Product of the 70’s; Lover of history (esp WW I/II and of YEG, my hometown). Be kind to our planet and humans. I’m just hear to get my news and dose of beauty through arts/books/photography. #TeamScience #TeamDemocracy

Well done @britannica.com 🙌
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️
Another fantastic photo by @edmonton-historia.bsky.social Merry Christmas 🎄

Today is the 35th anniversary of the murder of 14 female students at Polytechnique Montreal. Every December 6th in Canada we remember them and reflect on violence against women. www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...
I have a canvas print of this beauty in my home.
December 3, 1891 • C&E / Strathcona Hotel On this day the Calgary & Edmonton Railway Co. open their new hotel on Whyte Ave. & 103rd Street in Strathcona - then called 'South Edmonton'. It underwent name changes, including 'Hotel Edmonton' (🔍), now known as Strathcona Hotel. See ALT 📷 • ca.1892

Yep, #VaccinesWork & misinformation kills. Cervical cancer deaths in young women plummet after introduction of HPV vaccine, study medicalxpress.com/news/2024-11... BUT "...a decline in HPV vaccination post COVID... a decline in vaccination uptake would potentially lead to smaller gains."
Magnificent homes in YEG, still around today.
1913 • The Highlands Photo of opulent residences nearing completion during the fall of 1913 in The Highlands. This view looking west from 62 Street along today's Ada Boulevard. See ALT. L-R • William T. Ash House ~ 6256 • William J. Magrath Mansion ~ 6240 • Bidwell Holgate House ~ 6210
The only way you recognize it’s YEG is by that bridge.
ca. 1900 • "Winter" A scenic wintry vista of Edmonton's river valley and the newly completed Low Level Bridge - the first bridge constructed over the North Saskatchewan River. Photo taken by Charles W. Mathers near his studio located on Jasper Ave. - site of today's historic Brighton Block.

👏 I’ve always liked her @pancholirakhi.bsky.social well done
Alberta NDP Deputy Leader Rakhi Pancholi says she’s also quitting X “This space has become increasingly unsafe and toxic over the past two years and I am done” Pancholi is here on Bsky: @pancholirakhi.bsky.social I think this is the first Canadian political leader to formally quit Elon’s website
