The Alberta oil & gas industry is full of scofflaws, it would seem, and they are being protected by the very government structures that are supposed to protect us from then. The fact that they are letting rural landowners, who live in the heart of the UCP support base, get this angry tells how incompetent they are. #ableg #yyc #yeg #oil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMo1a9huZCo

Whenever I walk under the low level bridge I wonder how much life it has left in it. I'm sure the city has inspectors who are monitoring corrosion rates, but it still looks pretty bad when the coatings are completely disbonded in large sections. #yeg

If you're cold, they're cold. Wrap your buildings in an extra layer before letting them out in extreme cold conditions. #yeg

Am I correct that there is about, say, 4-8 times more #yeg than #yyc posts on the Fediverse. Or, perhaps, have I subsequently followed more Edmonton people? I don't think so. May I need to post more Calgary-centric stuff to liven things up. #Alberta

@jsstaedtler@mastodon.art three years ago i decided that i wanted to be an interactive media artist, I began putting together a portfolio for applying to an art school (macewan university in #yeg). they had a one page doc that explained what a portfolio was, what to include, and what *not* to include at the top of the don’t-include list was “manga and/or anime illustrations”. Not Real Art rang out loud and clear. i immediately understood what the culture was like in that fine art department. people with absolutely no understanding of contemporary art culture, and still stuck in the same boring ideas that they were trained on 30 years ago. i have absolutely no ability to draw/paint manga, but even with my limited understanding of the medium there is no doubt much of it is art. right then and there i realized fine art school had nothing to teach me that i couldn’t learn on my own. i abandoned that career path and invested all that time (and 1/100th of the money) into developing my artistic craft, with my own sense for aesthetic quality and pride of craftsmanship we all know when we’ve done shitty work, and when we’ve done good work. no one outside of your discipline gets to decide if it has artistic merit. only people you respect within your artistic medium get to have any say at all. a lot of words to say: thanks MacEwan fine art dept - your absolute hatred of manga was exactly the kick in the ass i needed to become an artist!

February in Edmonton! When the sun stays in the sky longer, but the snow & ice still stick around — and there's lots to do indoors & out. And hey, we're less than a week in & I've got a calendar thread for you all! Which is important because there are lots of excellent concerts, plus theatre & festivals, all starting this weekend! #YEG Festivals & Special Events: Still on: Winter City Weekends at the City Hall rink. "Ice Grooves" has DJs planning Fri & Sat evenings, while "Swing & Skate" on Sunday afternoons has live bands playing inside City Hall (dancing encouraged), with the audio piped outside to the skaters. Back on after melt-related closure (unless it's melted again...): Ice Castles at Fan Park downtown. $15-24 (+fees). Feb 7&8: Togather Chinatown Arts Festival at Pacific Mall (105 Ave @ 97 St), with a vendor's market and live performances. 1/??

Be careful out there this morning, #yeg. It's a literal skating rink after the freezing rain. #yegtraffic
