Every time you see this kind of information, take action! Buy a copy of a banned book or check out a book on the list from your library or Libby (online library) Choose a banned book by a living author so that they will get paid

With Halloween coming up, it's time for the reminder to avoid buying/using fake spiderwebs. They can entangle and entrap birds. There's some good alternative ideas on this web page ... birdlife.org.au/news/bird-sa...

The Icelandic word for psychologist is "sálfræðingur". It literally means "soul expert". For short we call them "sáli" or "soulie".

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour all of those impacted by residential schools and continue to advocate for decolonization, decriminalization and decarceration. This day serves as a reminder that the harm caused by residential schools is profound and persists in Canada. (1/4)

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost. This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

The whole point of дезинформация or dezinformatsiya (disinformation) was to literally change people’s brains. It was to influence opinion. Make people overwhelmed. Make people more gullible, and vulnerable to untruths, and more cynical. People in this state are easier to influence and control.
