The remarkable Artemis II mission isn’t making me more passionate about Mars. It’s making me more passionate about Earth.

Today in 1977 began the 504 sit-ins by disabled people. The protest was the longest occupation of a federal building and a reminder that our human rights and access protections were not gifts from the ableds, but fought for by us, and in this instance with a big assist from the Black Panther party.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

‘Historical mission’: Squamish creates Land Back task force with Squamish Nation, sets mandate through 2028
A new joint task force between the District of Squamish and the Squamish Nation is now officially underway after council approved its mandate Tuesday night—an initiative leaders say is aimed at research, public engagement and building a framework for future decisions about publicly held land.

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
You know, they straightened out the Mississippi River in places, to make room for houses and livable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places. "Floods" is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering. Remembering where it used to be. All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

Abuse of children is fractally self-similar to all the other patterns of domination that hold each other up and that often find embodiment in the most powerful people in our current destructive systems - white supremacy, nature domination, and patriarchy to just a few.

Screenshot of a tweet from Evan Solomon. It has two photos of him meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Canada with the caption: This morning, I met with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada as part of ongoing engagement on technology, AI, and economic development. Dialogue matters, particularly in complex times. / Ce matin, j'ai rencontré l'ambassadeur d'Israël au Canada dans le cadre d'un engagement continu en matière de technologie, d'intelligence artificielle et de développement économique.

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.

We saw it early in the pandemic, in every climate shock & now in Minneapolis. The impulse of most people in a crisis is to share, connect & protect, often at risk to the self. Capitalism and existing power structures have trouble comprehending it and then often try to undermine it

One of the coolest things a student ever wrote after taking my Indigenous Studies intro course was, "if settler colonization is a structure, not an event, then reconciliation needs to be a structure." And she was absolutely correct.
