Taking a hiatus for the remainder of the year. But before I go, here is an adorable video of our kitten Louis giving some love to his big brother Marvin.

The Russian LGBT Network is being forced to shut down after 20 years of life-saving support to queer people in Russia. Add your name to this petition calling for safe passage and visas for LGBT+ people at risk: allout.lgbt/4h8MlTX

My adoption application has been accepted! These two are officially brothers for life. #cats #AdoptDontShop #family

The so-called "Investment Summit" organized by @mark-carney.bsky.social isn't protecting your future. #canpoli #economy #climate

The Snowbirds offered Kingston a farewell fly-by tonight - these planes are being retired. A good crowd gathered by the lake to cheer as they performed several formations. #ygk #Snowbirds #CanadianClassics

@deannaraybourn.bsky.social I can't believe that you made me wait until page 259 for Veronica's "Excelsior!". I was starting to think that you had forgotten her catch phrase! #GhastlyCatastrophe #VeronicaSpeedwell

Do not underestimate the scale of this climate crisis. We are watching feedback loops accelerate, ice sheet collapse, ocean heat content, methane release, that could lock in irreversible warming. We have all witnessed the data, and it is not slowing down.

Be part of #GlobalBirdRescue, September 21-27, 2026. Join bird conservation groups and community members around the world to rescue and document birds affected by window collisions to help make our communities safer for birds. Learn more at globalbirdrescue.org.

The government isn't even trying to advance renewables. Disgraceful. #canpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social @markgerretsen.bsky.social #NoPipelinesOnaBurningPlanet

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

"These really contentious plans will give free rein to large polluters, put nature and species at risk, limit public participation and keep Canadians in the dark about the impacts to their health and safety. It's a huge abdication of responsibility from the feds."

David Suzuki: “We need to declare an emergency that changes everything” “We’re on a path to extinction. When there’s an emergency, like a war, economics are set aside. That’s how we need to treat this: by using every technique available to win this war.”

A Ukrainian court ruled a soldier's partner isn't family, so he can't claim his body if he's killed. This autumn, Parliament could strip recognition from same-sex couples across the country. Sign to demand they're recognized as family: a.allout.org/s/Oodwl/

Squeeeeeee! 🦋

One month until River Run! Chrissy Isaacs & Clayton Thomas-Müller will be at River Run fighting for mercury justice. Will you march with them? On Sept. 23, thousands will march through Toronto with Grassy Narrows - will you? RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/river... #RiverRun2026 #GrassyNarrows

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

#GrassyNarrows mother and grandmother Chrissy Isaacs is asking us to join her at #RiverRun2026 — will you be there? Show up and make sure Grassy Narrows cannot be ignored Sept. 23 • 12 PM • Grange Park RSVP - actionnetwork.org/events/river...

Everyday people pay the price of Big Oil’s greed. Politicians must make polluters pay up, cut public funding for fossil fuels, and boost the transition to a renewable energy future. Tell federal leaders to prioritize our future over Big Oil's profits in Budget 2026. nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

"If the world, however, dramatically reduces greenhouse gases and achieves net-zero around 2075, Canada's climate is projected to stabilize and average warming would increase by 3.5 C." Why are we still wandering lackadaisically toward a fifty year threshold -- and now aiming for 3.5?!?!?! 🤬

@mark-carney.bsky.social @markgerretsen.bsky.social 2050 is too late. Drop fossil fuel expansion. Make an effort already. We found money for COVID. We found money for World War 2. Mobilize in the same way for the climate crisis!

One year ago, Betty Lachgar was sentenced to 30 months in prison for peaceful expression. She's still behind bars and urgently needs surgery that could prevent the amputation of her arm. Help keep up the pressure for her release: a.allout.org/s/Wq8bV/

Just received the repertoire for the fall term of my choir (Open Voices in #ygk) and I can't wait to start singing! Our theme is Friendship. We sing a lot of contemporary, popular music. Any guesses about our set list? #music #choirs #whatsongswouldyouchoose 🎶

Portage students protested unfair work permit denials. Then immigration enforcement came to their protest and issued 10 removal orders! Migrants have the right to protest without fear. I sent a letter demanding action. Send yours: migrantrights.ca/RightToProte... #DefendRightToProtest

I'll be making the trip to Ottawa to march. Come join us! #fossilfuels #stoptheburning #defendourclimate

Gaining a majority in mid-2026, the Carney government was free to pursue economic growth to achieve greater independence from US-Canada ties. Yet this single-minded agenda misses much of what Canadians expect and need from their federal government.

David was interrogated about being bisexual and forced out of Australia's military. Decades later, veterans harmed by these policies are still waiting for an apology and fair redress. Add your name to help them. a.allout.org/s/WKZEV/

Aaaaaaand I have submitted an application to adopt Louis. 🐈 #fosterfail #adoptdontshop #3catfamily

Let’s keep raising our voices for peace and accountability and show the world that leaders must listen. We will not rest until Netanyahu and his government are held to account. Add your name now -- justice awaits Netanyahu in The Hague.

Before Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)

Academic freedom is aligned with freedom to read. Public libraries defend the inclusion of books with diverse perspectives - and those some find offensive - in their collections, along with your right to read them. Both encourage critical thinking. Both are essential to a healthy democracy.

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it)

Louis was so excited to join the "big" cats in the garden. He adapted very quickly to the harness. 🐈#cats #wemissedCaturday #catunday

LGBT+ riders face systemic violence on Uber – from Bogotá to NYC. No one should fear an attack or abandonment because of who they are. We demand mandatory safety training and real accountability. Safety is a right! a.allout.org/s/vG7eA/

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??
