When weather nerds and hail dislikers find each other. 😍😍😍 @davemason.bsky.social

Sometimes it feels silly to post on BSky about things like shattered bus windows because all I seem to follow here are people posting about the (realistic) end of the world. Chaos, lies, corruption, war, cute broken windows, persecution, Russian agents, lies… it feels weirdly dissonant. 😬

What a Monday. Out for a professional learning tour of Tsuut’ina and our bus fully shattered THREE big exterior windows (outer and inner windows) while it was full of people. That’s a lot of pieces of glass that goes flying when you break that many windows. It was a tree branch/tree. 😬😬😬 #yyc

Listening to radio ads right now is like "Canadians are strong. Canadians are tough. Canadians never back down. Canadians deserve the best. That's why at Bob's Lube Garage, we know your tire lube should smell like poutine and Lake Erie fish,"

The very first decoupling from America we should do is not allow Canadian media to be majority owned by Americans anymore, it would change a lot.

"Sir, the whales are banging on camera." "Please tell me it's not--" "It's humpbacks, sir. I didn't name them that."

We've been receiving a lot of requests for us to answer this crucial question, and we are delighted to attempt to provide you with the information you need as to whether you can read braille with your clit.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Your day has been missing something and it’s these daytime tv screens

Highly recommend a read of this book if you haven’t read it and are interested in the drivers of homelessness.

To celebrate my little piece of good news, I bought some cookies from my favourite bakery (they’re literally beside the specialist’s office) and then promptly dropped them in a puddle outside the bakery. One of the bakers ran outside and gave me a new box. Shoutout to the small kindnesses.

In case anyone randomly remembers that this has been a thing I’ve been worried about… Officially Not Cancer! 🎉 getting the all clear is a load off my brain I didn’t even realize I was carrying.

ICYMI: We identified the operator of one of an anonymous Hitler-quoting self-described ‘Aryan' that is followed by Vice President JD Vance. His name is Geoff Martin, and his father is the president of Trinity Western University, a private Christian college in Canada.

Y’all! The prints that @pixelsphotons.bsky.social is selling are beautiful! Perfect paper, perfect tones, I can’t decide where I’m putting them up but they’re going somewhere I can see them everyday. Photography loving friends, if you want some new art, Nick is a must visit. pixelsphotons.com/store

If an employer suggests their employees can side-hustle to make ends meet, we'd recommend you side-hustle all your coworkers together in a room to talk about organizing! 💪

I was today years old when I discovered that YouTube Music with the videos instead of the album art is exactly what my brain needed.

When part of my following list is talking about ECCC (Emerald City Comic Con?) and part is talking about ECCC (Environment and Climate Change Canada) and sometimes it’s hard to parse who is referring to what. 😂

The emotional whiplash I’m feeling seeing the Canadian flag become a symbol of national unity against Trump’s threats after it spent three years as the symbol of the convoy chuds is INTENSE.

Reminder: If you're newer-ish to BlueSky and want to find the accounts that a lot of the people you follow, follow, you can go here: bsky-follow-finder.theo.io. Enter your handle and have it analyze. I particularly like the "sort by proportion," which will get a lot of ppl related to your interests.

The rolling green & gold wheat fields of the Palouse.

The San Juan River cutting through the Raplee monocline - perhaps my favorite geological feature that I've personally seen to date.

When the most incredible partner in the world buys your favourite flowers and chocolate truffles for Valentine’s Day and it’s a total surprise. 😍😍😍 what a king you are, @davemason.bsky.social.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Do you know how angry a Canadian has to be to say "snowball's chance in hell" out loud

When @davemason.bsky.social and I upgraded our mattress, we also bought a new mattress protector made of organic cotton and GOTS certified, traceable British wool. It might be the best addition to my sleep world that we’ve ever purchased. If you’re in the market, Woolroom makes a great product!

Update: I read it and I’m not sure I can look at Dom 3 the same way ever again. 🙈😂

Hey BSky friends! She hasn’t posted it here (but did say to share this with our networks) - Canadian Geographic is looking to work with an Indigenous editor for what sounds like an amazing project. More info in the image below. Tagging @xelaepop.bsky.social here too.

We might have FINALLY met our match… #WorldBollardAssociation

I’m not “abandoning my diet”; I’m “supporting my country.”

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊
