But that's sad. We like you!

This only happens to you once

Get a hobby. (joke)(in case I had to say that)

It does not escape me that those of us who have been saying it was a genocide, since early days, are also the ones who correctly called what is happening here fascism, since early days.

Things are pretty obvious if you are willing to look.

Can confirm @cjlavigne.com is the kindest human.

It was great fun!

BEST TITLE AT #yegfringe: Tonight I saw Celia Taylor’s play “Cult of the Clitoris” - great fun, great cast, and I learned some #Lgbtq History!

About On Spec / Contact Us In 1989, a small group of Edmonton writers formed The Copper Pig Writers Society in order to fill a niche in Canada–a paying market for English SF. SF with a uniquely Canadian Perspective. Of…

Let’s talk about an Edmonton science fiction institution -- On Spec, Canada’s most prominent English-language science fiction magazine.

We are at this place. Appalling.

If you are part of the #Edmonton community please take and share this survey from #BoyleStreet: di.legeropinion.com/survey/selfs...

In 5 1/2 hours Edmonton Magpie Morris will be dancing the sun up in the Old Strathcona gazebo.

This conversation with the one-and-only @premeemohamed.com is gonna be great!!

This will be grand!

Obvs spending more than 60 years deprogramming and appreciating the role of all the scary crawlies, not just worms, which is why I'm looking with interest at a rethinking of their role. Fascinating convo, thanks!

True! Our yard was ten inches deep in roadcrush when we moved in 20 yrs ago so anything that helped...a horrible ant infestation actually killed a tree but the anthill turned a metre square patch arable and we were able to plant a cherry tree there after the ants were gone so it is all a mystery

Word.

Or at least a protocol for re-evaluting them!

But spent 65 years trying not to hate and freak out phobically at earthworms. Now I need a new opinion of them!

Unsure. Am truly asking due to being gobsmacked at this info! Soil improvement good? Bird food good? Sometimes invasive species find a niche and aren't destructive per se? Is the change in carbon cycling negative? I am not a scientist but I am a gardener of sorts...

But where does this leave earthworms on the good-bad continuum?

Wow. I was today years old...etc. As a kid I was terrified of earthworms due to once being menaced with a 24-inch worm by a bigger kid. Also they come out on the sidewalks after rain & get squished -- icky. But I always thought they were good for soil, and had no idea they weren't original to here.

an orange cat is in a sunbeam with his mouth open yelling a whole conversation

Anyway it’s so weird that all these end stage things are happening but all we still have to do regular chores and get dental care and stuff

Wait, what? Edmonton, and we have earthworms... ???

Which Bay? I need a set of flannelette sheets!
