Today’s the day, Alberta. Make good choices. #ForeverCanadian 🇨🇦

This is absolutely disturbing and disgusting. We are living in very dark times.

Stone road mall is beginning to put up Christmas decorations. Before Thanksgiving. Before Halloween. Before Remembrance Day. I am not prepared for this.

What will our world feel like when the Climate collapses? Sci-Fi authors partnered with artists and scientists to imagine. They created the prototypes of our uncertain future #ManufacturedEcosystems is funded by @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca New Frontiers in Research books.lib.uoguelph.ca/manufactured...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Every bit of this 👇

Rogers, today at 10:30: We've detected a problem with your internet. Contact us at your earliest convenience to schedule a technician to repair it. Me, today at 10:43: Hey Rogers, what's up? 40+ minutes later... Rogers: Everything is fine. But call us back if it's not. Sigh.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

Damn.

Dammit. bbc.com/news/article...

LET'S FIX THIS! 40 million Canadians buying $334 billion of American product is roughly $8,300 per Canadian a year. 340 million Americans buying $382 billion of Canadian gear is $1,100 per. We are the best customers America has on this planet, seven times over. Let's change that. #BoycottUSA

Damn.

Canadian grocery stores - you absolutely need to be part of this - and do a much better job helping the consumer. Big. Effin. Labels. “Buy this product instead of this one” signage.

The #ManufacturedEcosystems team agrees with @theguardian.com that the Leaf Sheep is pretty darn amazing. Check out Yulia Shtern's stunning work using upcycled materials and no extra pigment, so we can appreciate just how magical this tiny soul really is. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Sigh. "I have been reading about your research in [Professor’s Research Area], and I believe my technical background and interests may align well with your group's work." #AI #HigherEd

#HigherEd workload is out of control. It is time for a sector-wide teaching formula. Currently, we get the same teaching credit for teaching a course of 20 students as we do for teaching a course of 1800. The workload is not the same, and the distribution of course assignments is not equitable.

#TheTinyJoyProject

Um, HomeSense - I think you might be rushing the season just a little bit.

Happy Canada Day

🧪🧵 🪰 🐜🪲🐞🦗🐛🦋🪳🦟 How many species of insect are there?  A seemingly simple question, but one that has been 'bugging' scientists for years.  Our work out today suggests that there are millions more than we had previously expected.  doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @gdfcf.bsky.social

The tech we need for climate adaptation looks a lot like the technologies we'd need on Mars So #ManufacturedEcosystems teamed up with NASA’s Scientific Computing and Visualization Team to build a VR world to explore them Robo bees? Yep #Biomimetics www.manufacturedecosystems.com/habitat-on-m...
