Todd Macfie owns Platform Design, in partnership with Nina Palmer. I think I’ve had enough of this site for now. Good luck, be kind, move on.

@zendadddy Ha, they had Goeff McFetridge on the CBC yesterday talking about wildfires. "A Canadian designer's perspective on shit burning down"*

*It was not called that at all, and was very heartfelt about people losing their homes

Ruth Howard was tasked with helping create a symbol for the Black candidates. Her first idea of a white dove was turned down. She returned and presented a new drawing of a black panther which the county embraced as their new symbol.

Update to see if this thing still is on.

Tried Costco baby corns they tasted like chlorine. Absolute trash.

Got food supplements from NE Calgary that also has the best damned nigiri in Canada — I’m not even going to tell you where. Top shelf.

Adopted a dog.

Call to action for Calgary Board of Education parents and community members! It's time, again, to demand better air quality in CBE schools! Use our new writing tool to send a letter to trustees, admins and govt! #yyc #ableg #covid19ab #abhealth #abed https://t.co/tqxKrMCyJ5

@calgary_k Hello! They just explained this on the CBC — Altocumulus Standing Lenticular. Like a foam pile on a standing wave on a river. So cool.

@calgaryhester @yyCBEdu @SusanVuka @neclose Thank you Sam! I have asked for testing of air quality and transparency (share the results, and why you choose to act or not act). “We have upgraded to MERV 13 filters where possible” is not transparent — where, when, how many, did it help? Tell us what you are actually doing!

Calgary parents!

Tom Brown (famed miniaturist) and Nikki Martens (educator, awesome human) run a kids nature art program on weeknights in Calgary. Pls check it out.

@NikkiReimer @ryanfitzpublic That’s immediately no from me. Please both of you publish; fuck this bullshit.

@BikeBikeYYC I regret to inform you I have booked an appointment for some filthy work on this beast

[Todd Macfie @platform_design]

@KevinDM @camhoff Yeah our son in grade 2, way fewer masks (teachers aren’t allowed to mention it. Even in the school council meeting a doctor was cut off for mentioning masks. It’s all garbage)

[Todd Macfie @platform_design]

@eggbeck Rideau is excellent!

A million years ago I did a canoe trip with FW. He's republished an excerpt on Outpost. If you are interested in escaping to summer trips, here it is:

@adolwyn @KikkiPlanet @JohnSmiley Thank you! Yes, we can’t go near the principal although I see emails are including Council and Parent Association. Hmm. Thank you so much and nice work!
