A tribute to Pat Carney, the person timescolonist.com/opinion/a-trib… via @timescolonist Not that I agreed with her politics, but she did work hard to save Canada's lighthouses. Trevor Lautens has given her a great write-up.

This article contains the first image (that I have seen), copied below, of apparent surface rupture during the M7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake. It appears to show about 3 meters of left lateral displacement. The report is from Prof. Dr. Hasan Sözbilir. veryansintv.com/prof-dr-sozbil…

@yukonberingia Is it a sloth?

After a week of sub -30 temperatures, we're dreaming of this past summer. This year there were a lot of really neat archaeological and palaeontological finds around the territory, including this skull. Do you recognize what animal this skull belongs to? #FossilFriday #FieldFriday

@DalorisG Glad it was just a bump! Congratulations on your retirement. I know you won't have any problem finding lots to do.

16 years of incident-free commuting on Hwys 11 and 400 to #Barrie, Vaughan, and Mississauga…I’m retiring at the end of the year. Yesterday was my LAST day in the office, LAST time on that Dunlop ramp, LAST commute home … bumped in the backend near Bayfield. The gods laugh …

@globeandmail This is sad news. In 2019, Lilia Zaharieva co-authored an article, "Understanding and Responding to Pain and Pain-based Behaviour with Youth In and From Care". Well worth a read: doi.org/10.18357/ijcyf…

@DalorisG Looks beautiful, Daloris! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family.

Our Thanksgiving table is set - family and food arrive soon! Celebrating and counting my blessings in #ParrySound #Muskoka #Thankful

@EdithLK A hot bed of coals and home bread = best toast ever!

@SChandraHerbert I hope the new buildings going up on Shelbourne in Saanich will have enough room in front for a sidewalk shaded by large trees. It's much pleasanter to walk on a street that has big shade trees, as so many of our streets do.

I’m really thankful for trees on a hot day like today. I’m also thankful for people who push for policies that help retain trees and grow our urban (and rural) forest canopy.

@Laelaps In 1944, in the midst of WWII, George Orwell wrote a column in which he celebrated the beauty of roses. How could he think it appropriate to celebrate beauty at such at time? Like you, he felt it important to rejoice when possible! (Orwell's Roses by Rebecca Solnit, p. 92)

@CurrieMuseum Do we really know each other well enough to "bare" together?!? Hope the upgrade goes smoothly.

@cbc_archives @andrewfri @secretlifeofCAD @cbcpodcasts @FalenJohnson @leahsimonebowen @AndreaEidinger Yes, even when it is made in a 9 x 13!

New Episode 'Puffed Wheat Squares' Why is this dessert bar beloved in the west but virtually unknown to the rest of the country? The history behind one Canadian recipe & why cereal was thought to prevent sexual arousal. (yeah, you read that right) 👂🏾hyperurl.co/secretlifeofca…

@CurrieMuseum I enjoyed today's bloodless battle, especially the descriptions of how the dinosaurs move through the environment and confront each other. I noticed that when I clicked the "Back" button, I was taken to last year's match-ups. Looking forward to the next one!

🔥 Welcome to our third battle of Archosaur April Absurdity!!! Today’s contenders are from the Small Herbivores bracket: Struthiomimus and Hypsilophodon. Who will emerge victorious? #2022AAA 🔥 Read the full match and find out ... dinomuseum.ca/events/archosa…

@JenLucPiquant That's one reason why the book is usually more satisfying than the movie!

@aliciakennedy In the early '70s, I was lucky enough to find Caroline Ackerman's The No Fad, Good Food $5 a Week Cookbook: Cooking with Natural Basic Foods. Lots of information about nutrition and what staples to stock, as well as good bean recipes, and Barry's Killer Lasagna!

@sarahpvictoria Greater Victoria Citizens’ Counselling Centre @GVCCC has helped a lot of people over the years!

Give where you live 😊 I’m a fan of many #yyj orgs including @THSVic @1UpParents @aceh_society @OutreachSolid What are yours? #victoria

@Laelaps Where I grew up in Northwestern Ontario, "guys" was all-inclusive (which agrees with Oxford, btw). At the women's church group, you'd hear "C'mon, you guys" (or "youse guys" from the Maritimers). My brothers and I were "you guys" because Mom objected to "you kids" (baby goats!).

@SweetLadySwan @Peorhum @JeffreyLuscombe And for 25 cents you could get a book to paste them in! We collected dinosaurs, tropical birds, African animals, and North American butterflies, birds, animals, and wildflowers. I learned a lot from them.

@Peorhum @JeffreyLuscombe Yes, I remember my mum had a set of bird pictures.

Speaking of tea, who remembers when Red Rose was giving away these figurines in each box back in the day, Canada? First was the animals and then the fairy tales.
