Fly! (2025)
Taken from my balcony (it's not fair I know) during the nightly migration of crows from West Vancouver, East, to Burnaby. A fun and daily event to enjoy at sunset.

Since it's snowing in #Edmonton, I would like to make everybody aware of our snow plow tracker. Yes, we name our snow plows, and yes, they're delightful.
(Currently, having a little laugh over "Edward Blizzard Hands" 😅)

Edit: Looks like they've already (mostly) finished up the major roads this morning, but definitely check back over the weekend
's apt and dreamy call to arms:
We could be a disenshittification nation. We could seize the means of computation. We could have a new, good internet that respects our privacy and our wallets. We could make a goddamned fortune doing it.

It turns out that a lot of "impossible" things are really just fights you'd rather not have.

This article really takes a hammer to the BS from conservative think tanks, the UCP and the like who denigrate public education. Well done McGill OSS.
“Because when we stop investing in education, we stop investing in ourselves.”

The False Economy of Education Cuts
Why This Matters (Even If You Don’t Live There) A public education system is the scaffolding of any democracy. It’s where young citizens learn not only arithmetic and grammar, but curiosity, empathy, and the habits of coexistence.Office for Science and Society
Good Morning #Canada
If you haven't been living in a cave this week, you know that the #NorthernLights were putting on a show across Canada. As you know, a solar eruption sends billions of tons of superheated plasma into space and traveling at more than 45 million miles per hour it can reach Earth in less than a day. That plasma, drawn towards the magnetic pole, interacts with our atmosphere, and we get a spectacular light show. The Aurora Borealis, named by Italian astronomer Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, is not unique to Canada, but so much of our land is in the Northern Hemisphere that most Canadians have the opportunity to experience it. This is particularly true in the Northwest Territories, where the Northern Lights are visible for 240 days every year on average. The phenomenon has a special meaning for Indigenous Canadians, some of whom believe it shows them ancestors dancing in the sky.
