The only good thing about forest fire smoke is it makes splendid sunsets.

Thank goodness CBC has people on Bluesky to help amplify CBC’s story that they would like help amplifying Indigenous climate stories.

Loon…🧵

Just a loon saying “good morning”.

Recalling in doodles, stained glass panel works-in-progress, still fragile, smeared with flux, and spattered with solder, lifted at last. Then comes the revelation: light streaming through glass, colours alive and dancing. A moment that always took my breath away.

Peachy evening

They’re everywhere! Wild raspberry season’s triumphant return.

The time of day for reflection.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

My Goth tomatoes are doing well and they have delightfully creepy flowers.

This is fantastic. Our small but mighty #LocalNews streaming media outlet, after years of persistence, has finally been granted an FM radio licence. Congrats to @cabinradio.ca’s team!!

Finally looks like it might be a cranberry aka lingonberry aka partridge berry picking year!!

More welcome rain. Happier flowers.

I'm concerned about the developing situation at the Ekati Diamond Mine, especially hearing about layoffs. I'm trying to get answers and I'll let you know what I learn, but I think calm is the best thing to keep right now while we wait for official news. #nwtpoli

Another gorgeous sunset on the Trail.

With demand for doctors exceeding supply, the market has changed and the #NWT has fallen behind. Local staff cannot fill gaps in the #ER schedule safely. We need the political will to emergently increase rates. July is looking dire. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Virtual doctors. Good thing we never have internet or cell service outages (sarcasm tone). Thank goodness our HCWs are speaking up.

Well I’m still here but the algorithm seems to keep things fairly parochial-the posts of only a small subset of people I follow will show up in my feed. I check on others, and nothing shows up even though they are still active. Then there’s that darn CBC…

Bluesky is dying?! Really? Repost if you're still actively using Bluesky and not posting on X. www.spectator.co.uk/article/blue...

Sharing a little calmness.

Pair that with wildfire evacuations. Truly a test for emergency responders and public health officials to act nimbly and proactively to keep everyone safe from both risks.

Bye bye ice

The Online News Act (which I’ve called ”easily the biggest policy screw up in recent Canadian history“™) led Meta to ban all Canadian news links on Facebook and Instagram @nicktsergas.ca created this website to help you circumvent Meta’s news ban – move fast, break things, etc 💻🔨 sharethenews.ca

What do we gain when we restore boglands? Biodiversity, drought and fire prevention, cleaner water, long-term carbon storage, and ecosystems that inspire you to redefine beauty. Save bogs, save ourselves.

Congratulations to Minister Rebecca Alty!

Boasty post-we have the BEST local media in Yellowknife! Accolades are well deserved, Cabin [email protected] does a great job for us.

Thanks for putting these on. Today’s (the first I joined) was great.

Moss (and ferns and rock) back at you - not very boggy though.

Single glaze glass sunset in the subarctic. Not very energy efficient but sure gets pretty frost.

Morning ptarmigan in the ptrees.

Second day of Spring. The light’s definitely coming back.

Ummm…just sharing some afternoon shadows, filtered view and a stain glass WiP.

But if the earth actually IS flat, and a cat jostles your arm as you’re finishing?…

Thank you for that observation. I’m trying to get more savvy about not falling for manipulated “news”. Font-check is a new one for my tool kit.

Intriguing points. Hope “we” as Canada, are looking into this. If the premise behind this is reasonable, it opens all sorts of doors. I’m particularly interested in the right-to-repair implications.

Dude from the NWT.

Many years ago a sympathetic HCW listened to my concerns about vaccines for my kid. Her recounting of experiences working in 3rd world countries, seeing preventable diseases, swayed me. He got his jabs (and I’m glad). Your second approach wouldn’t have worked on me (but I get your frustration).

Let’s rewrite that headline to match what’s actually in the article-“New Jobs Fall Short of Economists’ Predictions, Unemployment Rate Ticks Upward” -Just a suggestion.

Moqueca, with nice northern trout that my honey caught for me.

I’m with you…under their guidelines my first occurrence (and recurrence) wouldn’t have been identified. And I wish they’d get past the notion that women would have an attack of the vapours if faced with a false negative.

The Competition Bureau of Canada is supposed to be enforcing their legislation. False representation is an offence. You can report it in their complaints form competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/contact-c...

Hey @edgeoerin.com, more to add to your Canada and Far North Nordic Starter Pack

Xplore’s majority shareholder is Stonepeak, an American equity firm.

I have the same uke…it’s my “boat uke” (the name “Woody” already belongs to a human in my house). It’s a great uke for taking in the boat whilst others fish. I agree there’s not enough uke content on Bluesky. Here’s my “travel uke”.

Really nice cover

Murray McLaughlin “Out Past the Timberline” for me. #FlagDay #Canada

Day 2 of CRTC’s public hearings on @cabinradio.ca’s FM licence application. Fingers’ crossed for a positive decision.
