Driver going wrong way with woman and child in car... Makes me wonder if it's murder suicide - cuz how could 3 people in a vehicle not realise something is wrong? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Excellent words - thanks for sharing them Senator

In 1974, the government of Peter Lougheed declared the first Monday in August to be Heritage Day, an official holiday to celebrate multiculturalism and our heritage roots. #Alberta #ableg #abpoli

How do I say no, fuck no and no fucking way?

We actually caught photos of our garage bumblebees! iNaturalist isn't helping us be sure of which bombus it is, perhaps red-belted (rufocinctus), or great basin (centralis)? @ratliw.bsky.social @loriweidenhammer.ca

Try again with the article and gift link Very much agree with much of this - I want amgood life, not necessarily a long one. I especially agree with the bit about being proactive about your healthspan

We have become exceptionally good at extending lifespan. Now we must focus on extending healthspan

We can’t fix everyone when they’re broken, or heal them when they’re sick, but we can do a lot more to prevent chronic illnesses and painful conditions

Well this provided excellent inspiration for our latest #dinorama. @ratliw.bsky.social

“Fuck your fascist pancakes!” Smith got called out hard at today’s pancake breakfast for putting AI ahead of Albertans and appearing on a separatist podcast. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

We've created native gardens in our yard but won't get rid of the hollyhocks because we love watching the bumblebees on them.

Will Ratliffe@ratliw.bsky.social · 3w ago

I am just calling them all bombus pulvurulentus. We have hit peak hollyhock, and the bumblebees are going wild. Happy to hear actual identifications. @thebeeguy.bsky.social @loriweidenhammer.ca

It has taken a long time to personalise my new* bike, but Betty is looking pretty good. Thanks to calad.ca for the beautiful handlebar bag. *got in the fall to replace stolen bike then spent winter in storage.

@caffinyyc.bsky.social Was that a C17 Globemaster I saw come in tonight about 8pm?

We had great viewing of Killdeer at Rock Creek campground in Grasslands NP last week. Pairs chasing and competing over a puddle (or something, I don't really know what they were doing, it could be mating rituals but seemed late in the year) #birds

Aurora started showing just after sunset at our campsite in Saskatchewan landing park but we dismissed them as just wispy clouds catching the last light... wrong. Was a spectacular show.

Really feeling the Bruce Cockburn lyric "the trouble with normal is it always gets worse" these days.

Hey #Canada did you know that Canadian Sarah Ruggins just made the fastest trip on bicycle from the SW tip of Spain to the N tip of Norway? She knocked 3 days off the previous record! www.instagram.com/reel/DZwHQb1...

These bollards dont seem excessive at all... husband for scale on the path...

@saskajanet.bsky.social are you the one who has posted about bumblebee nests. We suspect one in the corner of our garage and are wondering if we should do anything other than flag the corner as a reminder to not mess with that stuff for now.

Hello #yycbike Does anybody known if it is possible to get onto 178Ave SE from 88St down in Mahogany? I recall there being guardrail/fence between the lanes on 88st, but dont know if there is any barrier to getting from NB 88 to 178th

Well, that's a cute little tail... must be a very interesting bird in that feeder. #birds #notabird

Oh my heart From beginning to ending, this is an absolute lesson in compassion

found a little buddy and brought her to a nice flower shrub, but why are her wings so mangled? :( #invertebrate

Summer session of Good Grief walking is now available for registration. Please check it out and pass it on to folks who might like some company for a while on their grief journey.

Does the female Wood Duck wake up after breeding and go, "whoa, who are you?" Because this is not a pretty boy

Saw these only because I stopped to pick up some garbage by the creek today.

Jeezuz.

Let's talk wait times with CHEST PAIN at the UofA ED. Just this week: posted "average" wait time at UAH was 5hrs... but something has changed and these are no longer even close to reflective of the real wait times. 1/11

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

People freaking out about trees in Calgary really leave me shaking my head. Yes trees are good, but do none of you know that before we urbanised, this was a bald-assed prairie? Look at old air photos, or historic photographs.

1) I want bollards like this 2) I'm going to the gym so I am comfortable jumping down after!

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

Hey Calgary... Looks like the plan to improve EMS response times is to create formal HALLWAY MEDICINE in your newest built hospital! 🧵 No plan to improve ED flow and admissions... just expand its Waiting Areas! 1/6

Something extraordinary – yet predictable – has happened over recent days on Facebook. Fake accounts that usually post anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim content generated using AI to fuel division and hate in UK are now pushing out AI-gen content asking: "Should the UK produce its own fuel again?"

Cool thread of Calgary ... being here all the time let's us forget / stop noticing things. Nice to have someone point out interesting stuff.
