An incredible instance of an octopus disguising itself as the head of a bigger marine creature.

Copenhagen

[mieka west @miekamonster]

@cityofcalgary hey did you know that Copenhagen has a green program where if you pick up a bags worth of litter you get free access to museums? Equally you can rent a kayak for free if you pick up garbage around the harbour. It works great!! We could do this by the Bow River!

[mieka west @miekamonster]

@Rainmaker1973 @bevedoni Thank you. I think about you often

@LiveWireCalgary We used to have an older single family house next door. Now we have a tall 4plex. We used to see windows trees & flowers. Now this is the view from the kitchen window. This view is the result of that zoning. The city said the developer did everything by the book. @cityofcalgary

@LACity
1. Recognize this is now a unique building with increased value
2. Finish it
3. Sell the customized units
4. Save millions in removal of artwork
5. Pay the artists

@simongerman600 @NASA Now put that into an Ikea setting and it might hit home. It needs more scale and context and relatability.

Thank you @InglewoodYYC Snow Eater was a total blast! That DJ was top. #yyc

Nearly a third of the earth's soil is degraded and, according to the UN figures from 2020, an area the size of a soccer field is eroded every five seconds

@pmcruz Your work gets even more subtle and more beautiful.

@LiveWireCalgary The dog he fostered bit everyone. Yes what Lawrence did to this foster dog was wrong. But now his own dog has been taken away and he was devoted to it. That dog was his life. ARF should never have put that foster dog into another animal’s home. ARF needs to take responsibility

@CBCdsouza hey there’s a phd researcher who studies wildfires whose research project showed that forests that have greater biodiversity don’t burn as much as forests that lack biodiversity. Canada needs a biodiversity task force to tackle forest fires.

@JyotiGondek Would be helpful if people could stay curbside in their RVs. We had a special bylaw for this during the flood. Thoughts?

@InglewoodYYC Tonight you can grab a slice from Lina’s at the Night Market. #inglewood #food #pizza

Wrong handle. This company built it: @GrahamBuilds. What a building!

[mieka west @miekamonster]

Blown away by this new building in Vancouver. Designed by Kengo Kuma built by @GrahamConstr. It feels otherworldly.
