An incredible auroral display in Beaver, Alaska, filmed in real-time (NOT sped up) and NOT AI (never will post AI aurora content on my pages). This display occured when I was helping with a NASA sounding rocket mission earlier this year.

Good article, but there’s one understated piece: higher land use of organic ag means that if we shift toward organic at current consumption patterns, more natural ecosystems need to be cleared for farming, causing carbon losses, making total GHG emissions of organic usually higher vs. conventional.
Our World in Data@ourworldindata.org · last wk.📝 New article on Our World in Data: Is organic farming better for the environment than conventional farming? One of the most common questions we’re asked about food systems is whether organic farming is better for the environment than conventional methods.
Not many people know this, but in Southern Saskatchewan you can find commercial marshmallow farms. the marshmallows are then sent to refineries where they’re processed and packaged for sale. Thank a mallow farmer next time you’re around a campfire having s’mores!

I've seen inside the Remain campaigns. This report is 100% accurate. Conservative partisans and business owners are sitting on the sidelines as we sleepwalk into this fall's referendum, leaving the rest of us to get out the vote. Result will be close. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/70a7e73...

You're looking at a piebald DEER FAWN, video by wildlife rescuer Leondra Scherer in Upstate NY. I'd like to explore the biology of how animals get these unusual coats & what it can tell us about how animals develop. But first, let's meet a piebald MOOSE. (📷: L Scherer, @fuzzyfawnwildlife on IG)

I just signed the petition to stop the federal government from cutting health care for refugees on May 1. These cuts will deny care to people fleeing war and torture — and cost us all more in the long run. Add your name before it's too late: migrantrights.ca/actionslist/...
Stop Cuts to Refugee Healthcare - Migrant Rights Network
On May 1, 2026, the federal government will force refugees and asylum seekers to pay out-of-pocket for essential health care including critical medications, dental care, mental health counseling, vision care, and physiotherapy under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Send an email to decision makers now – we only have weeks left to stop this
