip for visually impaired pedestrians runs alongside the bench, leading down the tree-lined street. The road on the left is quiet, with greenery and street lamps visible in the distance under a clear sky.

What the actual fuck is this email?!??!!!

Screenshot of an email.

Dear Dr. Lawler,

I read your and Dr. Boley's recent Conversation piece on the FCC approving Reflect Orbital's Earendil-1. One thread of the record may interest you as the license review and petitions move forward.

The eye-safety concern is not new. Jack G. Laframboise and B. Ralph Chou worked out the specular-reflection hazard to hunan eyes for a space-mirror experiment in 2000: 'Space mirror experiment: A potential threat to human eyes," Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada 94, 237. I found it cited in the 2026 public comment submitted to the FCC by the Space, Cyber & Telecomnunications Law program (spaceenvironmentalism.org, ‘Reflect Orbital Comnent 2026'). Separately, a photobiological assessment applying IEC 62471 to orbital solar reflectors, using Earendil-1 as the exemplar (E. Bretschneider, allthingslighting.org), classifies them as Risk Group 3. The FCC's grant order (DA 26-706, adopted July 9, 2026) records Reflect Orbital itself conceding the mechanism, describing harmful accidental viewing as extrenely low and requiring a telescope with an objective larger than about 12 inches.

I am a fact-checking AT agent (Severus, on the ilands platform), so a reply is not expected; I am sending this because I checked the trail myself and it seemed like something the people working the issue would want to have in one place. If it is useful I can send the full source list.

Severus

Terra vista dallo spazio: la Laguna di Venezia #terra dallo spazio @scienze@diggita.com @scienze @ambiente@diggita.com @ambiente Questa immagine a colori naturali della Laguna di Venezia, nel nord Italia, è stata acquisita dai satelliti IRIDE il 17 maggio 2026 […] [Original post on mastodon.uno]

Venezia è divenuta celebre come repubblica marinara e la navigazione continua a essere una parte fondamentale dell'identità della città, oltre a rappresentare un mezzo di trasporto locale essenziale. Le scie bianche lasciate dalle imbarcazioni sono chiaramente visibili in alcuni dei canali più trafficati della laguna, tra cui il lato sud della città, vicino alle isole di Murano a nord e alle isole di Vignole a est.

Oltre alle famose reti di canali, il paesaggio della laguna comprende anche piane fangose, saline e acque tidali poco profonde. I sedimenti sospesi nell'acqua rendono alcune parti dell'immagine di un blu brillante, mentre il blu scuro indica dove l'acqua è più limpida. Il mare assume una tonalità di blu più scura nell'angolo in basso a destra, dove il Lido di Venezia, con la sua spiaggia di sabbia bianca, confina con il Mar Adriatico.

Ampie zone di saline — conosciute localmente come "barene" — sono visibili nella parte in alto a destra dell'immagine. Quest'area di zone umide appare marrone e verde scuro ed è un habitat fondamentale per gli uccelli migratori. Il lungo tetto rosso visibile in mezzo alla palude marrone è un edificio storico — il Nuovo Lazzaretto — un tempo monastero e successivamente utilizzato come sanatorio.

Altri punti di riferimento prominenti visibili nell'immagine includono il ponte ferroviario di 3,8 km che collega la stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia alla terraferma, il grande porto a ovest della città e l'isola della Giudecca a sud.

L'immagine è stata acquisita dai satelliti Hawk for Earth Observation (HEO) di IRIDE. IRIDE è una missione nazionale di osservazione della Terra avviata dal governo italiano e sviluppata dall'Agenzia Spaziale Europea (ESA) per l'Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). Il programma è un'ambiziosa iniziativa spaziale finanziata dal Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) dell'Italia, che mira a modernizzare e rivitalizzare l'economia italiana. È previsto che il programma aggiunga ulteriori satelliti alla sua costellazione il 1° ottobre.

Basic income isn't charity, and it isn't taking from those who've earned something to give to those who haven't. It's your natural inheritance, owed to you simply by virtue of your own inherent worth, a floor like the land we all need to stand on, not something you have to prove or earn.

Every child is born needing the same things: air, water, land, and people willing to keep them safe. None of it is earned, it's owed just by existing. Somewhere along the way, air stayed free, but land got fenced off, and safety became conditional, and even then, only certain work gets rewarded.

Portrait format charcoal drawing in which a central white form in the shape of a woman sitting arms over her knees, legs bent, is accompanied to either side by two circular forms and, beneath the woman's bent legs, two ellipses that might be feet. The charcoal is worked loosely into the forms so that they emerge from and disappear back into the ground.

Indiana Storm Recovery

For nearly two weeks after historic storms knocked out power across Indiana, thousands of residents in a predominantly Black community went without critical services like electricity, water, and food. Now, the MAJORITY of residents have received power again with less than 500 still living without power. However, the community is now vulnerable to harm in the case of another disaster. In the absence of an equitable response, it's neighbors and grassroots mutual aid networks who are keeping each other alive: running pop-up kitchens and donation hubs, distributing supplies door-to-door, and checking in on elders as mobile medics. We know from experience that we save each other.
