I do too! I still feel like something is missing, over a year after it ended

Swans are ugly ... I know people like them but I do not. Dumpster Dude takes good photos of them though! Gucks (as a friend's young child used to say when they had a word that mean geese and ducks) are my fave.

I think that's Lance Cardinal's new piece at YEG that we see in the beginning of this clip.

This thread is great.

Today I am awarding myself the 🥇because I am not saying the shit I want to say - on here, in emails, and in meetings. I am now going to step away from the keyboard because I don't think I can keep on not saying shit.

If you haven't heard the Canadian bobsledders do an interview in 'hockey player speak', go to FB and watch www.facebook.com/share/r/1AM5...

Everybody's having a weather warning today. All of my saved locations have a warning

Way to go!

Lunch!

On this #TalonTuesday, this immature #baldeagle shows off his nails, near Keephills, Alberta (2021?). #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #canada #nikonphotography

This is interesting because it just impacts all of us, not just athletes. open.substack.com/pub/davideps...

Definitely the lyric that fits the day

The Black-capped Chickadee has remarkable strategies for living in deeply cold weather so a good choice for today's #BirdOfTheDay #WinterSurvivors. Love the gregariousness of these birds. They possess one of the most complex languages in the animal world. #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #canada

Absolutely! There are women who do not want children. I was one of them. I always thought I would have kids (when it was a vague possibility), but when faced with the choice, I knew I had no desire to have a child

Absolutely

I need this advice as well. Anyone know?

That's my favorite hawk picture! It's on my wall where I see it when I'm sitting at my table

Dr Wells and @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social (and others) are doing great work on behalf of Alberta, and all of Canada. Thanks for doing a better job of representing us than some of our elected representatives.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood (birds that dive under water for food). My bird nemesis is the Kingfisher (I hear their alarm call as, "Good luck, haha, photographer!") as I continue to try to get a GOOD dive shot. This one will have to do, for now :) #birds #birdphotography #wildlife

15 (maybe more) for me but I've always described myself as a picky eater. Of those, some of them I would eat if they were the only alternative (beef, chicken) but the rest ... no. Ranch dressing, mayonnaise, olives, cottage cheese, blue cheese, hot dogs 🤮

Tomorrow in #yeg Bike to work and grab a coffee at the listed locations Plus the multi-talented @uptownone.bsky.social posted that she baked goodies for the @coffeeoutside.bsky.social gathering

I think I am going one step further and never visiting the US again. I have friends there and there are places I always wanted to visit as a tourist, but I just don't feel comfortable with what has happened. Maybe things will change ... but ...

I'm a big believer in fewer musicians as backup for Tiny Desk concerts = better; but I know Luke & Melissa. I also have heard this trio. They closed out Interstellar Rodeo Winnipeg first night of the first year. Magic! Sarah McLachlan: Tiny Desk Concert : NPR share.google/lRQFKExVGOsA...

Just listening to a podcast that I know had Peter Attia as a past guest (I didn't listen to that episode because I had the internal ick signal the first time I heard Attia talk). This is the first time that I've heard a host address this issue directly

Randomly started singing a song out loud in my home office and was surprised to hear that I was singing Sloop. John B by The Beach Boys. I haven't heard that song in a long time, so why is it in my brain?🤷‍♀️

I'm not watching the Olympics because I don't watch anything these days, but the sliding events always remind me that my facial scars came from a tobogganing incident. In true 60s fashion, my friend's mom dropped 4 kids off at the 'ski hill' outside of town where we could toboggan on the road.

As someone who entered the workforce in the 1980s in a role that had been 100% dominated by men (in the company I was working for), I can tell you that being in a female package was not advantageous. Amir's whole 🧵calls out all of the ways that 'merit-based' is a lie.

These lyrics keep running through my head ... 🎶I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending I'm not your problem anymore🎶 Although, with apologies to Taylor I sing it as 'but, you're not my problem anymore'

If only gun violence was a halftime show. If only food insecurity and loss of healthcare was a halftime show. If only children being bombed was a halftime show. If only the threat to democracy was a halftime show. Then maybe there would be this much outrage about those things.

Age verification? Osmond Brothers concert at the CNE 'featuring Donny Osmond' (because he was new to the singing group).

👍

More fun Ontario weather. My friend lives in that area and she says that it has been snowing and blizzarding since November. She's not wrong www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Show some courage, would you please?"👏

Otters! Love that Dumpster Dude saw otters on his recent photography trip.

The problem for the Patriots was the ball was inflated.

Because I end up thinking about random things, tonight I rewatched this video of Kipchoge running the first sub 2 hour marathon. His relaxed posture is my reminder to relax when doing cardio. Nasal breathe, shoulders down. Check out this video, "kipchoge" share.google/gP6ERjCRxS1W...

Somehow, a leaf of curly kale ended up in my load of laundry. It came through the washing machine intact. Curly kale is strong stuff! I guess my gut bacteria can break down what the washing machine can't 😀

so much of trump's racism — and miller's and vance's and the entire lot of them — is just jealousy. they are miserable losers who are upset that other people and cultures are having a heck of a lot more fun than them

This is a really good thread about hope. The only way we can create the 'something better' that we want to arise out of the current situation is to focus on hope & on the many small actions that we can all take. Some of you are doing bigger things and I see that. You are appreciated.

Because I don't use Spotify or Apple music, I had to wait till today to see the Opalite music video. Taylor Swift delivered. Every moment is perfect. And everything in that video is 1990s; I can say this because I lived it! The mall date 👍😀 The mall even looks like a '90s mall.

"🤬 stop with the AI BS in QBO"

Taylor pretending to be in the 1990s versus me in the 1990s. I'm wearing the jacket (black and white with pink and lime trim) to my track suit that is just like the one in the video. If you look closely, you can see others in the background wearing them

This is lovely. If you have never listened to William Prince, give this live clip a listen www.instagram.com/reel/DUIyz2D...

Yes! Being a Swiftie is so much fun. Taylor's creativity is boundless. And people like Ally add to it by running bracket battles. If I'm having a bad day, I know that I can have the fun of fretting about choosing one song over another, or one bridge over another, etc. Surprisingly stressful 🫶
