The Lunar New Year lanterns are up in the West End #vancouver #canada

Very enjoyable post and replies! 🎶 🇨🇦

Some people post beautiful pics and then add about 23 hashtags. Why? They just clutter the post and make tone pic harder to appreciate.

🍽️🍓 #cooking #preserves I got 🍀 & bought these beautiful strawberries to make low sugar jam. Tell me if you have any experience using this Pomona’s Universal Pectin? I’ve been using Certo Liquid Pectin for years w/ excellent results. It’s a struggle to limit sugar in my diet. Anyone?

It feels dumb to even post frivolous things in the current climate, but here’s this week’s donation to the community pantry at the coffee shop. A thing I personally think we need to see more of: walking bags of brownie chunks. These particular ones are peanut butter chocolate chip. 🥜 🍫 🍽️

A very mild and pleasant afternoon here in Vancouver, BC.🇨🇦

We only have until February 3 to get to 10,000 signatures. We're at 8,817 as of this morning. Please, Canadians, share this with your followers and if you haven't signed, please do. Thanks. 🇨🇦

I’m a proud Canadian, not a bot, not a troll. A bunch of maple magas are appropriating our 🇨🇦 flag now, just like the covidiot convoy did, to advertise they wanted to have sex with the PM. I think about removing it from my bio often but it feels like I’d be acquiescing and I won’t do that. ✌️ ❤️ 🇨🇦

Some Canadians (like me) have a flag in our bio so we can find other Canadians and be found by them. There are things we need to discuss, like buying Canadian products 🇨🇦

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

There’s a giant amount of bad stuff right now. So here’s a Canadian man @glengrambo.bsky.social outside in his bathrobe and parka with a windchill of -37C. He’s been out there photographing for a couple of hours. ❤️

Kale & Pasta Soup from Something from Nothing by @alisoneroman. Brothy pasta, tender kale, and a bold cilantro-scallion-garlic topping with lemon. Simple pantry soup that tastes alive. #food 🍜🍽️ #SoupSeason #AlisonRoman

Even they are useless. Where are they? Any Dem worth a vote should be IN Minnesota leading those protests

This should be more than enough for everyone to boycott the World Cup.

We had family visiting this weekend. Two members (different families) are planning trips to the US. One is “torn,” but…(reasons to go). The other, when challenged, said she “fully intend[s] to use [her] white privilege.” We are DISGUSTED 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

I'd switch for sure.

A lot of self described Christians seem to be banking on there not actually being a hell.

Another lovely sunset over the lake. This time it’s -30°C, but the wind has finally calmed down leaving snow drifts in its wake.

For those who don't know, remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations. I took this photo today in SASKATOON within hours of the ICE remigration Gestapo executing another person in the US. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

A delicious and much-enjoyed cake ☺️

🍽️ 🍜 Baking this cake today for my BIL’s 40th 🎂. Will post pic later with finished product. www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/choc...

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Don't give WestJet any ideas. #cdnpoli

“'What did we learn from the Holocaust? We have to act and we have to resist,' [Rabbi] Tracht said, running out of breath as the car turned the corner. 'If I’m not going to act and resist now, then I shouldn’t call myself a rabbi and I can’t be a proud Jew.'" religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Every day when I open up Bluesky, and no matter how many Canadians I try to follow, it’s Trump this and Trump that ad nauseam. Today it’s Carney Carney Carney and for that alone—never mind his brilliant speech at Davos—I am grateful 🙏

#Canada please watch. I promise it will be the best investment of time you have ever made. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

I read this as a potato chip and then started to become confused as I read on 🤪

Fresh hellebore flowers on a mild* and misty #MagentaMonday morning 🌱 #Bloomscrolling #GardensHour *mild for January anyway

🥜 Golden layers of crisp pastry brushed with butter, filled with lemony walnuts and cinnamon, then soaked in warm honey syrup. Baklava balances crunch and sweetness with a touch of citrus and a lot of heart. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Baking #Bakesky #Recipe Click for recipe 🍽️🍜👨‍🍳🐝🦋

I just hand fed a prawn to my tuxedo cat who is curled up on my cashmere sweater shelf, so you could say he’s a lucky boy 😄

🍽️ 🍜 Oh my gosh, looks so delicious 😋

Hello #SilverTrunkSunday

Pretty close to a #perfectperch imo #birdoftheday #birds

A boudoir photo for what’s left of #Caturday 😻

Northern Cardinals in my backyard yesterday afternoon! #birds #birding #nature

Greetings from Kyiv. Today, I walked to the Dnipro River (still frozen). Even with little heat and electricity, Ukrainians still find joy in life.

A beautiful pair of northern cardinals in my yard. #birds #birding #nature

As someone who's about to redo her will and POA (at 61), I totally agree with this idea of "living documents." My previous will doesn't reflect my current life and in 10 or 20 years, things will likely have changed again. But meanwhile I know that if something happens, my wishes will be observed.

I have to share this as it is my favourite breakfast to have a few times a week. Cinnamon & blueberries are great but even better is cardamom & strawberries. *chef’s kiss* Make a double batch. Trust me. 🍽️ www.allrecipes.com/recipe/24425...

This is fantastic: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I just had to pull out my phone while stopped to get this shot. Check out first the painting on the truck followed by the creature in the rear view mirror

Meanwhile, in Vancouver...

OMG, might we actually be able to expect SUN ☀️ tomorrow?!

A short video of my Great Gray Owl friend keeping an eye on a passing raven showing how far they can turn their heads (270 degrees). You can also hear it clacking its bill as a defense response. *sorry for the shake and my breathing. This was handheld using my 600 mm lens on a windy day. #birds 🌿
