I love my #e-cargo #bike /replacement minivan 'Falcor' & this video explains why #Victoria is such a great place to cycle! Bike lanes are still controversial, but the huge growth in all ages/stages cycling is a testament to the joy of active transport as well as safe, inclusive design. 👏👏🎉

This is such a timely (free, open access!) book on the politics of and resistance to fossil fuel infrastructures in #Canada. Beautifully written and nuanced take on the entanglements between #Indigenous sovereignty, coalition building, #petro-masculinities and #labour politics. #energysky 🙌

Curtail of migrants rights, marines in LA, Palestine, definition of who is a 'woman', rampant transphobia and anti-trans legislation, occupations, genocides, policing of school & uni curricula transnationally ... Current manifestations of global interlocked and interfeeding systems of oppression.

Workers in the oil & gas sector increasingly face dangerous working conditions brought on by extreme heat. The Biden administration issued a rule mandating that, when temps exceed 80F, employers must provide water & rest breaks. The O&G industry is lobbying Trump to reverse the rule.

Heat is killing oil workers. The industry is trying to kill a rule for that.

Opposition to a planned rule to limit heat deaths comes as oil and gas workers face increasingly dangerous conditions.

Bluesky has caught on with many news influencers, but X remains popular

The share of news influencers in our sample with a Bluesky account roughly doubled in the four months after Election Day 2024, from 21% beforehand to 43% by March.
