Empathy in all things. Never met a dog I didn't love. My views are my own. (she/hers)

@carolynhparrish @BonnieCrombie @DavidMaungLim1 Don’t you support putting an enormous data centre in Meadowvale? How exactly is that caring, @carolynhparrish?

@NatashaWalli Woah! Amazing work!

NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THIS!

WE CAN'T AFFORD HOMES!

OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS ON FIRE!

OUR CLASSROOMS ARE FALLING APART!

Ontario doesn't need an election. It's a cynical play from a crooked government. Don't give Ford and inch. Send him packing.

$170 million for Premier Doug Ford’s power grab snap election would go a long way if that money was spent on health care, education, housing, infrastructure, and dealing with the cost of living crisis we are facing. We deserve better, and I am fighting hard for #Nepean. #onpoli

Canada may not be for sale according to Premier Ford’s hat, but Ontario’s Greenbelt, health care, and public services certainly have been! Actions speak louder than words. #onpoli

Low voter turnout and lack of civic engagement in our elections is a very real threat to our democracy

Friendly reminder that the housing crisis and homelessness are the consequences of a society that sees housing as an investment, instead of a human right.

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crises we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered.

This summed up our experience of 2023, as it happened.

It's been an honor to be part of this crucial research, led by the great @WilliamJRipple and Christopher Wolf.

Jeez, this is bad. New study finds that bottled water contains a lot more plastic particles than previously thought -- and most of them are "nanoplastics" so small they can cross the blood-brain barrier: https://t.co/S3FSjIJz2H via @corinnepurtill @susrust

Welcome to 2024!

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I think about climate basically all the time. And one thing I wonder is why the Earth getting irreversibly hotter just doesn’t seem all that scary or even urgent to most people. To me it’s truly horrific. I wonder if my brain just works differently or something.

So do the wasps just know it’s officially September, then?

[UBC Okanagan @ubcokanagan]

Many people have been asking how they can help. Donations can be made to the UBC Okanagan Student Emergency Assistance Fund to provide financial support to students who have been displaced and distressed by recent events.
