A salutary bit of #ecojustice news, even inspiring: "Once it is fully operational [as early as this fall], Vineyard Wind 1 is projected to generate cleaner electricity for more than 400,000 homes and businesses in Massachusetts, produce at least 3,600 jobs, reduce costs for Massachusetts ratepayers by an estimated $1.4 billion over 20 years, and eliminate 1.68 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually." -- Colin Young, Boston Globe, Aug. 2, 2023. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/08/02/business/power-offshore-wind-farms-could-flow-by-fall/

It was the #FirstTime the company met with #residents of the #community on the western shore of #LakeAthabasca since #wastewater #seepage was discovered from #TailingsPonds at Imperial Oil Ltd.'s #KearlLake# oilsands site near #FortMcMurray . Fort Chipewyan is downstream from the tailings ponds.

i’m learning what it means to do and be alive: no masks no bullshit
I’m leaning madness as a politic, a social movement, and a lived experience.
This #book on #madness has changed me.
Writhing Writing: Moving Towards a Mad Poetics
By Phil Smith
i love how learning can happen at anytime in anyplace and with anyone. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I would delight in a conversation about this book. Feel free to reach out.
I’ve attached an image of the table of contents so you can have a preview of its #NotWhatYouExpect goodness.
It's won an award and has great reviews on the publisher's site but that only hints at the content. this book lit my brain up in ways that nothing has before.
