Today is my last day at the @FortMacToday! Over the last year, this position has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I'm really proud of the work I've done in collaboration with some incredible people and communities.

Heres' a thread of highlights! ✨

🧵 of three fantastic *new* episodes!
For Tanya Talaga, memory is not just about the past. It’s a tool for survival and resistance. Tanya’s new book ‘The Knowing’ is a must read, I loved talking with her on the podcast 🎧 @TanyaTalaga #TruthAndReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay 1/8

Thanks to @LWEstudio's novel Junie, I learned about Hogan's Alley, a predominantly Black neighbourhood torn down in the 1970s that now it has a second chance at life.

My latest for @thewalrus: https://t.co/3ExWRhvqnl

Oct. 4 is the National Day of Action for MMIWG. Here is your reminder that the national inquiry’s calls for justice outlines several steps that journalists can take to help end violence against Indigenous women, girls & gender diverse people.

My last feature for the CBC this summer!

Researchers explained AI’s role in mitigating climate change and equity concerns that can come with it 🌍

[CBC News @CBCNews]

Researchers at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) are using AI modelling to warn farmers about risks to their crops as weather becomes more unpredictable. https://t.co/tt0fzEiIIq

[Yasmin Rafiei @YasminRafiei]

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46

[Miriam Valdes-Carletti @mvaldescarletti]

There are no words to describe what a huge loss this is for CTV National News and journalism in Canada.

All I can say as a young female journalist is that these cold layoffs make it impossible for us to dream because clearly, no one is safe.

[Sarah Williscraft @s_williscraft]

Climate anxiety is an ongoing issue and these researchers are working towards solutions. My latest for @CBCScienceEnv @CBCNews

Calling Canadian heat wave experts! Should we be naming heat waves similar to how we name hurricanes and cyclones? @CBCScienceEnv wants to know! Send me a dm or email [email protected]

[Sarah Williscraft @s_williscraft]

@StumillerDavis @CBCScienceEnv Thanks Stuart!!

[Sarah Williscraft @s_williscraft]

I forgot to tell Twitter I started an internship with @CBCScienceEnv last week! I’ll be here for the rest of the summer so send any science and climate news tips to [email protected] ✨✨

[Vincent McDermott @vincemcdermott]

@ShaunaMarieMack @RCMPAlberta Yes. It’s a wonder why anyone still thinks a revolving door of officers coming to the community is a good approach to local policing when it just creates a deployment mentality (“Get me out of here!”).

[Vincent McDermott @vincemcdermott]

Second time I’ve had a press release from @RCMPAlberta mentioning a First Nation that doesn’t exist. First it was “Fort Chipewyan First Nation” and now it’s “Gregoire Lake First Nation.” A victory for community policing.

@laurenhollis16 @Harry_Styles okay but a you and I cover would have me in tears
