My riding is one of the last few very safe NDP ridings left.

Or I should say as a party that claims to have different values as that.

He just got kinda griftery to me -- like his insta pages peddling his wife's influencer gear. It was distasteful as a party that says they are against such things.

Ya I'm not surprised. He wasn't my favourite tbh.

Forested city bike path--urbanism done correctly 🤩

For the last week I have been sitting through bee photos on iNat trying to find good genus example photos.

Now when I close my eyes I see bee faces and little stripey abdomens...😂🐝🐝

I don't hate it.

Yeah! They could also be Habropoda though I'm not familiar with totally black ones. Neat observation!

Looks like a "mating ball"! A common behaviour across some genera of bees. I think these are Anthophora sp. But I'm not skilled enough to say what species.

I'm not selling this version but its the one I would tour with and hopefully pitch to a publisher.

Working on Prototype 2.0!

After a bunch of play testing I'm ready to reprint the bee cards. I want to update them with prettier photos.

Do you or does someone you know have beautiful bee photos I could use for the prototype?

I need all the North American Genera of bees.

i really dislike that its so bad for the environment cause it really does make a great tool for figuring out code

Asking for coding help on Stack overflow: *Spends an hour creating a carefully crafted example and question*

Responses: "my god you're such a f**king idiot how are you even functioning?!?🤬"

Asking ChatGPT: how do code?

Response: "Oh my god yes, Queen! Lets figure this out! 🫰💙"

If you thought missing a bus after running for it was dejecting? Try hobbling as fast you can (not being able to run) and missing it by 5 seconds

Two buses today pulled away as I tried my best to reach them 😭

I managed to cut my code time from 22 hours down to 15 minutes!

Am I god?!

YES! I also excited by that its been a long time!

British Columbia does have some pretty buildings on occasion

Im in the process of updating my native bee board game prototype after some major mechanic revisions.

One of the fun little things Ive done is redrawn the resources tokens in #Procreate

They are stone, leaf and water. Then combos of each.
