We have only experienced the tip of the iceberg as to how Covid affects the human body long term. There hasn’t been enough time to see the causal links. We should be doing everything we can to prevent it - especially in kids.

My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness.

Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines.

A policy of ending pediatric COVID vaccination will disable, hospitalize and even kill Albertan children, leaving blood on Smith’s hands.

Beavers have dammed the creek in front of our property. Since this has happened, we are the only green valley throughout the summer in the area. Mist comes off the water at night and keeps the vegetation alive in the dry season. Yeah beavers 🦫

Richard Levangie @richardlevangie.bsky.social · May 19

If we want to reduce the impact of #forestfires caused by #climatechange and encourage #endangered fish to return to our rivers and lakes, we need more beavers.

And what could be more #Canadian 🇨🇦 than that?

Please share. This is really important.

K-Pg

EXTINCTION EVENT

66 million years ago

76% SPECIES EXTINCT

Seventy-six percent of all species became extinct following Earth's fifth major extinction-the Cretaceous-Palacogene IK-Pgi extinction event.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The K-Pg event, like other mass extinctions was complex and probably included multiple causes Evidence of one possible cause-an enormous impact crater, about 180 km wide-was discovered in the 1980s beneath andiments in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico Radiometric dates from the crater indicate that it formed around the same time as the extinction, suggesting that an extraterrestrial impact plaved a pivotal role

There is also maunting evidence that missive volcanic activity in what is now India, before the impact event altered global environments and destabilized marine and terrestrial communities This upheaval may have left communities weakened, and the ensuing impact deall the knockout blow
