Dear @TimHoustonNS,

Before you go getting any #stupid #ideas, "parental rights" is a far right #dogwhistle used to attack & out #trans youth and we won't be having ANY of that here in #NovaScotia.

Sincerely,

Me

#TransRightsAreHumanRights

Well. Rising #oceans and worsening #storm surges are eroding the small piece of #land that keeps #NovaScotia from becoming an #island. #Provincial #governments are arguing with the #Fed on who should pay for it. I bet we're an island before they do anything. #ClimateCrisis

#Alberta. #BritishColumbia. #NovaScotia. #NorthWestTerritories.

Not a good year for #wildfire in #Canada. Outside of the destruction, devastation & displacement, we can look forward to a hotter year on the horizon & crop failure. It's a lot of c02.

Landed safe in #NovaScotia

Time to give myself some space to decompress and recharge, then start working on figuring out my needs and building some support systems, one step at a time.

Before we left, I bought a weekly planner that I plan to leave open on my desk, to serve as a reminder of what I wanted to accomplish.

Giving low-tech a try. It's an experiment. We'll see how it goes!

On the last leg of our journey to #NovaScotia

The lens of having #AuDHD has changed my experience of travelling, and given me the opportunity to really appreciate why and how much I love the RV life.

I can create routines and design my environment to support my autistic traits because my home comes with me where ever I go.

But I'm also satisfying my ADHD need for novelty and discovery.

It really does feel like the perfect lifestyle for me.

Can anyone at CBC mention fossil fuels in connection to climate change when reporting on the flooding in Lower Sackville? Anyone? Mayor of the HRM, wanna chip in something about fossil fuels when asked what the federal government could help? No?

We're gonna keep this up, eh? Let children get swept away by flooding, hundreds and thousands evacuating or without power from coast to coast to coast, and we won't - in a whole morning of coverage - talk about the VERY CLEAR connection between fossil fuels and climate change, and Canada's continuing role in producing fossil fuels, including the billions of tax dollars going toward the fossil fuel companies?

We have to wait until climate change hits these peoples' literal backyards (plural, because how many of them have back-up homes to move to, lol) and even then they won't name the problem. Can't? Won't. Either way.

“History was made on Sunday as hundreds lined up on the streets of Bridgewater to celebrate the first Pride Parade ever held in Nova Scotia’s South Shore.”

Had a blast at #LunenburgPride! Great turnout and a laidback South Shore vibe. #NovaScotia #Lunenburg #SouthShore #pride2023

I think we all prayed a little too hard for rain here in Mi’kma’ki. It’s been raining for weeks and it looks like it will be raining for the foreseeable future. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful that the forest fire threat is gone, but my garden is swimming now and things are growing real slow. #ClimateChaos #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #Mairitmes #NovaScotia #NSag #CDNag

Sad to hear of the loss of such an incredible scholar and teacher. We Were Not The Savages is an essential reading to understand the true history of so-called Nova Scotia and Canada.

"During my time on Mother Earth I sincerely hope that I've made a difference for Indigenous peoples all over Turtle Island by revealing and proving the horrors that our ancestors suffered since Columbus got lost and landed in the Americas in 1492,"

Today in Labor History June 11, 1925: Drunken company cops attacked mine workers striking against the British Empire Steel Corporation (BESCO) in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They rode in on horseback, beating anyone in their way. Then they rode through the school yards, knocking down innocent children, cracking jokes that the miners were at home hiding under their beds. The cops killed 1 coal miner and injured many others, causing a riot in which strikers looted and burned the company stores and drove the police out of town. The government then deployed 2,000 soldiers to suppress the strike, the largest peacetime deployment of the Canadian Army for an internal conflict since the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. Members of the union vowed never to work again on June 11, in honor of Bill Davis, the miner who was killed. Davis Day is now celebrated each year in Cape Breton. Since then, Davis Day has become more of a workers’ memorial day, remembering all those who died in Nova Scotia’s mines, like the 75 men killed in the Springhill mine collapse of 1958, and the 26 non-union miners killed in the Westray explosion of 1992.

@kevinrns @news I'm writing this from outside Canada & USA... #downunder... so i only know about these shocking-yet-unsurprising #ClimateCrisis fires from media, not local personal experience.

Within the past few months, somewhere, i read an interesting article profiling two families from #BritishColumbia, who, sick of all the fires & constant smoke, with worsening forecasts, decided to uproot themselves & move cross-country to a safer place... #NovaScotia. I distinctly recall asking myself cynically at the time; "is that truly going to *remain* a safe sanctuary, given... #science?". And now, look! 😱

"Nova Scotia: fears extreme heat and strong winds could worsen wildfires - Officials in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia say a day of blistering heat, strong winds and low humidity could lead to “extreme fire behaviour” as they work to control wildfires that have forced more than 20,000 people from their homes.

Fire crews said on Thursday they were concerned about a phenomenon known as “crossover”, which occurs when temperature rises above 30C, humidity drops below 30% and winds exceed 30km/h."
