Autumn Skies: One of my favourite times of year for sky views. The second photo looks as though the moon is layered like a camera shutter glitch, but I like it! 🍂🌃 #autumn #fall #skyphotography #sky @nelming

Foxtrot Restaurant: Thoroughly enjoyed discovering this dining experience at Spruce Meadows Equestrian facility in Calgary. It looks out over one of the horseback riding arenas. The service and food were top notch. We’ll definitely go again 🍽️🎈🏇 #restaurant #dining #entertainment @nelming

Mini to Maxi Ecosystems: I think everyone should have to manage an aquarium for a while to learn how every little thing can make the difference to its health, including the chemistry balance—comparable to our global health. #philosophy #education #ecosystem #environment #ecology @nelming

Did you know that our globe has been a single landmass three to six times in its lifetime, per geologists? I knew about Pangaea over 175 million years ago, but while doing prehistoric story research, I learned about 5 other times: Pannotia nearly 600 million years ago; Rodinia 1.1 billion years ago; Columbia (Nuna) nearly 1.8 billion years ago; as well as Kenorland and Vaalbara sometime between 2.5 and 3 billion years ago! #academia #stem #research #writing #amazingfacts #didyouknow @nelming

Frank Zappa’s poetic observations hold true even today: I’m obsessed and deranged; I’ve existed for years but very little has changed; I’m the tool of the government and industry too; For I’m destined to rule and regulate you; I may be vile and pernicious but you can’t look away; I make you think I’m delicious with the stuff that I say; I’m the best you can get, have you guessed me yet?’ I’m the slime oozin’ out from your TV set! #philosophy #Zappa #music #entertainment #writing #media @nelming

AI got IT wrong! Researchers beware: you must go deeper than Wikipedia or AI. Not sure how it determined my career, but CPHR means chartered professional in human resources. Also, my website clearly states I was born and raised in Canada. I discovered an obituary for an American with my name. Perhaps this browser’s AI thought she moved to Heavenly Canada when she passed away. #research #writing #ai #artificialintelligence @nelming

Circle of Life & Demise: The universe presents an interesting conundrum on this topic—it seems you cannot have one without the other. It’s part and parcel of everything, as in, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. #philosophy #writing #deepthoughts @nelming

Far Side Humour: I know I’ve posted this before, but it keeps popping into my head while I’m researching the Mesolithic age for my new manuscript 😊🛖 #humor #funny #research #study #prehistory #writing @nelming

Last weekend I visited the When Words Collide conference’s book market corner. So many books to choose from: everyone had backpacks and bags for shopping 👍Then I walked out of the convention centre to find a parade happening—awesome! 📚🥳
