I've been meaning to go to the Glenbow museum for a while now but every time I check for it on google it's still closed! I was told it's indefinitely shut down or something.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll have to check the ticket prices for Heritage Park.

I'm local to Calgary so I have as much time as needed and more! I actually grew up here, but I'm not very familiar with the city because I haven't been out much.

What's there to do at Scotsman Hill and Lake Bonavista? Is it just a walking trail?

It's just me - no car, no friends, and very little money! πŸ™‚

I've got volunteering covered (per my previous post) but I'm just looking to get out of the house more and get comfortable with exploring the city on my own as I'm kind of a recluse.

I live quite far down in the southeast so I'm hoping whatever you suggest will be transit accessible and easy to get to.

Thank you!

(Besides the news)!

Please tell me all about it and whether you like/dislike it and what about it you like/dislike πŸ™‚

This is how I write when I need to fulfill a word count and don't have anything meaningful to say! 🀠

Thank you! I do not want the corporate tone lol. I want friendly, approachable, knows what she's doing and has real enjoyment towards her field. But I didn't realize people take LinkedIn that seriously and treat it like you're submitting a resume/job application. This is news to me!

I read them πŸ˜…

Thanks!

I mentioned this in another comment but will just say it again. I guess my intention is to make my bio a bit less formal in a harmless way. I'm not looking for a job right now so I'm not worried about appealing to recruiters, but I would like for people who come across my LinkedIn to view me as approachable and someone who genuinely enjoys the job they're doing.

I do like to use the πŸ™‚ emoji as well but I thought a fish would be appropriate because I work with them.

I'm not necessarily looking for a job right now so I'm not worried about that, but I would like for people who come across my LinkedIn to view me as approachable and someone who genuinely enjoys the job they're doing, if that makes sense?

I knew it was doomed when we started using em dashes as an indicator for chat gpt writing. I actually used them and I had to stop because of it lol. I won't let them take my emojis too!

[-] lunarcat@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Not like that lol. Like this:

I currently work as a Laboratory Biologist where I maintain cultures of both vertebrate and invertebrate aquatic species, and conduct toxicity tests to determine effects on their health, reproduction, and survival. This means I get to work with live organisms (🐟), and includes monitoring water quality, as well as acute and chronic toxicity testing of water, sediment, soil, and effluent samples.

But yes I would un-ironically much rather read linkedin posts πŸ’» with emojis included 😜. Makes me want to kms ☠️ (and everyone else) a little less ☺️. I'm glad I'm not a recruiter πŸ‘ nor looking to get recruited! And I work πŸ–₯️ with a bunch of fellow GenZ πŸ§’πŸ§‘ who do constantly use emojis 🫒 and gifs in our work group chats.

I hope I did that all correctly πŸ’―.

Is there anything you enjoy doing? I could use some inspiration

[-] lunarcat@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

I'm sorry to hear. I hope you're doing okay now, or at least hanging in there.

Most days I sort of feel like I'm empty and I'm not really sure what to do about it. I want to be better and hopefully find some sense of direction, motivation, or fulfillment. I could definitely use some advice and help, please and thank you!

Today I saw a little albino fish at work and I got excited, but I realized I have no one to share it with lol.

Some days the loneliness hits a little harder than others, and tonight just seems to be one of those nights I suppose. I figured maybe I can curb the feeling a bit by striking up a conversation with a stranger.

Feel free to DM as well if you'd like a friend too! Or if you're looking for some kind of connection that you can't seem to find irl. (Hopefully this is allowed?) I promise I will share a photo of my albino fish πŸ™‚

I'm looking for a community or local organization that I can contribute to and feel passionate about. This forum doesn't seem to be super active, but if anyone out there is reading this, I am curious to hear people's experiences volunteering in/around the city, and if you have any personal recommendations based on your own interests?

Thank you!

P.S. I'm interested in things like wildlife/biodiversity/habitat conservation, youth education/outreach, community gardening, animal care, and the arts. But those are all pretty broad categories so if you have any experience with them please do share!

I'm semi-new to drawing and quite new to portraits. Would love any feedback!

Hi! I'm new to Lemmy and I'm looking for a friend to get to know and chat with every day. I'm 27 years old from the Canadian prairies (MST), a complete homebody, and my hobbies include reading, drawing, baking, and watching things. I also love nature and am passionate about biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, even though I'm not really an outdoorsy or adventurous person.

Here are some photos of me and stuff I like to do:Β https://imgur.com/a/WXNxG2u. I hate taking photos of myself so please don't ask me for pics when we get to chatting, but if appearance is important to you, there you go, that's me. You can decide whether you'd like to talk to me based off those photos.

As a conversation starter I'd love to hear all about your 2026 resolutions. Maybe we can even work on ours together! Or if you're not a goal setter, tell me about the last rabbit hole you tumbled into. Mine was a true crime case about the murder of Boston police officer John O'Keefe. If neither of those work, feel free to take the lead and direct our conversation as you please.

Thank you! πŸ™‚
