"We had a generational opportunity to turn #OntarioPlace into Central Park, but instead [Ford's] going with Atlantic City. On brand."

"The saddest thing about this whole Ontario Place debacle is one day (and hopefully soon), Doug will be gone.
Out of office, out of the picture, likely disgraced.
But we’ll still be stuck with this giant turd on the waterfront. Quite likely for multiple generations. A monument to #corruption."

Want to help the bees?

1. Stop using pesticides. This includes "green" pesticides and mosquito misters.

2. Plant a diversity of flowers, if you have space.

3. If you have land, leave some bare patches, as most native bees are soil-nesters.

4. Leave dead trees and plants to stand for the wood and twig-nesting species.

5. Vote against politiicians who are insensitive to environmental concerns. You know the ones. Out with them.

6. Vote for politicians who expand protected areas.

Bunge, Cargill, COFCO, Amaggi, ADM do Brasil, Viterra and General Mills bought #soy and #corn in an area where “grain laundering” is admitted by producers and civil servants.

The illegal crops came from areas on the border of the #Amazon Rainforest which had restrictions for production, but the real origin of the grains were concealed through paperwork.

The revelations come from a joint #investigation by the Brazilian news outlets Repórter Brasil and O Joio e o Trigo.

Reddit community megathread at r/Halifax regarding the #wildfire situation there.

Four emergency alerts in the span of a few hours. Evacuation zones are getting larger. Take care, folks.

Certainly, one wilderness fire does not show climate change. Certainly not 2. Nor 3.

However, if year over year the numbers keep increasing for number of fires and size of each fire, there is something different. Alberta has had over 500 so far this season.
So many do not want climate change in the political debate of the province even now but if not now, when? Do those who have lost homes and business in a growing list of towns want to talk of it??

Tomorrow is decision day in #abpoli. If you live in Alberta, and haven’t noticed, there’s an election going on right now - and basically it’s a toss-up between the centre-right edition of the NDP under Notley, or a far right, radicalized party in the UCP under Danielle Smith.

The decision made tomorrow will be whether we move fast, or we take a bit more time. If we get a UCP government, I want to be out of AB by the end of the year at the latest - I will not be a target. #abelxn

Good morning beautiful people 💖💖
Hope you're all having a great start to your day 💖😊
#Today for #Cupofteasocial your #mugshot is another from Mum's, I remember buying this during lockdown when we couldn't visit 😔 There's a hidden message 😀

i just got into bed, which is the highlight of my day on most days ​

BUT NOT TODAY!

#today, the highlight of my day was listening to @viralvulpes's cover of "someone like you" by #adele ​ ​

it's SO good. listen to it. you won't regret it ​ ​

Haven’t shared a lot of my #research on here yet, but #today I’m sharing an #openaccess paper I’m particularly #proud of 🥹. We used #expertopinion to develop a #cumulativeeffects model of the #multiplestressors affecting the #Arctic seabird Northern Fulmar. #fishing, #climatechange, #oil and #mining as well as resulting #boat traffic, #noise pollution, and #contaminants including #plastic are big contributors.

Still working on my first cup of coffee, but grateful I can pull up Mastodon. Last evening I kept getting error messages on both phone app and PC, no matter what I did. No clue what was going on. Like me, a little sleep seems to have solved the problem.

#today

#today is the second anniversary of my moving into this little place. It was about three months after the split. #SignOn Now, to check what my mastofans are getting up to.

Lot of writing got done #today I'm in that rare groove where I don't want to stop. It's the best feeling.

Did, stop, though, to have tea with my sister at Kalk Baai. The tea place had windows looking out on this scene in the photo:

It is COLD today. Frikken cold.

#AmWriting #CapeTown

It's time to BOOST! 🚀

Share your daily life using #today on Mastodon. Acknowledging someone's life can make them feel seen and appreciated. Let's show the world how much better Mastodon is by caring about each other.

You rock!

Puffin In Bluebells.

The Isle Of Lunga is always a special place to visit and spend a few hours, but right now, with both the sea pinks and bluebells in bloom, it's heavenly.
