@timbray@cosocial.caThere’s this place we walk by pretty regularly that’s semi-abandoned. The owner replaces parts when they fall off and there are lights at night, but the front and back have been left to return to nature. This chunk of land is worth ~$2.5M Canadian, so an odd situation. Anyhow, I enjoy watching the progress of the informal small-scale rewilding.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
December 15th, 1964, the Canadian House of Commons votes 163 to 78 to approve the red Maple Leaf flag. The vote put an end to years of conflict over the Liberals proposing a new flag, and gave Canada a new symbol for its upcoming 100th birthday celebration. In 1960, Lester B. Pearson, then Leader of the Opposition, declared that he was determined to solve what he called “the flag problem.” To Pearson, this issue was critical to defining Canada as a unified, independent country. As the newly elected Prime Minister in 1963, Pearson promised to resolve the question of a new national flag in time for Canada’s centennial celebrations in 1967. Traditionalists fought for their beloved Union Jack while a younger generation wanted a new modern design to represent Canada. Thousands of designs, some truly ugly, were considered and rejected, including Pearson's preferred flag. I think we did OK in the end.

@PwnieFan@infosec.exchangeDo you ever find a particularly pretty leaf and you carry it with you for a block? Just because you want to appreciate how magical it is that nature can create that shade of red? #bloomscrolling

@emd@cosocial.caMy 2018 Nissan Leaf has had no maintenance needed in 7 years (besides the usual tire rotation, brake check, etc).
Love it so much we bought a 2024 as well. https://mas.to/@carnage4life/115691608937085271

@nerb@techhub.socialSaw a crested caracara on our walk this morning. Thought at first an eagle but the black on the top of the head is wrong. Fairly large bird is stayed in the tree for a bit then flew off. First I have seen one near the coast. Usually I see then towards the center of the state. The other side of Arcadia has quite a few of them.

@StephenRees@mas.toFair Vote Canada is pleased to announce the Teacher Resources section of our website. The first teacher resource has now been added.
A Fair Vote? Rights, Responsibilities, and Decision-Making in a Democracy is an exciting new resource for Grade 5 Social Studies teachers, which was developed by the Elementary Teachers of Toronto and Fair Vote Canada.
@cheryanne@aus.socialThe washing machine is thrumming along in the laundry. First load. I wander out the back door. Outside, it's damp but not raining. A currawong sits on a rock awaiting the morning's largesse. I pour out a small cupful of seed onto the feeder. On my way back, I pause by the sunken bathtub (repurposed as a planter). It is overflowing with luscious mint plants made extra vibrant by the overnight rain. I pick a single leaf and inhale. Its scent is glorious. Another sunday in suburbia.

@BBC6MusicBot@mastodonapp.uk @jby@ecoevo.socialNot all flower visitors are equally helpful to the flower; separately tracking bees that buzz to release pollen and bees that steal pollen from flowers in a bunch of Chamaecrista species shows how tracking visitation alone would misrepresent the interactions

![Do otters blink with both eyes? Anonymous 25/11/11(Tue)22:24 No.4255 [Reply]
Some animals blink with one eye at a time so they always have one eye open. How do otters do it? Have you ever seen an otter blink?
This one in the picture might be blinking or just closing his eyes, it's hard to tell from a photo.](https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/115/846/786/884/116/185/original/4d8c9a0b8758aa60.png)
