@support.bsky.team if you click the video image it says it doesn’t exist, which is incorrect. If you click the title it takes you to the video. I have Vimeo allowed in external media settings. What gives?

We have been having incredible fall weather in Toronto. Went for a walk in Sherwood Park with a friend today. It is a spectacular walk in the fall when the leaves start turning. They have barely started. I left my phone behind but I asked my friend to take this pic.

Jane Goodall understood better than most the impact humans have had on the planet. Having witnessed so much environmental deterioration during her lifetime, she was as much an activist as a scientist.

Jane Goodall Thinks It’s Not Too Late to Save the World
The world, the famed primatologist says, isn’t what it used to be—but there’s still time to save it, if we treat crises like climate change, biodiversity loss, and poverty as one.

🔑🧵The daily question for us is how is my privilege working to continue oppression, how am I benefiting where POC & other disadvantaged groups are not. What action will it take to correct the situation, what do I need to cede in the moment or over time. This is my understanding & imperfect practice.
I don't understand this. Which one? Is it specific? I don't believe I'm doing this, but would love to know.
