Folks, I give you an excellent rock! [Syn-depositional deformation in Ediacaran pyroclastics/flows, Scatarie Island, Nova Scotia.]

No matter where you are, have a Happy Canada Day!!!

Beautiful sky at Inverness just now.

Montreal is one of Canada's most beautiful cities.

The #SummerSolstice will occur today at 4:51 p.m. ET in the Northern Hemisphere! To celebrate the start of astronomical summer, take a look at how the angle of the sun changes from #solstice to #equinox and back again over the course of a year due to the Earth's 23.5° tilt.

I shared these 'Introduction to Degrowth' slides a little while ago, but they needed an update. These slides have a more 'Internationalist' approach to #degrowth than the last set (see slides, 21, 22 & 31), which I believe to be crucial to any successful movement. (1/38)

🚨 New Paper Alert!🚨 I joined a team of researchers looking at what we know about the drivers of food prices in Canada. We found: - The stated drivers of food prices are multiple & complex - leading food price reports typically don't offer very robust support for their claims

The best place to relax is near water. After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass. Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

My last two months of nature photography. An exhilarating stretch of color and spectacle. April and May 2024.

If climate change is going to be six times worse for the economy than we thought, then those who prioritise the economy above all else should be taking it six times more seriously than they are theguardian.com/environment/ar…

The UK's GHG emissions story is a real beacon of hope... Or is it? Depends on what coloured glasses you view them through! 🧵that both Degrowthers and Green Growthers can point to and say they're right😂 /1

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being. New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied. Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

@james_bisson The algorithms know all.

I just bought ant traps, and Instacart responded by showing zero chill
