#HappyThanksgiving2025 🍁🦇
Give thanks to bats! Alberta’s bats munch millions of insects, saving farmers & foresters on pest control—and helping our health by reducing pesticide use. Overlooked & underappreciated, these tiny insectivores quietly make life better for us all. #ThankABat
#HappyThanksgiving2025 
We would like to take today to thank the bats for all the work they do around the planet. Our bats in Alberta are big insect-consumers - a non-paying job that benefits agriculture and forestry by reducing the costs of pest control. By reducing the amounts of pesticides used on the landscape - WE benefit by improved health outcomes. Over-looked and underappreciated - many people do not understand how important these little insectivores are in our daily lives. 

But boy oh boy are they awesome!

An incredible essay on how we are, with the influence of smartphones and nefarious big tech, becoming a post-literate society.

Read this essay, read a book, and read with your children ❤️

And the end of civilisation

Those who survived the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – known as Hibakusha – have carried their suffering for 80 years as living testimony to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war, with one key wish: that no one else will suffer as they have.
Survivors’ voices 80 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki sound a warning and a call to action
The voices of the Hibakusha offer not only memory, but also moral clarity in an age of growing peril.
