something i don’t think very many people who used to follow news organizations on twitter realize is that all those same organizations have flipboard accounts, and they’re federated, so you can follow them on mastodon

“These companies have poured millions of dollars into covering up what they knew and when they knew it.” “Our painstakingly researched report, Decades of Deceit, comprehensively documents how major fossil fuel companies have misled the public and prevented climate action.” Via @ucs.org #UrbanTruth

The Damning Records the Fossil Fuel Industry Doesn't Want You to See

Fossil fuel companies foresaw the devastating impacts of climate change more than 60 years ago.

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

Extremely grateful that @thediscourse.ca wrote this investigative article for the #CowichanValley. COAP has been actively distorting facts to seed misinformation, create community division and seed dangerous rhetoric against vulnerable groups as well as First Nations. #bcpoli #localgovt

Bylaw 4710: Who was behind the backlash to the Cowichan Valley’s comprehensive zoning bylaw? – The Discourse.

The campaign against Bylaw 4710 was fuelled, in part, by misinformation and an organized group of advocates, highlighting the shifting dynamics of local politics.

I had to return this book to the library before I was able to finish it. I’ll definitely put myself back on the list for it, as I was the one who requested the library bring it in. 😄 (comment on The Practice of Attention)

The Practice of Attention - BookWyrm

A deeply personal invitation to reclaim your focus as a radical act of self-care and creative resistance “When our attention splinters, so do we….It is not an exaggeration to say this book will save your life. It saved mine.”—Holly Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman It’s no secret that our attention is fractured. We look for distraction anytime we have a spare moment or feel bored or uncomfortable. We yearn to be fully immersed in the moment―whether for deep work or pleasure―but we have almost forgotten how. In The Practice of Attention, beloved artist and teacher Cody Cook-Parrott offers a vulnerable exploration of how they overcame social media and technology addiction, sharing their “road map for reclaiming the most precious of resources: our time.” For Cody, digital distractions shared parallels with alcohol and other addictions—trying to escape painful parts of life through dopamine hits and other highs. Social media use enabled workaholism and distraction from real life and tough choices. After working through the practices in this book, Cody permanently deleted their Instagram account, which had over 80,000 followers, so they are now “free of the comparison, the doom scrolling, and the constant back and forth.” But you don’t have to delete social media to benefit from the suggestions in this book! With a focus on the art of presence rather than the science of productivity, Cody encourages you to: • Investigate what you’re avoiding and who benefits when you distract yourself • Conduct an Attention Audit to understand where you place your focus (and lose it) throughout the day and the week • Implement a Digital Detox in ways that feel nourishing and meaningful • Cultivate daily rituals rather than routines • Nurture practices that bring fun, play, and spaciousness into your life, including hobbies, movement, creativity, research, and being of service • Foster curiosity and devotion, and letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing Shifting our attention has profound power on how we experience ourselves and those around us. Cody writes, “This is my wish: that you feel less pull toward your screen and more pull toward your life.”
