The biggest conservation win ever for the endangered Palm Cockatoo! On the back of 18 years of my research on this difficult species, People for Wildlife and Indigenous rangers and I were able to make an install an artificial hollow that was immediately used! 💥 capeyorkweekly.com.au/artificial-h...

Dusted off this old graphics--after 20 years on Etsy, I finally reached 2000+ sales! I'm certainly not quitting my day job, but am so happy others find my mini calendar and SVG cutting files useful! #etsyseller #etsycanada #etsyyyc #printables

Somehow I ended up as the recovery contact for the Etsy Alberta Team. The teen email will be deactivated in March due to lack of use over the past two years. I feel like everyone has moved on, but is there anyone out there who needs anything from the email? #etsycanada #etsyyyc #albertaarts

I smashed the delete button on my @hootsuite.com account today. It's really easy to do--but takes some time for it to process. I can't morally support a company, even if it is Canadian, that empowers fascism and hurts people. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/01/21/v... #hootsuite

I keep getting ads for Nostalgia, a "townlet" in South Calgary, and the website copy is so nauseating. It doesn't even acknowledge the land is Treaty 7 territory 🙄🙄🙄 It's part of the Ricardo Ranch lands, where nature lovers rescued native plants from the area in 2024. #savericardoranch

I watched Pride Vs Prejudice last night during the Fairy Tales film festival and it put the past in perspective for me. It's Edmonton history. It's also embarrassing the Ralph Klein government wasted 7 years denying people their human rights 🙄🙄🙄 #yeg #yycevents youtube.com/watch?v=JumY...

There should not be any cases of measles :S
