“It can be true that Buffy Sainte-Marie is part of the Indigenous community by adoption and not by blood…recognizing Indigenous sovereignty requires us to learn to distinguish between the two.” One of many nuanced insights in Michelle Cyca’s latest. thewalrus.ca/pretendian-inv…

I hear there’s some chatter out there about my book TDTWSS. If you want to include me in your convos, or shoot me a question, I’m here. Be warned that I practice Slow Social Media…

It's a tough time for journalism. But while other outlets buckle, Hakai Magazine continues to publish well researched, carefully crafted, and fact-checked stories with no paywall. Now, to ensure we can continue that work, we're asking for your support: hakaimagazine.com/support?utm_so…

I've had the good fortune to write about rats, wolves, glaciers and more for Hakai Magazine, a free outlet that's as well-edited and full of wonders as any that's out there. If you haven't read them, check 'em out. If you have, they've earned your support. hakaimagazine.com/support/

A historic moment. Great to have Serena Renner Hakai Magazine on the job. hakaimagazine.com/news/in-coasta… via Hakai Magazine

Canadian friends—I invite you to find 16 mins and watch the film Losing Blue, now available for free National Film Board of Canada. It's stunningly beautiful, and yes, heartbreaking. Thx Leanne Allison and David Christensen for leading this project. Grateful to be on board. nfb.ca/film/losing-bl…

Surfacing here just long enough to say how much I enjoyed this conversation with Heath Racela and Willoughby Hills newsletter/pod. heathracela.substack.com/p/129-author-j…

My latest, for Businessweek (paywalled): Ramping down global emissions is achievable in terms of cost. But until the US and other rich countries assume a war footing, we don't stand a chance of meeting critical climate goals. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…

Rolling the credits for this piece...my appreciation first to my sources for continuing to share their time and knowledge with journos. Many thanks also to my editors Laura Bliss, Jeremy Keehn, Jim Aley. And those Rad Mora 3D illustrations—just wow. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…

What a pleasure to win one from your peers, and to share the honour with @Sarah_Gilman for her unforgettable rat paintings. Thanks again to Hakai Magazine for wise counsel and making it all come together.

My latest story, one that taught me how difficult but necessary polarization is to write about. So much appreciation to Hakai Magazine, especially judeisabella and @Sarah_Gilman, who helped me find my way but share no blame for where I ended up. hakaimagazine.com/features/the-o…

I'm taken aback by the support coming in for this story. A good time for further thank yous to Serena Renner for further editorial guidance, factchecker Amy van den Berg, proofer Ruth Wilson, and the Hakai Magazine design/production team. Long live. hakaimagazine.com/features/the-o…

Earlier today, I shared that I've received a lot of support for my recent story on Klamath dam removals. Here's a counterpoint from William E Simpson II - Wild Horse Ethologist in the Siskiyou News. siskiyou.news/2024/11/12/a-r…

Good—make that great—news for a change.
