When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

@watersheds.ca?

I’m working on a project in SK, and I need someone that knows more than I do to validate a thesis and methodology.

Happy to share if anyone would like a quick read, just DM.

@cyanotrans.bsky.social?

Thank you!

Does anyone in my circles happen to know a cyanobacteria specialist in Canada I could visit with?

It fundamentally shapes you as a person growing up knowing you are in a country that values your wellbeing vs. makes you dog fight for it . It’s not because we’re weak or silly or not “hard enough.” It’s because health is wealth.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

Thank you :)

Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart.

We only get to do this to our planet once - front row seats to the greatest fuck-up in the history of our species; brought to us by decades of corporate greed, political corruption & public apathy, & paid for by the futures of children we claim to love.

I live in rural east central AB where it's not creeping anti-vaccine rhetoric, it's galloping. And actively encouraged by the govt's decision to make the covid vax more expensive/harder to get, and apparently requiring signup even for the flu vaccine. A sad and dangerous disavowal of public health.

For Americans in the back: Canadians are a peaceful cool people who would prefer not to worry about you or boycott you or resist you but MAGA and threats to our country force us to. We will stop giving you our money, our tourism and our respect until you stop this fascist regime.

Without trying to be alarmist, I think there's enough evidence to suggest that the United States government does, in fact, want a civil war. 😕 This is a weird thing to watch from Canada; I can't imagine what it must be like to live it.
