Earth's escape velocity = 11.27 km/s, so get used to being here. I take between 5-8 K photos per year. Some are even good!

I’m Sheri’s brother. Surrey is only a possibility based on cell towers which can be inaccurate. Please watch for her or her truck wherever you are seeing this. Call the RCMP with file number 2025-39325 if you have *anything* at all that could possibly help. Thank you.

My sister Sheri Bissonnette has been missing from Kamloops since Wednesday morning. We now have video clips that look very much like her truck on Long Lake Road off Hwy5A and another clip near Goose Lake Rd in the same area. 1/4

I’m Sheri’s brother. I want to emphasize she was last seen Wednesday morning and is driving (truck description in story). RCMP have a general search area based on her last known location, but device pings are limited and the device in question isn’t her usual phone. She could be a long way … 1/2

This is my sister, Sheri-Lynn Bissonnette. If you know anything at all, please contact me here or the RCMP.
This is extremely out of character and everyone is worried sick.

One of two cascades at Flatbed Falls (Tumbler Ridge, B.C.) for #WaterfallWednesday. Low water allowed me to walk right out above it ... while staying dry.

People who steal from others are the worst. Don’t fall for this “BC Hydro” scam.
There’s a warning about increased scam activity on the BC Hydro website.

The Carney government does seem to be particularly prone to actions that are premised on the idea that its authority, once declared, instantly becomes 100% effective.
It's a very "I am the boss" mentality; one often susceptible to being caught surprisised by other actors' soft and not-soft power.

Leaving BC and First Nations out of talks about a pipeline is a great way to slow any hypothetical future project.
The inevitable risk of "streamlining" processes is that vital steps are skipped, leading to bad, often unsustainable decisions.

Looks like @mark-carney.bsky.social isn't who I thought he was. Oil spills are all on you, sir.
I thought he understood climate change and why we're running out of road to keep kicking the fossil fuel can down.
I probably should become a member of the Green Party soon.

A shot from September. This was supposed to be a crisp, focus-stacked image, but I goofed the settings and the shots won't blend together, so I'm just sharing the one with the most focus on the shrooms.

There's a moss-covered, gravel roof over an entrance to my apartment building, and this little fungi has found a home there.
I wish I had a ladder so I could shoot this properly versus hand-held through my apartment window.
