@zendadddy Ha, they had Goeff McFetridge on the CBC yesterday talking about wildfires. "A Canadian designer's perspective on shit burning down"* *It was not called that at all, and was very heartfelt about people losing their homes

today's wildfire news - absolutely hilarious they labeled me as "Canadian living in California"

Ruth Howard was tasked with helping create a symbol for the Black candidates. Her first idea of a white dove was turned down. She returned and presented a new drawing of a black panther which the county embraced as their new symbol.

Update to see if this thing still is on. Tried Costco baby corns they tasted like chlorine. Absolute trash. Got food supplements from NE Calgary that also has the best damned nigiri in Canada — I’m not even going to tell you where. Top shelf. Adopted a dog.

Call to action for Calgary Board of Education parents and community members! It's time, again, to demand better air quality in CBE schools! Use our new writing tool to send a letter to trustees, admins and govt! #yyc #ableg #covid19ab #abhealth #abed kidsneedcleanair.com

@calgary_k Hello! They just explained this on the CBC — Altocumulus Standing Lenticular. Like a foam pile on a standing wave on a river. So cool.

@calgaryhester @yyCBEdu @SusanVuka @neclose Thank you Sam! I have asked for testing of air quality and transparency (share the results, and why you choose to act or not act). “We have upgraded to MERV 13 filters where possible” is not transparent — where, when, how many, did it help? Tell us what you are actually doing!

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to chat with @yyCBEdu trustee @SusanVuka later this week. This is what I'd like to ask her (and all the #yyc school trustees, actually, if I could - including my friend @neclose!) #abed #CleanAir #IAQ

Nine (9) years later! happy holidays kids and cats and dogs and @camhoff

Calgary parents! Tom Brown (famed miniaturist) and Nikki Martens (educator, awesome human) run a kids nature art program on weeknights in Calgary. Pls check it out. We missed last night ’cause fuckin’ covid. But they are the best. instagram.com/pleinairarts?i… #yyc #yycarts

@NikkiReimer @ryanfitzpublic That’s immediately no from me. Please both of you publish; fuck this bullshit.

@ryanfitzpublic Stuff like this is why I increasingly think I might be done with publishing

@BikeBikeYYC I regret to inform you I have booked an appointment for some filthy work on this beast

Beat the spring rush. Book your end of winter repair services now! #yycbike bikebike.ca/campaigns/view…

@KevinDM @camhoff Yeah our son in grade 2, way fewer masks (teachers aren’t allowed to mention it. Even in the school council meeting a doctor was cut off for mentioning masks. It’s all garbage)

My kids report that "kids being kids" includes nearly all of them wearing masks today.

@eggbeck Rideau is excellent!

A million years ago I did a canoe trip with FW. He's republished an excerpt on Outpost. If you are interested in escaping to summer trips, here it is: outpostmagazine.com/excerpt-lines-…

@adolwyn @KikkiPlanet @JohnSmiley Thank you! Yes, we can’t go near the principal although I see emails are including Council and Parent Association. Hmm. Thank you so much and nice work!

@platform_design @KikkiPlanet @JohnSmiley I’m a teacher at the school the masks are for, and the donation came privately, not approved officially or anything like that. We’re doing it as an “among friends” type of thing rather than doing it through official channels. I’d recommend doing it similarly.

Making N95 care packages for my amazing teacher and school staff colleagues thanks to a super generous donation from the rockstar philanthropist @JohnSmiley. Masks, paper bags for mask rotation, ear savers, etc. ♥️♥️ #abed
