My 5x-great grandparents were David and Kessiah Sheppard, Black slaves owned by Sir Edmund Fanning, Lt-Gov of NS and PEI. I wrote about them and about slavery legislation in Atlantic Canada in The Weldon Times @SchulichLaw. Check it out here: bit.ly/3jcN8mJ
We need to stop with the “a temperature record was broken in _______ yesterday” as if these are standalone, random events.
These records make the news b/c they’re noteworthy, b/c it’s hot. But why is it hot?
1) A good reminder of how much community matters for climate change adaptation; 2) A neat study in and of itself
Check out our new @NatureClimate paper on “Social determinants of adaptive and transformative responses to climate change”

I was lucky to work with @ecelaw this summer, focusing on coastal protection in NS. Our coasts are complex and important, and so I'm looking forward to the Coastal Protection Act regulations. It was great to work with @EcologyAction, too! Thanks to @SchulichLaw for the support.

Read this piece about the connections between a painting, sexual exploitation, and slavery in Canada
Portrait of slavery in Canada (Morning File) halifaxexaminer.ca/featured/… by @Suzanne_Rent
Imagine the good we could do if we weren’t so hyper-focused on work/productivity more often? (A thread ft @sandela)
.@sandela said something on her podcast that stuck with me, on how all this energy and all these protests are possible because so many folks are at home right now, and the ways capitalism/our jobs act as barriers to people organizing/finding their way to each other.

Read this if you're worried about climate change.
"Police violence is an aspect of a broader pattern of structural violence, which the climate crisis is a manifestation of. Healing structural violence is actually in the best interest of all human beings." -Sam Grant @MN_350
I had a lot of questions about how the climate movement can be anti-racist. So I asked three leading thinkers and doers. This is what they said.

Science Outside the Lab--North was an incredibly helpful experience for me as I refocused from #fieldwork to #policy. Highly, highly recommend! @FluxLabX @drisk_eh @drtightline @SKlaps @arolytics @scienceatlantic @StFXClimEnv sotlnorth.ca/
Wish I could have made it! Highly recommend the #SOTLnorth program to anyone interested in science policy
