We got crabs in North Central a while back. I’ll check & see if I’ve got pictures…
I was going to get a couple of T-Shirts printed but didn’t get around to it.
Im probably the only person in North Central with crab traps but it wasnt me.
Freshwater aquarium crabs online. Didn’t last long. They ended up in the wrong tank and didn’t make friends….whoops. They should’ve gone into this one:
But went into this one. Figured they’re armoured, so they’ll be OK. Nope.
This is the only non-Cichlid that can exist in with about 20 other Cichlids it seems… & only because of its armour & size:
It’s getting transferred to a bigger less busy aquarium later today.
This one is just to Fascinate Grandkids:

Yet another lying fraud this time from a neighbouring country notorious for it's divisive & violent politics
Activist Sacheen Littlefeather exposed by sisters for reported fraudulent Native American identity: 'A lie'
n an explosive new interview, the sisters of Sacheen Littlefeather have claimed the late activist was a liar and a fraud — and not Native at all.
Speaking separately to the San Francisco Chronicle, Trudy Orlandi and Rosalind Cruz shared that they are not ethnically Native American and that they identify as "Spanish." Littlefeather, the sisters said, was born Marie Louise Cruz but changed her name after rediscovering what she purportedly believed was her Native American heritage and becoming active in protests as a young woman.
Orlandi said, "It's a lie. … My father was who he was. His family came from Mexico, and my dad was born in Oxnard."
Littlefeather, famously known for rejecting Marlon Brando's Best Actor award for "The Godfather" at the 1973 Academy Awards, passed away earlier this month. She died on Oct. 2 at the age of 75 when breast cancer metastasized in her lung.
Littlefeather was subjected to intense scrutiny for her actions on Brando's behalf and had shared in the past that the incident caused her to be "blacklisted" by Hollywood.
Cruz said of her sister's actions, "It is a fraud," before adding, "It's disgusting to the heritage of the tribal people. And it's just … insulting to my parents."
Both women say they were not invited to the funeral. Their predominant issue with Littlefeather's accounts, they recalled, was her recollection of an abusive childhood.
The sisters say it was difficult seeing her "being venerated as a saint" after her death, as they say their father, who Littlefeather claims was an abusive alcoholic, neither drank nor hurt them.
They allege that Littlefeather's story of an abusive father was actually a tale inspired by their paternal grandfather.
"My father was deaf, and he had lost his hearing at 9 years old through meningitis," Cruz said. "He was born into poverty. His father, George Cruz, was an alcoholic who was violent and used to beat him. And he was passed to foster homes and family. But my sister, Sacheen, took what happened to him."
"You’re not going to be a Mexican American princess," Orlandi remarked. "You’re going to be an American Indian princess. It was more prestigious to be an American Indian than it was to be Hispanic in her mind."
Her younger sister said, "Sacheen did not like herself. She didn’t like being Mexican. So, yes, it was better for her that way to play someone else. … The best way that I could think of summing up my sister is that she created a fantasy. … She lived in a fantasy, and she died in a fantasy."
The interview's veracity is being called into question due to the interview being done with Native American journalist and activist Jacqueline Keeler. Keeler is "known for co-creating the #NotYourMascot hashtag in 2013," per Deadline, which sparked Washington's NFL team to change its name and logo.
Keeler has also created "a public list" of "non-Native people who I or other Native American people suspect or proved to have manufactured their Native identities for personal gain." She calls that list "Pretendians."
A spokesperson for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures told Fox News Digital when reached for comment that the Academy "respectfully declines to comment on the op-ed."

Lies & More Lies
Vianne Timmons removed as president of Memorial University
Board of regents made announcement Thursday afternoon in MUN's Gazette
Now it's Fake Metis Gov't Ministers

Kevin Klein calls his claim to being Métis a private and personal journey, but the news release issued when he became environment minister and his official government web page state: 'Klein is a proud Métis Canadian.' (Warren Kay/CBC)
The Manitoba government's website continues to identify Environment Minister Kevin Klein as Métis, even though the president of the Manitoba Métis Federation, a prominent Métis lawyer and Klein's own brother all dispute the claim.
"The basis for stating Mr. Klein as Indigenous is because he has publicly identified himself as a Canadian Métis," a spokesperson for Premier Heather Stefanson wrote in January.
Klein says he belongs to the Painted Feather Woodland Métis. The entity is not recognized by the Manitoba Métis Federation or the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's a for-profit company based out of a single-family residence near Bancroft, Ont., just over 250 kilometres northeast of Toronto.
Klein says he claims to be Métis as a connection to his late mother, whom he has publicly identified as Indigenous.
"I'm not self-identifying, nor am I using it, nor am I mentioning it every time I open my mouth. It is a family issue for me and a connection to my mother," Klein said in an interview during his run for mayor last fall.

Kevin Klein said 'my mother was murdered by her partner and she was Indigenous' in front of an installation of red dresses at Winnipeg City Hall on May 5, 2022. Red Dress Day is also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Contacted by CBC News, Klein's brother, Christopher Rout, said he does not consider himself, his brother or his mother Métis.
"I remember learning about Métis in school. I think I would have learned something then and been told something, but no. No, we're not Métis," Rout said in an interview with CBC News. He would seek Métis citizenship if he were eligible, he said.
Rout is Klein's younger brother and although they have the same parents, their surnames are different. Klein officially changed his name from Harold Kevin Rout Jr. to Kevin Elvis Klein sometime before his second marriage in 1994, according to the marriage certificate.
Manitoba Métis Federation president David Chartrand told CBC after a request for comment that he disputes Klein's claim to be Métis.
"Kevin Klein simply does not meet our criteria. We do not recognize the Painted Feather Woodlands Métis or any other group that claims Métis identity outside our definition. This is no different than any of the other cases where groups or individuals are calling themselves Métis when they really mean mixed heritage," Chartrand wrote in an email to CBC News.

Genealogical research done by CBC News — some going back five generations — did not find any evidence Klein's mother has a Métis or other Indigenous ancestor.
Census and other historical records say most of Klein's maternal ancestors came to Canada from England or Ireland.
His relative who most recently immigrated to Canada was his great-grandfather born in 1889, who came from Jersey, one of the British Islands. Two of his great-grandmother's grandparents were born in England, the other two in Ireland.
The only one of Klein's ancestors whose roots were not traced back overseas was his great-grandmother born in 1875, whose death certificate indicated her racial origin is English. Her grandparents, three of whom were born in the U.S. and the other in Canada, all said they were not "Indian" in the 1861 census.
This excerpt of the 1931 census shows Klein's great-grandparents Richard Winacott and Annie Winacott (née Davis), and Klein's grandfather Melrose, a.k.a. Mike. The racial origin for all three is listed as English. This is one of dozens of historical records reviewed by CBC News. (Government of Canada)
Premier Stefanson said Klein is one of two Indigenous MLAs in the Progressive Conservative caucus in an interview in January. She also stressed the importance of having Indigenous representation in her party to more accurately reflect the population of the province.
"We need to attract more Indigenous candidates and we are working towards that … more diversity within our candidate selection," Stefanson said.
When informed about the lack of proof of Klein's Métis ancestry and the statements by Chartrand and Klein's brother, a spokesperson who responded on behalf of Stefanson declined to say whether the premier still considers Klein to be an Indigenous PC caucus member.
"As we have worked hard to become Manitoba's most diverse party, we are proud to have the first ever Muslim minister of the Crown, first Black minister and first woman premier in our caucus. Minister Klein is on the record stating clearly he is on a personal journey, and his ancestry is not for political gain," the spokesperson wrote.

Premier Heather Stefanson says Kevin Klein is one of two Indigenous MLAs in the PC government, along with Selkirk MLA Alan Lagimodiere. She underlines the importance of attracting Indigenous candidates to accurately reflect the composition of Manitoba's population during an interview with Ian Froese in January.
The spokesperson said the premier is satisfied with the vetting of PC Party candidates, but questioned whether New Democrats are satisfied with their candidate vetting process in light of revelations in 2017 about NDP Leader Wab Kinew's criminal convictions and stayed domestic violence charges from about two decades ago.
Métis lawyer Jean Teillet, who is Louis Riel's great-grandniece, says universities, governments and other institutions are currently trying to recruit Indigenous people, which could give a candidate who claims to be Indigenous an advantage in an interview.
Teillet said it also benefits the PC party.
"They stand up and they say, 'We've got Indigenous people, see, we're not acting against Indigenous people because we've got Indigenous people in our party. Look, and they speak for their people.'"
His failed bid for mayor was followed by a victory in the Kirkfield Park provincial byelection.
At different stages of the campaigns, Klein identified himself as a "proud Métis Canadian" on his X, formerly known as Twitter, account and his website.
Over the course of the past several months, the word Métis has been removed from Klein's personal accounts — first from his X biography, then from his personal website — but the government record hasn't changed.
Kevin Klein posted this photo on his X, formerly known as Twitter, account on Aug. 2, 2022, with the caption: 'Being a proud Métis Canadian I wanted to make my first @Folklorama stop the Métis pavilion, and it was awesome.

Seriously though, the CBC is a joke and I wouldn't trust any "research" they have done to be honest.
However, this is what happens when you hire people based on race or religion etc and not on qualifications.
Why is it always women? Because women tend to use the social ladder when looking for power or status while men tend to use qualification based skill sets.
This social power given to first nations and cow towing to it will not work out well for anyone.
