Vandalf!

New Zealand's warming signs maintain a sense of whimsy.

A stilt.

Stick insect from the southern hemisphere.

I really love salmon berry flowers.

Just a frog I saw today.

Come see the Rewilders, Sunday May 31, 2026 There will be a panel discussion with some of the people featured in the movie (moderated by me!). Tickets are $10 for an afternoon that will leave you hopeful for future healthy, vibrant ecosystems! www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca/ccc-event/th...

I'm so optimistic that I think these high fossil fuel costs will force us to build infrastructure so we can ride bikes safely. I hope this is a speedy transition

Dotty doesn't nap on my lap very often, so it feels right to share some cuddle time with her this morning. #HowToCrochetWithCats

It's a hard day in BC today. We're learning more about the horrors that occurred in Tumbler Ridge yesterday. There's a global outpouring of support, and I'm sure that helps. If you need something more tangible to do to help, you can donate blood and give your loved ones a hug today. www.blood.ca

The Narwhal love bird quiz has me as a bald eagle. I guess because I sing so prettily.

On Saturday, February 28th, 2026, I'm going to do the 5 km walk to raise money for the Ann Davis Transition Society. I'm part of a team, the Chillywalkers. We'd love it if you could spare some money for us! If you donate $20 or more, you'll get a tax receipt. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/T...

Want to get the data out of a PDF figure? As in, the actual data – not a rough trace-along-the-lines version? I made an app you might like: adamkucharski.github.io/pdf2plot/ It all started a few years ago... 🧵

So, if I wanted to migrate my company's email from gmail to a Canadian service, which is best? Do any of the Canadian services, like Typewire, offer alternatives to apps like Google Drive?

Beans wants to look at the birds featured in my new glamour chickens calendat.

The Wrightwood community in San Bernardino County was hit by severe thunderstorms that triggered mudslides, rockslides and debris flows, leaving homes and cars buried in the muck. Read more: https://cnn.it/495nRXz

@drewbrayshaw.bsky.social and I spend more time discussing which Murderbot character best represents us than we'd like to admit. I'm Dr. Mensah. He's ART.

When the kids get older, and we get older, the holidays change, especially when a kitten moves in. #MerryChristmas2025

High water at Sqwa:la. #climatechange

I'm watching the propane tank across the street from the El Nopal Restaurant. at 9:45 am, it was above the water. By 10:09 am, it is floating and starting to move in the floodwaters. I really hope the people are safe and evacuated in time. wsdot.com/travel/real-...

Commuters and travellers should also realize this also means that there is a modest chance that Highway 1 is closed tomorrow between Abbotsford and Chilliwack. So plan accordingly and monitor what is happening.

Because of a risk of flooding, avoid travel in the Fraser Valley unless necessary until the atmospheric river passes and water levels subside. Highway 1 and other provincial roadways could close with little or no notice. Follow DriveBC.ca for the latest info. #BCFlood

Dotty asked me to remind everyone that it's the CBC's annual fundraiser for foodbanks BC. While she would prefer that we undergo the systemic change needed to ensure everyone's basic needs are met, she recognizes our capacity to care for one another until that shift happens. cbc.ca/kindbc

Oh Dotty.

Rainbow Range internet.

Fun fact, Drew is the global number one observer of watermelon snow, according to iNaturalist. I learned that on today's hike.

What is up with the world today? Bombs, plane crashes, riots, war, deportations. I hate this so much.

I visit where I grew up a couple times a year. This year, we found the first tiny crop of burn morels. We'll be back in the fall to look for porcinis.

Went to the Kettle River for Easter. Will go back when it's warmer!

A new to me black jelly fungus in the forest on the west side of Harrison Lake. So pretty, just growing there for me to enjoy. #FungiFriends

If you love getting around without a car, follow @carfreechilliwack.bsky.social It's a recently formed group of people (me included!) that just wants to have options for moving about our city.

In Nov 2020 a landslide into a glacial lake in BC triggered a tsunami & glacial lake outburst flood & eventually a large turbidity current in the sea. In this @jgrearthsurface.bsky.social paper, we look at the sea surface turbidity that resulted. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... 🧪⚒️

Mark Carney might be our next Prime Minister. I hope so!

I played outside on the first day that truly feels like spring and saw things growing at East Sector. #FungiFriends

I spent a few hours doing citizen science with the Waterwealth crew. #FunOutsideWithGoodPeople

Bean says stop petting me, I'm trying to sleep.

The Trump administration has paused the renegotiation of the Columbia River Treaty. Some fear the US president could use that as leverage to get Canada’s water - which last year he described as a large “faucet” that can be turned on and off. #bcpoli youtu.be/5HWbamN5wBI

Little Bean wishes everyone equality and equity on this International Women's Day. ♀️

I got to spend an hour teaching a class of Environmental Science and Chemistry students how to describe soil colour and hand texture soil samples. It's really fun to spend a bit of time with young students teaching them about things I'm passionate about.

Hot dogs and cheezies are Canadian. #SummerMealPlans.

The CBC was playing the US State of the Union address and had to stop it because the harm from the words he said was too much. It's terrifying. Please, Americans, do something to stop this person. #ImReallyScaredOfTheFutureNow
