:boost_request: Hey #Edmonton #YEG, important ask here: Anyone have a spare phone they're willing to part ways with? My friend's phone is refusing to turn on, and they rely on it for basic necessities. Neither of us is able to pay anything for said phone, given our financial situation, and the spare I have laying around is broken (screen shattered, digitizer damaged [screen is basically unusable], random touchscreen activations). It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to work. Any help, if you can offer it, would be vastly appreciated ❤️ #AskFedi #Alberta #Canada

#Alberta #canada Danielle Smith is grasping at straws The Alberta government still doesn't have a specific route or identified proponent for its much-ballyhooed pipeline to the west coast https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/15/opinion/danielle-smith-pipeline-proposal-problems #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

The "Oilsands Region" refers to not just the active surface mines, but a large region across 1/5 of Alberta that overlays #bitumen deposits. Most of it is in fact still native vegetation, but it is highly fragmented by seismic lines and other human footprint. After ten years, Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has finally been able to publish this report https://osr-report-2026.abmi.ca/osr-home?mc_cid=dc38273590&mc_eid=726c727c41 #oilsands #alberta #biodiversity

@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca I haven't always agreed with Jen Gerson, but always like her style and arguments. And wit. "Now I don’t claim to be no criminal genius, but that don’t make no damn sense. If you have compelling evidence of a crime, you don’t not investigate said crime because it’s possible crime wasn’t committed. You, you know, look into it?" And jeez #Alberta

These photos were ready- even alt! about a week ago but I somehow didn't get them posted ( plants + critters season is starting: no chance of keeping up...lol) Aspen Populus tremuloides starting to flower last week- 1 of the first species along with a few willows. The long catkins with yellow pollen clusters showing are fully open/flowering, but I think they look prettier when not as open, so fuzzier, with the closed pollen sacs showing the red outsides #spring #BloomScrolling #Alberta #trees

Let's hope Smith's UCP takes this as a message and drops this new gerrymandering legislation... https://globalnews.ca/news/11812868/supreme-court-rejects-quebec-election-map/ #ableg #yyc #yeg #elections #Alberta

I bought the tool secondhand somewhere in #Edmonton, #Alberta sometime shortly after the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic, as one of many quasi-random #tools and #materials I would end up testing and using to create my own masks that would be safe for me to wear for long periods and provide the best degree of homemade #PPE protection I could manage whilst also avoiding problems with #allergies (such as metal on nose-fittings). 3/x #TrialAndError #testing #experimental #experimentation #safety #health #CovidIsNotOver

An intetesting peculiarity of living in #SocialHousing is that we are explicitly banned from having window-based #AC in our units. While I live in #Alberta, my understanding is that this ban is found throughout social housing #leases in #Canada. Granted, the writing style and language choices strongly suggest such leases were drafted in the early 1970s at the latest, and back then I would have easily agreed that #AirConditioning would not be necessary. However, 50-some years on, the heat is routinely a bajillion (estimated 😛) degrees higher and #disabled folks and others in social housing are BANNED* from installing what is literally life-saving equipment under the 'new normal' of our #FireSeason summers. *TBC: portable AC units are not explicitly banned (not commercially-available yet when the leases were written??? 🤔) but these have limited range and are usually energy-inefficient compared to modern AC window units 6/x #health #safety #medical #medications #disability #poverty

Now, the Hoarding Foundation of Alberta is, imnsho, great. 🙂 Prior to the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic I had gone to their in-person support group and found some very useful strategies for dealing with what I recognised could become a significant problem. Back then, they weren't even a formal organisation yet and I'm pleased that they've come so far to provide much-needed expertise on this disorder. Check them out here! 🙂 https://www.hdfa.ca 13/x #hoarding #materials #objects #accessibility #Alberta #yeg

My frozen options are limited, though. Many contain ingredients I'm outright #allergic to or my body responds poorly to. One line I used to eat frequently was discontinued on #Canada and that narrowed things down even more. And the expense! As mentioned above, the #disability pension disabled people in #Alberta rely on has not been increased since 2016. Not that this pension was ever particularly generous, but I've never felt truly food-insecure since grocery #inflation began ramping up so overtly over the past 5-6 years. My family member observed (correctly) that making food can be much cheaper and i definitely healthier than the options I presently rely on. But they also know the physical challenges I face and the implications, so they assessed the kitchen not just for #access to various parts of it, but also to rearrange for usable #workflow. 21/x #usability #organisation #accessibility

For the last month, I've been working on mapping the town of Strathmore #Alberta in #OpenStreetMap . Happy to announce that, while addresses are still needing to be added, most if not all buildings in the town are now mapped.

How many Calgarians know of the then-nascent Calgary Winter Festival, its ski jump and warm-weather problems that plagued it almost 70 years later at the 1988 Winter Olympics... #yyc #Alberta https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-victoria-park-ski-jump-exhibition
