An important book, by real scientists, about the biggest challenge we are all facing @scientistsx.bsky.social

Hugely proud of @scientistsx.bsky.social on the launch of their new book #ScientistsOnSurvival Personal Stories of Climate Action. This is a deeply moving and inspiring book that everyone needs to read -every chapter left me in tears or with goosebumps. Read more: www.scientistsforxr.earth/our-book

@mrulibrary.bsky.social This periodical looks as if it might be a good one for MRU Indigenous students. Just a thought.

One of my theories about Trump's lack of awareness is that he is too vain to wear reading glasses. He may read headlines, never detail. It is not his only problem, certainly, but vanity and blindness may lead him to fall into a large pit.

@cityofcalgary.bsky.social Please, Calgary, take note: More public toilets -- they are a sign of civilization.

One of my inordinately strong views is that the lack of public toilets in this country is a disgrace. Not only, as the superbly named Cornelius McAfee explains, is it a public health failure, but it's a missed opportunity to repurpose beautiful, disused buildings & even create some new architecture!

In order to become ICC associate members and take part in World Cup qualifying, we need to fully develop women's and youth cricket, and expand men's national team activities. If you can help our fund raising campaign, even just by sharing the post/link to it (below), it would be much appreciated.
