I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!

If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is

On Earth Day
Remembering that living in balance with nature is a core responsibility.

So many humans have lost the ways, too many more never had the knowledge, understanding & skills💔

Colonialism, greed & disrespect for Indigenous Peoples have subverted traditional practises of balance.

.@ABDanielleSmith insists that referenda are democratic and give “power to the people”.

Ok, if that’s the case, why is she now totally disregarding and overturning the clear referendum result on daylight time?

Whats the point of referenda in Alberta when premier overturns them at a whim.

Happy Earth Day! 🐡🧪

Is Alberta really ‘following the science’ on trans healthcare? As Alberta shields its ban on youth gender-affirming care from legal challenge, new research raises urgent questions about the real-world consequences of restricting access.

#Smith lied to Albertans, playing the scare mongering #MapleMaga #MAGA misinformation about #trans people. Terrifying citizens into believing nonsense about #transgender #healthcare. Prejudice and fear lead to using notwithstanding clause.

A reminder on Earth Day that your electricity provider may offer an option to use renewables via Renewable Energy Certificates.

Mine does (Direct Energy) and I pay a slight premium of $12/month to use 100% renewables (or rather have them buy renewables to feed the grid) but it's worth it to me.

Imagine making AI slop when green herons already flash th peace sign. #birds

Something I learned in the 2nd yr of my ebike commute.

My most direct route is 11km one way. The "scenic" route is 13km. When I can (not icy) I -always- take the longer route.

I even go on 30km rides -just for fun-

I did a vid on one of those & I talk a lot about eBikes & why I got one. #yeg

Two white-tailed does are bathed in the warm light of sunset where they stand in a golden field striped with lines of the stubborn snow that has yet to melt. Bare trees add a lacy dark background to the scene.

I was in love with the light over the farmers' fields yesterday evening and these two white-tailed deer were the cherry on top. It's finally starting to feel like spring. #mammals 🌿
