The rest of the world has no idea what they're missing. Made in Canada, only sold in Canada.

Canada is small in population and mighty in our economy. It is incredible to see the high-rise tower construction happening in Toronto and Vancouver in this North American overview.

How many high-rises does your city have under construction? : r/skyscrapers www.reddit.com/r/skyscraper...
This looks interesting Karen!
Too many Bots. Is there a way to set-up 'approve follow requests' like other social media rather than fully open follower ability? Possibly, for each post choose who can see it?
Incredible! So...what are the 10?

In Riley Park, located between #Kensington & #SAIT in #Calgary there is a small patch of Plains Prickly pear, which bloom for a few weeks in late June. The rest of the year they're rarely noticed. This second #photo was taken yesterday. You can't say these cacti aren't hardy, no? 😉 #photography
Lovely! Thanks for this post. I will check them out.
This is amazing growth of Bluesky.

I am fairly new here & seem to have increasing number of accounts that appear to be (?) BOTs following. How are BOTS managed?

Vague accounts with limited followers following. Is it possible to keep #Bluesky followers to be only real humans?

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉

We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:
Over time, I have wondered what is in the garages? How are the spaces being used? It is a curiosity. It would be neat to find studies on garage use by people by location.
75% could be a great guess. Anecdotally, I know quite a few people who have only storage in their garage. People with garages and driveways sometimes express concern in planning processes about new density nearby—that it will take up "their" street parking.
I wonder how many garages are used for parking? How much is used for storage or other purposes? Are there studies on how people use their garages today, the past, regionally over time?
My post wasn't clear the former. Of the percentage of people with garages, how many use them for cars? I am not sure if there are any studies out there, and I am very curious. And overtime, how have garages been used?
One thing I wonder, how many people use garages for their cars?

I'm excited to discuss mixed-income housing and its potential to create more inclusive communities with economic opportunity.

President Carter was a true friend to Habitat for Humanity and worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. He helped families build and repair homes, and brought hope and opportunity to people around the world. Please join in remembering and celebrating his positive impact. #HonoringCarter
US President Jimmy Carter led through hands on building Habitat for Humanity homes. I had the honour to participate in the 2017 Edmonton, Canada Jimmy & Rosalynn led Carter House build. What an inspiring legacy he created leading new homes over 30 years with 108,100 volunteers. #Carter #Habitat

I don’t think we should care about aesthetics that much, but I *do* think people think subsidized affordable housing is “scarier” than it is.

This building is home to a very fancy brunch place and awesome coffee shop, and looks pretty “luxury”.

Most units are home to people making 30-60% AMI
