I could just wave around me and go, y'know, Canada. But in fact it's a particular Canadian folk song:
"And the blackflies, the little blackflies
Always the blackflies, no matter where you go
I'll die with the blackflies a-pickin' my bones
In north Ontar-i-o-i-o
In north Ontar-i-o."

#LateNightWrite What were the inspirations for your world's aesthetic and vibes? If you can't think of anything, was the original idea behind its creation (or inclusion if it's a real world place)?

Editing tomorrow's ep of Sandy and Nora on a dock and the dragonflies are doing good work around my head to eat up the blackflies. It literally sounds like they're getting caught in electric traps.

Yes but how were the blackflies
Another #FossilFriday #flashback -- this week to 1994 & some beautiful colonial rugosan #corals in the #Devonian (~395 MYA) Kwataboahean Fm. At the aptly named #CoralRapids on the Abitibi River, #HudsonBayLowland, #Ontario 🇨🇦. A dull day for fieldwork, but a brilliant one for #fossils.

First lake paddle of the year.
Supposed to jump to 31 tomorrow. Rough for everything else, great for paddling (and it keeps the blackflies down)
