Shocking to read that Tassal has had a major fish-kill at its barramundi farm in the remote Buccaneer Archipelago/Cone Bay region of WA while simultaneously pushing ahead with plans to ramp up production. 
What concerns me deeply is this expansion ambition — from roughly 2 000 tonnes a year to potentially 17 500 tonnes — in a glob­ally significant and delicate marine ecosystem. 
The story doesn’t revisit the wider track‐record of salmon-farm related mortality and ecosystem impacts, yet the parallels are painfully obvious. We should be asking: are we repeating history rather than learning from it?

Wow, the report about the East Palestine train crash last year exposed ONE THIRD of all Americans (plus a sizeable chunk of Canada) to potential health risks due to vinyl chloride exposure.

Norfolk Southern paid ~$600M in a class action lawsuit.. or about $5.45 per American potentially exposed.

By way of #introduction I’m a #videogamedevelopment producer who is passionate about making video game dev inclusive to all. We can all benefit from voices seldom heard.

Also I want to continue learning from #indigenous people.

I graduated with a degree in #astronomy so it’s still an interest I follow as well as #climatechange & #environmentjustice
