A native fish species is eating some of the most damaging invasive species in the Great Lakes…AND making a significant impact! Freshwater Drum: The overlooked native fish that has been crushing trillions of Zebra & Quagga Mussels in Lake Erie www.canr.msu.edu/news/freshwa...

i love when a press release headline sounds like it was written by an aggrieved fish

Happy Shark Awareness Day! If I had to distill my outreach goals into one post, it’d be for you to learn that: Sharks are awesome! Sharks aren’t a threat to you. Sharks are ecologically important! Sharks are threatened and need your help! We know how to help sharks! Follow for more.

good gravy just look at this vanta black chungus

Welcome Bijaya and Tyler, our newest Caribou Program biologists! One is a threat on the cricket pitch, the other is an even more literal threat if you are rash enough to challenge him to medieval combat. Both explain the research they'll be working on here: friresearch.ca/news/meet-bi...

AGAIN, you never know what you’ll encounter on Calgary’s pathways! #yycbike

Somehow I'm not surprised that this dingus funnelled millions from a First Nation to himself and I guess he figured a separate Alberta would give him safety from Canadian federal court? Was that his genius plan?

Look at this splendid little bit of ivory worked with so fine a brush that it has come to marvellous life.

This got me thinking about the push to daylight Confederation Creek and whatever happened with Highland Park and that led me to the very first @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social ! A really good one on NIMBYism and, uh, kids riding their bikes through storm water tunnels back in the day. #YYC

Human art is irreplaceable. My Daughter, a recently graduated AUArts professional Designer and Illustrator, did the Spring Poster for the Calgary Farmers Market this year. Check out her work Here: lindsaycullen.myportfolio.com/work Buy Art here: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Fore...

You can tell an infrastructure project is desperately needed by a private industry when the government has to pay for it and also pay that private industry to use it.

This is the single item I found in the bathroom left behind by my parents after their last visit, and I have two questions about this Extremely Dad item: 1) did they make a single batch in 1962 that they just continue to sell? 2) what is country club size?

Hi local businesses! Unfortunately your AI generated posters are terrible and worse than no posters

other best thing:

As many of us in North America struggle with a heat wave, consider these insane views from one of the court philosophers of the AI bros. From @adambecker.bsky.social's excellent "More Everything Forever"

How I dislike the lazy use of liminal, the idea of edge as the only interesting place. For the ghost is at the centre, it's in the suburbs. Its territory is where we live, work and travel. If you want to find a ghost, forget moor edge and lonely lane, try a train station. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Oh nooo here they cooooome!

"Diarrhea so bad you have a heart attack and die on the toilet, falling forward and becoming a brief diarrhea fountain" is exactly how they all should go

I am studying this move as a way to get out of boring conversations.

Just one of ~8 open coal trains more than 200 cars/2 km long per day rushing (open!) down the Fraser Canyon at Lytton, threading between the raging wildfires to get to port. Don’t worry tho it’ll get burned “overseas” so it won’t affect us.

omfgorgeous

We have downlisted the numbat to Near Threatened. A good news story. Great work Perth Zoo and DBCA. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

It's cute!

Made myself a li’l Cuddle Kabe! She's big and huggable and - surprise! — she's also a purse! (Crossbody or backpack) And she can even put a little spending money in her teeny tiny pockets.

I made some stickers because I have that power and so you can also have a nautilus friend jencmars.bigcartel.com/product/cham...

When the Smithsonian created their Open Access program, this is exactly how they envisioned it being used.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Dear humanity, please stop with the balloons. @nautiluslive.org ROVLittle Hercules is nearly 6000m deep on abyssal plain seafloor far from land. The 3rd item they zoomed on was this balloon 😩😢 nautiluslive.org #NoBalloons

Put a rough grind on this guy before heat treating it. The little curl at the bottom reminds me of some plants in the garden so I'm gonna call this one Sweet Pea

Indigenous people make up 5% of the population but 75% of the people living on the street in Winnipeg. Poverty is the byproduct of colonial systems of oppression and genocide but is treated like a personal failure when many are born into it

I am rage. Two wildfires out of control south of Lytton (where I am, and work), belching toxic smoke all over the interior, with nothing but ceaseless winds and drought in the forecast, and Carney/Canada are like MAYBE ANOTHER PIPELINE WILL HELP. Necroprofiteers, the lot of them. #BCWildfire
