So that July 16 flood. Was it my fault? I did say something at the Shadowland opening @evergreen_brick_works about wanting to see what the environment would do to these rice paper scrolls. Thanks to @prince.of.nature for documenting this Mud Creek/Don River "collaboration."

So grateful that @milesrufelds came to document the Shadowland at @EvergreenCanada BEFORE Toronto's July 16 flood. The show was all about the power of Toronto's ravines and the ravines obliged: waters rose waist height in the gallery space! Images of the aftermath coming soon.

Who's planning to stay in the city for the long weekend? Read all about #TorontoRavines in @bluedotliving @liannbobechko even let me include some images from my new art show #SHADOWLAND @evergreen_brick_works @contactphoto toronto.bluedotliving.com/2024/05/03/the…

I wrote an article for @johnlorinc @spacingmagazine about #MudCreek and the sinkhole on Moore Avenue and #SHADOWLAND my first solo art show @evergreen_brick_works @contactphoto #TorontoRavines #contactphotographyfestival #evergreenbrickworks spacing.ca/toronto/2024/0…

@timeinch @DiscoverMag I’ve been dreaming about visiting Tristan ever since writing this story. What a great assignment!

One thing about rising food prices is that they put more pressure on companies to reduce waste. Could the current economic environment offer an opportunity to fix a systemic problem?

@shawnmicallef And more cross country skiers and snowshoers than ever before. Think you’ve started and trend.

@JohnLorinc When I was living in Cambridge people would sometimes “reserve” a space with plastic lawn chairs, after digging it out

#topoli The gordian knot of street parking after a blizzard: dig out the car, but dare not drive it for fear of losing the space. Sidebar question: does an empty dug out space belong to the digger or is it fair game?

@timeinch I don’t remember hearing about wind turbines specifically, but there are lots of ideas out there for repurposing. They just need funds!

@audreyjcarleton Thank you!

beautiful nuanced and multifaceted story about coral reefs blooming on abandoned offshore oil rigs and the wrought pull between leaving them be or demanding cleanup to keep operators on the hook: hakaimagazine.com/features/oil-r…

@rachelagiese @globeandmail Such good news! You always did have the nicest looking office.

Same office, new gig. Today I begin my new role ⁦@globeandmail⁩ as Deputy National Editor, health, education and families

Old oil platforms are being “reefed”—left in the ocean to continue providing habitat for the creatures that call it home. Story by @sashachapman: hakaimagazine.com/features/oil-r…

@hmrustad @harperbooks @KnopfCA @HarperCollinsIN Congratulations!

@cestmoiLanglois Thanks!

@sashachapman I'll add you to the list!

Hello! I'm in a fabulous, small Slack group for science journalists. I'd love to join a similar group for people writing book-length essays/memoir. Prefer small group w/ professional/established writers. Does such a thing exist or do I need to start it? If the latter, who's in?

@Jesse_Hirsch Yes, please!

@sashachapman I love Hakai and also: write for us! jesse@thecounter.org

@sashachapman just saw your byline on a great tuna story today!!

Excited to read this round up of stories and pleased to be included on this excellent list.

@Sarah_Gilman @hakaimagazine Let’s do that again some time. You know an editor is skillful when you don’t miss the cuts and the story is much better for them. Writers, take note!

My parents are bee keepers. They sent me this photo from a fellow French bee keeper who didn’t put the frames in his hive. This is the magic the bees created by themselves 🐝 #bees #nature
