A Buried Sin, a Hometown Reckoning via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Culture/2025... Loved this read, especially as I now volunteer in a Treasure Shop in my new community in BC. I don't have 1 place to return to as we moved every 2 to 4 yrs as the family of UCC minister. The most difficult move as a teen.

The 'Land Grab' That Gave One-Quarter of Vancouver Island to a Rail Baron via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/07... Awesome article. Questions that need to be ask for similar reasons coast to coast to coast. Unlike AB & east, BC doesn't have the same history of treaties. Not that they were honored

What We Really Know About the Microplastics Inside Us via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/07... About time this area of research was taken seriously. Harrowsmith ~1985 published an article about plastic cutting boards vs wooded ones I wish I'd kept it. You'll never see a plastic one in my kitchen!

@haggisking.bsky.social · 3w agoI presume their politicians are not owned by American fossil fuel moguls like the UK?
We too could deliver this. But corrupt governments are our problem ‼️ They are bought by 💰 We must weed them out. Take back our services and invest in our future. Rid oligarchy, corporate power & corrupt media. Wealth taxed.
More or less what they argue in Australia. Our home solar is so productive they’re giving it away for free, hike we bear the costs of production.
No wonder the coal barons in Auz are buying up AB with D. Smith's encouragement.

A Tiny BC Farming Town's Fight Against Billionaire Speculators via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/07... BC IMHO hasn't seen the importance of farming. Factory farms seen on the prairies aren't viable except on lower mainland where flooding's an issue BUT small niche farms & ranches certainly are.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
Bethan's Rock is a small grey stone on display at Poole Museum in Poole, England. It was donated to the museum in 2019 by a five-year-old girl named Bethan, and it has since attracted significant attention on social media and become the museum's most famous object. - Wikipedia
Amanda Marcotte: The Texas GOP clearly thinks mandating Bible reading in classes will boost right-wing Christianity. In my experience, however, actually reading the Bible often has the opposite effect: it reveals how silly or hypocritical the Christian right is. www.salon.com/2026/07/01/t...
Texas Republicans may regret mandating Bible in classes
Debating Christianity in class will likely create more non-believers

Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?

Just read Christopher Holcroft 3 part series on the Brosphere culture appearing in Ottawa. Can't recommend it highly enough. It pretty much sums up everything that is making me uneasy about what's happening in Ottawa. I WAS a life long Liberal supporter, voted for PET in '73, my 1st vote!
LOL!! Reading some very OLD Sci-Fi is very interesting. Jules Verne, HG Wells, also the women who had to write under pseudonyms to be published. Many of the women were exposing social injustice of course not so much Sci-Fi...all the Bronte sisters for instance.
