Beautiful music from some of the world's greatest. If you're wondering why Myanmar is on the no-entry list - it's because those kids know how to deal with #Authoritarianism. See for yourself.

The colonial tubariums of #hemichordate graptolites are the most disparate secreted matrix structures in the history of nature. The genus #Rhabdopleura emerged in the mid-Cambrian & persists today. Soon, I will reveal the chemical composition of its tubes. The project has driven me mad. Stay tuned!
I quite like that illustrations of graptolites often look like they're done by someone slowly going mad, like the protagonist of an Edgar Allan Poe story.

As #Alberta & Québec #separatists seek referendums, realize that this is #colonialism - separatists seek to govern indigenous land & people against their consent. Separatists sideline 1st Nations who best know the land, who have much to offer in effective law, good governance, language & culture.
Despite the threat against democracy the work of reconciliation goes on. Canada continues to be a light in dark times.
