From 2016, most of these books have now been stored away for preservation purposes but still a cool place to visit if you're in Dublin #WeekBforBooks #AlphabetChallenge

📍Trinity College, Dublin

Photo from 2016 taken inside the library at Trinity College in Dublin. Two stories of several bookshelves loaded with historic and important books. Also featured is a wooden domed ceiling, and ornate wood frames of the bookshelves. At the very bottom of the photo are alabaster busts of several authors.

I want #CanadaSky to know that if you are a Canadian senator, MP, MLA in Alberta, or Councillor in Calgary, I will follow you, support and engage. Bring it, and leave that bad place please #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Senator Paula Simons 🇨🇦 @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social · 9d

This is a very kind wish. But I'd also like to ask you to follow other Canadian senators who are already here, and who haven't been as lucky as I have in connecting with an audience. I convinced a fair few Senate friends to give this platform a try, but many didn't feel it worked for them. #cdnpoli

#canadiansky Let’s get the Senator’s follower numbers up to demonstrate engagement here is good comms strategy.

Frosty #WeekWforWindows #AlphabetChallenge

Frost clings to a balcony window, in pretty patterns. You can see the downtown Calgary skyline through the frost.

Ah, this warms my Canadian heart. Thanks to the 456,364 fellow Albertans for making your voice heard, and to the volunteers who worked tirelessly. And a special shout out to @lukaszukab.bsky.social for being the driving force. #ForeverCanadian 🇨🇦

Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @lukaszukab.bsky.social · Oct 28

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.

None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦

Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

Letting sleeping dogs lie #AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuiet

A cute Aussie Corgi mix having a peaceful snooze on a faux shearling blankie on the sofa. The dog is a mix of black, grey, white and brown with big ears and a bigger heart (and personality).

Nothing beats a fall morning on the prairie. So crisp and clear, and the colours pop! #Grateful

📍 from the zoo bridge, Calgary 🇨🇦

A view of the Calgary downtown skyline in the morning golden hour. In the foreground is the Bow River and a gravel bar. Trees line the banks in their fall colours, and the sky is bright blue.
