What are *you* doing to stop the genocide? To build a better future for all of us?

I'm a PhD student, in geography, at uToronto. I think about just futures in the context of climate change.

Beautiful #infographic of aerial traffic out of #Beirut and #Damascus, from the 1968 master plan of Damascus, by Michel Écochard.

There are many beautiful things to note, One of my favourite is that the map spreads eastwards as well as westwards. Riyadh is there, but has fewer flights than Karachi.

My first solo academic publication is finally out.

It's a reflection on the difficult 2 months of the #Palestine solidarity student encampment at #uToronto, edited by Esmat elHalaby and Maya Wind.

It’s fresh snow season, which means that we can see bicycle tracks and bike lane usage in # Toronto again. A very well-used bike lane, even in snowy weather!

How absurd is it that I live in downtown #Toronto, but it’s easier for me to go to # kitchener to buy Middle Eastern groceries, carry 3 heavy bags on the bus then train, than to go to the nearest Middle Eastern store, which happens to be in Scarborough? This is what bad planning policy looks like.
