Am I cursed or something? 😀

Elevator works fine but funicular appears to be stuck at 8:55 am this breezy Tuesday morn

Remembering a legend.

Bittersweet but the community will continue, a legacy that will impact our Edmonton community in ways Dr. Markland could never even imagine.

Rest in peace, wishing you a safe journey beyond the stars.

My morning highlight was witnessing two pileated woodpeckers having breakfast as I walked up Alex Taylor Hill.

Watched all the cars zip past, missing this simple joy.

Reaffirmed the importance of being multi modal. You miss a lot when you're in a metal box.

I'm pretty sure that in 2025, when someone passes away unexpectedly, there are a number of predatory, AI-driven, fake obituary websites that post unsanctioned info.

Just an FYI, because I think that's happening today.

Happy #CarFreeDay

It means I can safely stop in the middle of a bridge and enjoy the scenery!

β€˜We are losing our archives. I mean this in the most literal of ways, as rising far right authoritarianism usurps and remakes the institutions that hold cultural memory and history; already filled with holes, they now feel like they could be obliterated into nothingness.’

Oh woe at around 9:05 am the Funicular came down, and then had an existential crisis, doors not opening for anyone.
Cut my losses and went through conference centre

This is on Dreeshen.
Happened at an intersection where the UCP removed speed on green photo radar.

Vector graphic of a person's arm with a bandage that has the text "COVID 19 vaccine $100.00". The text and barcode are scribbled out with a red line in protest. 
Graphic text: Health should not have a price tag.

At the top, there is a screenshot of a news article from CTV news. The headline reads UCP announces price for Covid-19 vaccine. 
Text on image: there is no good rationale to charge people for a vaccination booster that is a universal benefit to the individual and the whole population. A vaccinated person reduces their risk of severe illness, and lowers the risk of infection to others. The procedural hoops to book a shot and the price tag are also huge issues to proper accessibility and ultimately to medical safety.

There is no good reason to put a price tag on a vaccine booster when the rest of the country is not following suit. Albertans are already dealing with increased public health issues as we live in the Measles capital of Canada and people will face forced drug treatment, harming their bodily autonomy.

Did you know, despite this deceptive sticker, the button actually summons the funicular to you!?

Elevator and funicular worked well this fine Aug 25 Monday morning as of 8:50am

Alas, whilst the elevator functioned, at 8:50 am the funicular came down halfway, got shy, fled back to the top. A city worker is on scene assessing the situation.

Me & my fellow cohort, detoured through the conference centre whose inner funicular and escalators were working.

Danielle Smith is a separatist.

I'm only a separatist when it comes to traffic.

I might have to do an essay called β€œThe Straight Washing of Spock,” because people really don’t seem to understand the history of Kirk/Spock or its importance to sci-fi fandom. Roddenberry deliberately refused to define their sexuality, and Joanna Russ even argued that not knowing was the pointβ€”that in a better future, it wouldn’t matter. Making Spock explicitly straight in Strange New Worlds flattens all of that history.

I've heard tales of an alternative route inside the conference centre but alas their funicular BANS bikes

Ended up taking my bike up the escalator like a mad woman because at this point of the morning I was adventured out
