September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge and reflect on the deep intergenerational harm residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities. Art by Elaine Landry #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
A handprint on an orange background. The handprint is broken into segments, inside of which are different symbols representing elements of Indigenous culture, including animal paw prints, landscapes with trees, and other images drawn from nature. There is a large black eagle feather on the left side of the handprint, and bird silhouettes appear in the upper left hand corner of the image. The words EVERY CHILD MATTERS appear at the bottom of the piece.

And what I mean by that is, there has to be a focus on not only refusing misogyny, but crucially withstanding and ignoring peer pressure. They have to be willing to defy their entire social group to stand up for their own principles. That’s what it takes. Not just goodness. Willingness to stand out.

Vincent van Gogh "Wheatfield with Cypresses" (September 1889) Oil on canvas | 72.1 × 90.9 cm. (28.4 × 35.8 in). National Gallery, London. #ArtSky #VanGogh
"Wheat Field with Cypresses" (1889) by the Dutch Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh. 
The artwork is celebrated for its thick, rhythmic brushstrokes (impasto) that bring the swirling clouds, golden wheat field, and windswept trees to life with vibrant movement. 
Van Gogh painted this landscape during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole mental asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. Inspired by the scenery just outside his window, he considered the towering, dark green cypress trees to be a signature element of the southern French landscape.

As the western provinces move to permanent Daylight Savings Time, there's real safety and health concerns. It should really have been permanent Standard Time. Here's what school facilities need to consider:

8 years ago, I tweeted side-by-side maps from NASA GISS showing global temperatures in 1976 and 2018 – both hot summers in the UK. It subsequently went viral and was printed in the Daily Mail! The 2026 version is stark. Two locally extreme summers separated by 50 years of global climate change.

One of the most underappreciated climate risks is dangerously warm overnight temperatures. We’re seeing an increasing frequency of nighttime lows staying at 80°F (26.67°C) or higher. There’s no question that 2026 was the warmest contiguous US summer for this impact. Data: doi.org/10.7289/V5SX...

<cut to Natalie googling 'hydronyms'> #LakeOntario
A tweet from PM Mark Carney:

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari'io, which, appropriately, means "the lake is beautiful, the lake is big". 

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. 

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario - then, now and always.

Dr. Chandra Says Making Daylight Saving Time Year-Round Would Have Dangerous Consequences

Thursday, July 16, 2026

Dr. Anuj Chandra, Medical Director of the Advanced Center for Sleep Disorders and a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) PAC Board of Delegates, called on the U.S. Senate to reject the Sunshine Protection Act (H.R. 139), which passed the House on July 14 by a vote of 308-117.

Dr. Chandra said, "The bill would make daylight saving time the permanent, year-round standard across the country, eliminating the biannual clock change but locking the nation into the wrong direction - permanent evening light at the cost of dangerously dark winter mornings.

"As physicians who study the science of sleep and circadian rhythm, we have spent years bringing the evidence directly to members of Congress, including through AASM PAC outreach to Senators and Representatives across the country.

The biology…
