I’m currently looking for recommendations for CanCon editors or freelance editors who have experience working with apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction. If you know someone who specializes in this genre (developmental, line, or copy editing), I’d really appreciate any referrals. #BookSky

The federal immigration enforcement presence in Minnesota significantly outnumbers the local Minneapolis police force — by roughly 3 to 5 times according to current reporting. #Minneapolis

What post apocalyptic literary trope are you done with in 2025? What realistic scene or portrayal would you want to read in 2026? #Booksky

Montrealers already on the street protesting the closing of bike paths by the new administration.

Yelling slogans like : "Bike Paths all year" and "More bikes - less cars" #Bikesky #Montreal

I hope everyone was able to somehow find some level of peace this weekend.

This is your reminder to find some what to self care.

You have to put your mask on first.

In 20 minutes I officially start my masters by taking my first course.

It's my first step towards becoming a master of disaster. 🔥🌪️🌩️

You can expect some disaster and emergency management content for the next 2 years to come, sorry not sorry.

12 years working at a Charity: never asked people for money.

Today: my friend Carl, cabinet maker, musician, bike mechanic, and heart of his community has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Carl has spent years lifting up others through community bike shops and radical kindness. #Bikesky

Hoggett and Randall outline an activist's journey as follows:

Epiphany – realizing the gravity of the issue.

Immersion – deeply engaging with activism and the cause.

Crisis – facing burnout, feeling overwhelmed or disillusioned.

Resolution – achieving balance and sustainable engagement.

Without nature, we are nothing. Nature is our life-support system, and yet humanity seems hellbent on destruction. With our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. - António Guterres

The psychological wellbeing of humans and the ecological health of the planet are dependent on an intimate human-nature relationship.

The more disconnected we become from nature, the more our psychological health suffers and the more planetary destruction ensues.

Since 2020, the richest 1% hoarded 2/3 of all new wealth — that’s $26 trillion. The other 99% of humanity shared the remaining $11 trillion. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

This level of inequality isn’t just unfair: it’s destabilizing economies, corrupting politics, and eroding democracy.
