Sky Blue would be a great choice. An all-time favourite of mine.
Wonderful to connect here. I'll let you know if I ever make it to Australia!
Wonderful groove here. And experimental bits scattered throughout. Another solid song from o\i.
My music video for @itspetergabriel.bsky.social's song "i/o". Features footage taken through the microscope, from @kwantlenu.bsky.social's Amazon Field School, and SḴŦAḴ / Mayne Island.

I love my daughter's Etsy shop so much. Her business of curating, cleaning, reviewing and repackaging good children's books emphasizes diversity, kindness & sustainability. Such a beautiful thing she's doing for the world! She has all her reviews on Goodreads now. 🧡

Thanks for this intriguing book. We are considering using it for our next Book Club at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Do you know when the paperback version is coming out? With thanks.
Great job on the interview. I hope the performance goes well on Sunday.
I'll be presenting for this mini-course, on the topic of learner-centered and community-based ways to teach sustainable development goals.

What a great place to be reinvented.
Amazing project:
“The River Knows What It Needs: Our Responsibilities to the Fraser,” documents a community dialogue about the health and revitalization of the Fraser Watershed, as situated within the laws of the Land since time immemorial.

It really is fantastic. A fellow Gabriel fan, I presume?
