Hot tip I’m dropping here first. #MooFree Easter caramel eggs and bunnies are at Bulk Barn downtown in very limited supply. #yyj #veganeaster #dairyfree

Wonderful! Not wondering. #yyj

Seedy Saturday in Victoria yesterday. A great turn out, lots of wondering gardening info.

My first Good Food Box of 2026 supporting Fernwood Neighbourbood House programs. This is the sustainable box that focuses on local and organic produce. You can save 15% on a box until the end of the month with code SAVE15 **all year**! good-food-box.localline.ca/shop #CSABox #GoodFoodBox #yyj

A new vegan-friendly brunch spot just dropped in #YYJ! Floyd’s James Bay (+ more locations soon) has added vegan items to the menu like this tofu scramble and seitan BC Hash w/ sourdough and dairy-free butter. My 1st time dining at Floyd’s thanks to this switch up. #veganbreakfast #victoriabc

What needs to happen to get the inner harbour boardwalk connected through whatever is going here? One of the first weirdnesses we noticed when we moved here. It’s not even a long stretch! If Vancouver can have a continuous seawall, I think we can pull of this 1km stretch to the Leg. #yyj

Are you an older white male cyclist with a white beard and reflective jacket who was cycling south over the trestle yesterday around 1pm and possibly had earbuds in? Your back light fell off on a bump. I picked it up and left it on the ledge. Turned the flasher off. #yyj

BREAKING: We’re dropping our agreement with the BC NDP. To renew our agreement, we asked for material action. Eby’s NDP plainly refused. So we’d like to share a new agreement with YOU. We agree to fight for affordability, take on the establishment, and stand with the working people of BC, always.

A reminder that Big Mountain Foods is #mapleMAGA and not a vegan-owned co. Here’s the mom-daughter owners hosting Pierre in 2024. If you are avoiding soy, just eat legumes. Dry in the instant pot is the most affordable way to get your macros. You don’t need their products. 🫘 #plantprotein #bcpoli

So many awesome treats at Bunny’s Kitchen today. New sweet potato burrito, chick’n facun cheese burger, Heated Rivalry hot choc w/ gingerbread 🏒 players and chocolate twists, pesto twists + MUCH more. Did you also know Bunny’s had a Pay it Forward jar for anyone in need? #yyj #veganfood #

Not even a full week into the new hellish tiktok ownership and I’m being advertised a “European” dating service served with this nice dose of misogyny.

Proof that pressure campaigns and boycotts work. Great work by team Emily Lowan and the BC Greens! #jimpattison #saveon

I found peas dated 2021 in the library on Mayne Island 2 summers ago. I planted them last winter and harvested about 2 cups of peas. Instructions said soak for 8hrs, this was about 14hrs. #frenchsouppea #vegan #growyourownprotein #urbanfoodfarmer #plantprotein

❄️ As part of an Emergency Weather Response, our partners at the Salvation Army ARC are adding 30 extra shelter mats tonight. 📍 Location: 525 Johnson St. 🕗 Hours: Tonight, Jan. 21, 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. ✅ All genders welcome ❎ No pets please

"Perhaps the real absurdity lies not in imagining a tool-using cow, but in assuming such a thing could never exist.” We so under-estimate non-human animals #AnimalIntelligence www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Bunny’s Kitchen needs help naming this new bowl! I would call the sushi bowl if it came with sushi rice but it’s regular long grain. What do you think it should be called? #veganfood #yyj #bunnyskitchen

It is genuinely embarrassing that anyone is still on Twitter. It’s been a cesspool since well before Musk. Saying this as someone from the industry. Its last good year was maybe 2015 but it was already swamped with bots even then.

Please sign my petition demanding that David Eby provide one full day of uninterrupted sunlight this month so we all regain the will to live. #bcpoli

Old Farm Victoria has the harder to find Nafsika’s ricotta and feta for anyone seeking it. #yyj

Baking up something new to me. Any guesses? #sourdough #edsbred

Not sure who needs to hear this but there’s 88cent extra firm Green Cuisine tofu at Urban Grocer! #yyj #protein #plantprotein

$16 worth of sushi from Dragon Roll Sushi in West Saanich. A great option for quick and cheap eats! #yyj

Only a day after a pedestrian was hit at Bay and Tyee I ended up behind this car where the driver was clearly watching tiktoks while driving in poor conditions.

PSA: Bunny’s Kitchen is open today and tomorrow and then closed until Jan 6th reopening. Bunny’s is never open Monday’s! Make your choices wisely! They’ll probably sell out tomorrow. #yyj #victoriabc

I gave it 16mins with no laughs. Love Robby but her Subway Takes on potlucks was funnier than this shock jock set. Who is it for? I blame Mulaney and his new jaw. He has been post-peak for coming up on a decade. Lose the nanny, Robby! I am once again questioning why I still pay for netflix.

CBC @cbcnews.ca needs their version of The Wirecutter, but for Canadian-made products. I need a new set of stainless steel pots and pans and I want impartial reviews of Paderno and Lagostina sets but I’ll never trust a retailers website. #cbc #canadianmade #buycanadian #thewirecutter

If anyone knows a really great place to get a facial massage here where they do myofascial therapy. I keep being advertised stuff on the mainland and across Canada but my jaw hurts here. #yyj

This is unacceptable Victoria. Let’s catch this guy and make sure he does time for a violent assault and has a record. Hopefully there is footage that can be found.

Delicious orange chocolate latte from Bunny’s Kitchen in Esquimalt. I also got a giant Biscoff bonanza square because who can resist those? It is pretzel, marshmallow, chocolate and Biscoff cookie butter aka speculoos also mixed into a sweet and salty heavenly square.

My household is still recovering from Hallowe’en weekend illnesses being passed around. We’ve lost more than 2 weeks to presumably colds. Testing negative for vid, not that that isn’t a false negative but it hasn’t presented like anything but a cold. My point is don’t screw around. Get your shots.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects. But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell. That’s not even the worst part! @emilylowan.bsky.social joined me to discuss:

I recently learned Plantitude in #Ladysmith is closing at the end of December and me and the partner decided to forego our weekend chores and drive up there for a late brunch linner. Glad to learn the new biz taking over the space will keep some of the vegan menu items and baked treats. #yyj

#UVic we are hosting a special on campus Volunteer Info Session on Friday, Nov 28 at David Turpin B255 at 4pm in partnership with the Environmental Studies Student Association. If you’re interested in volunteering with us or learning more about what we do, come on out. No registration required!

Why are these headshots in “advertise with us section” of a Shoppers Drug Mart Ai generated cartoons in two different styles. Do Beatriz and Gaby exist?

Yay! It’s night again. I was getting tired of the pesky sun with its life-giving forces anyway. Me and my worms (in my worm compost bin and brain) we love darkness.

Stoked about Mamdani's win and want to build the same energy here in BC? RSVP for our AGM today - November 14-16th in Vancouver, link below. We'll dig into strategy, organizing and social media with the best brains in the biz. C’mon out! #bcpoli bcgreens.ca/event/novemb...

I finally got the cold that all my parent friends had 6-8 weeks ago. Thanks a lot Hallowe’en shenanigans! The Other Guise butcher themed Haunted House on Johnson St (extremely spooky already to this vegan) was well worth it.

New Reel up on my special birthday dinner Wild Mountain in Sooke last month. Can I share a Reel here? I dunno so click here: www.instagram.com/reel/DQvGlcx... #yyj #sooke #victoriabc

Influence Boardshop on Quadra in #Saanich needs community support! They recently posted that they are struggling. If you need new gear, helmets, padding, skates or are thinking about holiday shopping for your kids and grandkids, go shop here ASAP! #yyj #vancouverisland #skateboarding #victoriaBC

Halibut House in the Saanich Core makes this tofu and veggie black bean stir-fry on rice for a fresh lunch option Tuesday-Sunday. Their dinner menu is vegan-friendly and they will even make some off-menu favourites like mapo tofu. Just ask! #yyj #saanich #halibuthouse #veganfood #blackbeantofu

Vegan tacos on the Sunshine Coast last month. This were from a spot called Aquí Es Mexico in a tiny strip mall in Madeira Park. Lacking protein and smaller portions but 10/10 on flavour. #sunshinecoast #veganfood #travelBC

Homemade Filipino kaldereta stew on a cozy fall day. This is a vegetable broth, mushroom powder, and tomato based stew either carrots, potato, garlic, peppers, chilis and soy-mushroom mock beef from King’s Vegetarian Cafe in Toronto (Taiwanese imports). #veganfood #filipinofood #stew #soupseason

Still looking for more skilled folks to join the Back End of CFS!

Community Food Support is desperately seeking more Back-End Volunteers to keep the program alive. We deliver 80+ free food hampers to recipients in #YYJ each week from the Quadra Village Community Centre gym, but much takes place behind the scenes beforehand to make that possible.

The local Victoria Nextdoor community is insular and overrun with bike and pedestrian-hating retirees, it is basically an alternate reality. If you are under 60 and have the fortitude, please make an account on that app and stick up for bike lanes and walkability. #yyj #nextdoor #carbrain
