It's not just cutting traffic, it’s cleaning the air. A new Cornell study found that in the first six months of NYC's congestion pricing:
💨 Air pollution dropped by 22% in the core Manhattan zone.
🌳 The benefits spread to all five boroughs AND the suburbs!

LEAVE Twitter already, folks. Get the fuck off there.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

On the 1st day of #Fishmas, we present the noble Copper Redhorse (Moxostoma hubbsi), an endangered fish found only in the St Lawrence & Richelieu rivers in southern Quebec. It's known in Quebec as "le chevalier cuivré" ("the copper knight") b/c its large scales are like chain mail. #25DaysofFishmas

One of our family traditions is to fulfill a few senior wishes each Christmas. Our adult children have quietly shared this with their partners and continue the tradition.

Even those Americans who say they underestimate Canada's resolve to move away from the US as a trading partner are underestimating Canada's resolve. It exists from the highest levels of govt and boardrooms to individual citizens. It is deep and widespread. And typically Canadian - without fanfare.
When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.
This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find.

To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
