Love to see another way climate change can kill :blobcat_weary: “Place Glacier continues to melt into a rising glacial lake. It could burst or spill over at any minute.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/place-glacier-melting-into-bursting-lake-9.7235063 #climatechange […]

Why does this bike lane exist? #bikeYVR.

just installed my first ever air conditioner 😌👌 it's so *cool* 😁

We went to the downtown yesterday a few hours before the first FIFA game. It was interesting to re-discover the feeling of being at a truly touristic destination with tons of people walking.

This feels very much like a Fediverse thing…I’m looking to re-wild my backyard. Anyone know someone in Metro Vancouver who could help me? Boost for each please. #gardening #rewilding

We have a lot of thoughts about last night's vote. We're thrilled that 4/5 of the Vision Zero Action Plan passed, and grateful to the hundreds of you who wrote in support. But we're also dismayed that ABC stripped out the most important measure. Read more: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/06/10/a...

went to a standup without sex jokes, and it was actually good? who would've thought

BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.

Since BC Epic is no longer in the cards, I'm trying to put something more accessible together. The draft looks like this. Hoping for no wildfires. #bikepacking

At what point does the Government of Canada sue Meta for damages to our national sovereignty and encourage every proud Canadian and Albertan to GET THE HECK OFF THESE TOXIC PLATFORMS? They are literally helping tear our country apart for the lols and a few bucks. #democracy #canpoli #cdnpoli […]

With Pashinyan winning in the Armenian elections, I'm glad the country doesn't share a border with Russia.

Yesterday I brought a resolution to tell the federal government regulate super bright LED headlights at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in Edmonton. Local governments across our country agreed to improve road safety for many people with visual impairments and all road users. It passed.

Seeing how police treated the key witness in the Tony Parsons case delivered another nail in the coffin of my trust to this damned institution.

"I've been up until the last 2 years a 100km plus a week cyclist. Now I don't ride at all" We get a lot of emails like this from local Vancouverites. When people wonder why our cycling mode share is stuck in the single digits - it's not the rain, it's not the hills, this is why.

Unfortunately my small cargo bike can't carry large furniture, but it can carry a dolly that can carry large furniture! ✅ new to us dining table found new home #BikeTooter

it's incredible how much more comfortable the bike got after i replaced tires (26→30mm) and grips #BikeTooter

Opposition to dense housing often includes “families with kids need backyards”, but families with kids seem to live primarily in dense housing. https://doodles.mountainmath.ca/posts/2022-05-11-children-are-good-actually/index.html #urbanism

Well done, parks employees. I heard people giggling up and down the trail.

Almost 4 months after Stalawasem Bridge was open to vehicles, it opens to people walking and cycling. New West took this opportunity to make the area around the bridge complete with connected paths and a new park, while Surrey… didn't bother.

Already 78 signers of the #e7465 petition to get #CarneyRestoreECCC ! Only need 500 to get it presented in Parliament with a response from Government but let's go for 1000! I won't link it directly as it tends to crash the Parliament "www.ourcommons.ca […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

I pictured morel hunting to be more productive. After 5 hours of walking through what's left after wildfire, we barely covered the bottom of the bucket.

Yesterday was my first shift volunteering at a community bike shop 🚲 Another volunteer was teaching me how to process donated bicycles: which to keep and which to strip. #BikeTooter

Vancouver council will be voting on its Safe Streets plan next week! Learn how you can support it and make sure it passes here: https://visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/26/safe-streets-plan/ If you live in Vancouver, please, PLEASE write or call in support! […] [Original post on social.coop]

My workplace is trying again to push me into using their laptop with tracking instead of my own PC 🙄 Obviously, “works? don't change” isn't their approach.

RE: https://social.coop/@Anibyl/116646943565554170 There go our plans to ride BC Epic: besides a cracked bone there's a damaged bike frame. And knowing ICBC, getting compensation to fix everything is going to take months.

It's amazing that BC can legislate commercial vehicles to have dash cams but cannot require commercial vehicles to have side guards. Guess which one actually improves safety for people outside of those vehicles and which one does not?

My best friend got hit by a pickup truck driver. Luckily no broken bones. The driver didn't look, didn't yield. Like I didn't have enough reasons to hate the damned things.

Guilbeault is quitting Liberal caucus and resigning! This speaks volumes to what is happening inside Liberal caucus. Carney has clearly completely lost the environmental and probably the social wing of that party. Everyone else is happy to hang out with more Conservatives I guess. I know […]

Is there a search engine that can give me results from blog posts and articles as opposed to products and services?

Seeing a pedestrian ferry passing you from a window of a ferry packed with cars must be an efficient and free advertisement for Hullo. #hullo #BCFerries

people on mastadon often say that there is no ethical use for those machines they make to grind up orphans into insulation. well look, I was just able to put some of my amazon boxes into it and now a family of doves (the same birds _some people_ insultingly refer to as pigeons) have used it to […]

I had vaguely heard of Flipper Devices. I am a sucker for minimalist open tech in every form. Their new project #flipperone is an audacious plan and I will be fascinated to follow along. https://blog.flipper.net/flipper-one-we-need-your-help/ #rpi #flipper

When people I meet ask me where I'm from, most guesses are countries in Western and Northern Europe (rarely Eastern), but today a new contender appeared: Uzbekistan 🇺🇿

I've been booking some summer travel to Europe & every single website has tax-and-fees-inclusive pricing, including tickets to shows. There are heaps of junk fees, but they're included, so you don't have to care. Canada's busy fussing about how to prevent junk fees when this solution is right there.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Kent Avenue cleanup yesterday! We removed 181kg of trash along a 2km stretch of the bikeway in 3 hours. Check out some photos and other fun tidbits: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/05/12/m...

sorry about your dogs, but I'm not quite sure this is ok to install a memorial plaque for them in a public park

Weather tomorrow looks good! Come out at 11am and join us in the Kent Avenue cleanup followed by a social. Don't think just do it!

śmiatańnik for dinner 😋

Just experienced riding in a trolleybus without the poles up. Needless to say we've lost several minutes on these manouvers.

I often tell people who ask me about where I'm from that #belarus is not particularly famous for anything. However an explorer of soviet decadance and a friend of gopniks Bald and Bankrupt rated it # 1 among all the post-soviet republics, and I agree: if you're into that kind of stuff you won't […]
