Three years in, I'm still extremely proud to work at The Narwhal. Our mandate is in-depth environmental journalism inside the borders of Canada: it's niche, and it's where we live, and I think we do it extremely well. If you believe it's important and are able to contribute, thank you so much.
We’re happy to take on the effort part, but the money? That comes from readers who repeatedly tell us they want these stories told — beautifully. This December, we’re on an ambitious mission to raise $200,000. Will you chip in what you can to help us keep going in 2025? thenarwhal.ca/eoy-2024-bsky

Overwhelmed with the constant news cycle/doomscrolling? Does it make us less effective in tackling that issues we care most about? Sometimes I think that we protest on social media because it makes us feel as if we have “done something”

How I beat overwhelm: I kicked my news addiction – and discovered ways to make a proper difference
When I stopped watching, listening, reading and doomscrolling constantly, I no longer felt I was banging my head against a brick wall

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has publicly criticized lobbyists, calling them "utterly useless." Federal records show he or his staff communicated with oil and gas lobbyists 46 times over the course of a year. @meyer.bsky.social analyzed the numbers.

💯 N95s are wayyy more comfy and breathable than cloth masks and surgicals. You just have to find the best fit for you. Some PPE supply places have sample packs so you can try a few different styles.
I've talked about this with w pals a few times; this is SO true and extremely important. It was well intentioned but having people not used to wearing masks wear cloth ones in 2020 probably didn't help the later mask aversion, whereas real N95s/P2s etc are SO much more comfortable as well as safer.
When I switched from cloth to N95 all my panic issues went away. I think we don't emphasize enough breathability and that cloth masks have very poor breathability and N95s have high breathability. Also they don't collapse against my mouth and nose, huge difference.

This is Colin, one of 3 young crows born last year to a couple who nest near our house. Colin learned to fly in part by jumping off our porch steps. (I can’t tell them apart, so they’re all Colin)

Institutional COVID denial has killed public health as we knew it. Prepare to lose several centuries...
Public health cannot be individualized. Abandoning collective approaches to disease mitigation is a recipe for disaster.

Apologies for jumping in if this isn’t what you’re looking for, but there is a way to do what I think you are seeking, at least on the iOS app. I had it on for a bit but there was actually too much extraneous stuff coming in for my taste. “Show posts from my feeds.”
