I have a deep appreciation for bananas.

I’m going through my first serious depression since finding the right meds and it really sucks but doesn’t feel like the world is entirely collapsing while on fire which I guess is nice.

X gonna give it to ya [inspirational]

Someone on Facebook complained that the effort we spent holding a funeral for a raccoon-shaped traffic cone would have been put to better use picking up litter. We can do that too – meet at the diverter this Saturday. #BikeHfx

Non-cat requiring task.

This Day in Buster… April 21, 1924 “Sherlock Jr” is released. Buster Keaton parodies the advertisements peddling book, disguise, and magnifying glass for just a dollar down payment, made popular by the love of fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. #oldhollywood #silentfilm

The migration to Ghost should now be complete. The last step was some subscription backend stuff which on our end appears to have gone off without a hitch. But if you start having any issues with your subscription, please reach out! The new podcast RSS feed will come Soon™

Harvard/Allen ambition

I would absolutely destroy a Little Caesars Hot n Ready right now and I haven’t even celebrated 4:20 yet.

My favourite things about refuse cans in Japan was one that says “burnable” and that makes way more sense mentally when it comes to recycling.

Is there a new paper out tomorrow? Yes, a physical paper will definetly be in Atlantic News or the @kingsbookstore.bsky.social Will an issue be in your inbox? About 99% sure on that one. Will there be a post on www.grandparade.news? Maybe! Switching to Ghost is going great, thanks for asking!

The computers have done the magic, new www.grandparade.news is up

May the return of The Raccoons series include an episode in memory of Scritchy Raccone

This Day in Buster… April 18, 1930 "Free And Easy,” Buster Keaton’s first talkie where he actually speaks (and sings), opens in New York City. #oldhollywood #damfino

catching up on today's journal page #pylonwars

Attended the memorial for Scritchy Raccone, advocate for safe streets and victim of the #PylonWars. #BikeHFX

Halifax keeping it real #PylonWars #Scritchy

Today was good.

What’s missing in women+ health research? IWK Health is asking people across the Maritimes to help answer that. If you’re 18+ and live in the region, you can share up to five questions you think research isn’t addressing. SURVEY: www.maritimewomenshealth.com?fbclid=IwY2x...

Why are dozens of people standing in the middle of the street looking at a woman on a planter? The answer may surprise you!

Big turnout for Scritchy the Raccone's memorial service at the Harvard/Allan diverter this afternoon. @katynotie.bsky.social delivered a moving eulogy before mourners observed a moment of silence. #BikeHfx

Looking for another event to attend after Scritchy's service? Come check out my @hfxrise.bsky.social cohort's culminating event! (In the community room attached to the new pool building on the Commons) Free food! Community involvement opportunities! And a whole lot of cool prizes from local orgs

Someone’s going to be me in a past life and I am so so sorry

THE BABY PIGEON IN MY GUTTER HAS FLOWN AWAY!

NINE INCH NOIZE DAYYYYYY

See you tomorrow ❤️

#StreetsForEveryone The diagonal diverter has reclaimed public space for the community. Prior to its installation, I would not have considered this spot to be safe enough for a gathering in the middle of an intersection. But that's definitely where all the bikes will be parked on Saturday afternoon.

In Canada we had an ACTUAL resurrection of the @katynotie.bsky.social and the Pylon is the symbol of our devotion.

OH NO ITS LAST PITT DAY

And then join the Kidical Mass spring social at the Oval! hfx.bike/kidical-mass...

All are welcome to join to honour the memory of Scritchy Raccone, our fallen hero of the #PylonWars. A small service will be held at the intersection of Harvard and Allan Streets in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Saturday, April twenty second 18th at 2:00 PM.

If you read my latest @grandparade.bsky.social story on the #PylonWars, you know that I had a personal run in with the pylon destroyers.

Driving is anti-social and anti-whimsy.

No.... the Scritchy family was kidnapped?! Not OK! Genuinely, legitimately!

Oh shit #PylonWars

*walks by random bag of stuff* *peaks in* *sees medical instrument* oh yeah whatever happened to my collapsed lung

Scritchy has returned, with helpers! #BikeHfx #PylonWars

Beautiful day for a walk in the cemetery (but not to clean anything up because our bees and other little friends are still sleeping with our dead ones.)

Fear and Loathing on Harvard street

There is something important I am supposed to do today and I do not know what that is.

Monday's show is out now. In it, I take a deep dive into a potential solution to Halifax's fiscal woes that is entirely within our council's power to enact. And they are policies council will enact... If council actually wants to achieve fiscal sustainability & the HRMs strategic plans' stated goals

Pick up your copy today (or get it online) to read the conclusion of the Pylon Wars, including my run in with unknown pylon putters and pylon removers!

New paper out tomorrow in Atlantic News and @kingsbookstore.bsky.social. On the front @katynotie.bsky.social brings us a dispatch from the last days of the #PylonWars. On the back @landofsticks.bsky.social opines Halifax's fiscal future and questionable subsidies.
