#TIFF24. SKETCH -starring Tony Hale, and D’arcy Carden, written/directed by Seth Worley-a funny, terrifying and bighearted movie. Flawless performance by three amazing child actors. Amber’s monster drawings come to life -chaos and hilarity ensue. Seeing it again next weekend.

As an environmental advocate, I am often asked if I have hope. But how can you when you see a graph like this?

“Do you have hope for the future?” “What gives you hope?” These are questions that I have grappled with for years, and my response may be quite blunt.

1. Hope is a dangerous word. Don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of morale, especially in difficult times. It keeps us going. But it can also be used as an excuse for inaction. We say things like, "I hope someone will fix this," or "I hope things will get better soon." But hope on its own will not solve the environmental crisis and the accelerating speed at which it is taking place.

2. If we want to have hope for the future, we have to earn it. We have to take action, daily. Especially those who are most responsible.

3. Equally, this shouldn't leave the rest of us to merely hope they will get on with it. We need everyone to take action now.

4. Hope shouldn't be passive. It's an active journey that can start with all of us becoming environmentally literate. Only when we understand the impact of our actions on the natural world can we make informed decisions.

So please take another really good look at this graph, and understand that every fraction of a degree of warming in our oceans has an enormous impact. Then realise that every action we take matters.

Great piece from @Swongken about the struggles to get into — and out of — social housing in Toronto.

Includes this very striking chart. At this rate, it’ll take Toronto about 26 YEARS to house everyone currently on the waitlist. https://t.co/lcbOxoaj3s

So far, 27 years of COP meetings have been a complete failure; you can't argue with physics. Anyone saying otherwise has fossil fuels or books to sell. #EmergencyMode

Of all the meeting platforms we've used over the last 2 years, Zoom is the one I love most.

Most of us think we know Zoom inside out.

But we don't.

Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know.

Climate health is public health.

120k COVID daily cases in Ont, and we’re walking blind into another disastrous health emergency.

@JustinTrudeau what’s the plan?

#MedTwitter, where is your outrage and advocacy?

How can we do better, when it feels like we’ve failed already?

@DrJenGunter @SimonsonMolly For problem constipation, you need a balance of ‘mush and push’. An osmotic agent like PEG to make it soft/ mushy and a laxative like senna to push things along. As you say, constipation is suffering.
