Darren Barefoot died on February 20, 2023 following complications from metastatic cancer. Just weeks before he passed, Darren wrote this reflection on his life. I hope you find pleasure in it. https://t.co/6xknZCOVml

@TheSmithTower This is a long shot, but we recently purchased these doors and had them installed in our house as exterior doors. I'm wondering if you might know anything about where they were used in the building? https://t.co/cMfLUeCXKK

@BrentToderian Do you know the paved pathway between Torino and Ucluelet? Is that unique to that place or do you think that’s viable in other places like the Gulf Islands?

[Darren Barefoot @dbarefoot]

@waxpancake Thanks for this. I shared it with colleagues as a really readable illustration of the future issues we face with regards to AI media generation.

ANNOUNCEMENT! A very special collaboration between CPAWS and a young Indigenous artist will be unveiled at Parliament Hill on Wednesday.

We must act now to protect more land and ocean in Canada. Nature can’t wait, and neither can we. #WeCantWait #30X30

Owning an affectionate cat is like being on a 12 to 15 year escort mission.

I'm looking for a @culturebrewart-style directory or similar resource to find Canadian BIPOC illustrators for a project. Do you know of any such resource?

Bitcoin mining is just as bad for the environment as drilling for oil. https://t.co/vSn3tDph7c

@ianb Sports survived the banning of tobacco products. They'll figure it out. Half of the biggest soccer/football teams in the world are sponsored by betting companies.

A ban on fossil fuel advertising is a powerful idea that could catch on.

#FossilFuel companies are gaslighting us, We need the government to step up & take action to protect our #health & well-being. That's why we're asking you to send a one-click letter to your elected officials to apply the pressure. Take action here: https://t.co/M746kTR6R3

@fwong I was listening to episode #44 of @dungeonsanddads and was surprised to hear a Weakerthans outro. I thought they were a Canadian secret.

The feather insertion behind our company sign carries on apace. Is it one dedicated person or just random strangers?

Just saw this comment on Reddit regarding this: "Not sure why it's like that in the trailer, but in the show the poster definitely said Live Aid."

[Darren Barefoot @dbarefoot]

In the new Quantum Leap, our hero jumps back to 1985 and notices this "Concert for World Hunger" poster. This is surely a reference to Live Aid, which happened that year. Why not just refer to Live Aid?

Also, the poster designer does not understand how guitars work.

[Darren Barefoot @dbarefoot]

I only just noticed that every second band name is exactly the same length. Was it just Cyndi Lauper and The Replacements appearing over and over again?

[Darren Barefoot @dbarefoot]

@heatherlibby I, for one, am never sure what year an upcoming concert might happen in.

[Darren Barefoot @dbarefoot]

@CapsOffside You're right. I thought I counted six strings.

[Clean Creatives @cleancreatives]

Today we’re releasing the F-List 2022: a list of 230+ ad and PR agencies helping fossil fuel companies greenwash, mislead, and obstruct climate action.

If you work in our industry, you deserve to know the facts about the agencies working for polluters. A🧵https://t.co/hJTJdhItMj

"Give us credit for resolving the problem we created with our rent-seeking investment product." That is some nonsense framing from @BusinessInsider. https://t.co/bzqsXfFyoq
