I was delighted to attend the @CityOfPoco.bsky.social’s council meeting to receive the #BCHeritageWeek proclamation on behalf of @PoCoHeritage.bsky.social. (My first official engagement since being appointed Vice President 😎)

Fan Expo Vancouver was fantastic! We were Madame Medusa & Penny from ‘The Rescuers’ on Saturday and Joyce & Eleven from ‘Stranger Things’ on Sunday. And Catherine Tate was just as lovely as you’d hope ❤️ @FanExpoVancouver.bsky.social #FanExpoVancouver

Blimey. This’ll be my tenth Fan Expo Vancouver! @FanExpoVancouver.bsky.social #FanExpoVancouver

Don't ignore MY hints

Taking your advice and "sending the nice email" - what a great talk! I love it when people fall down a rabbithole entirely. To add to your collection, I found Wes in his 1948 high school yearbook, when he was president of the art club.

This is a wonderful talk! I love it when somebody is inspired and starts digging.

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re thrilled to announce that the Elsie Gregory MacGill fonds has joined Canada’s Memory of the World Register—a fitting tribute to her legacy as a pioneer of Canadian aviation and champion of women’s equality. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Found a kindred spirit in @janeaugust.bsky.social! www.atlasobscura.com/articles/vis...

Come down to the @pocoheritage.bsky.social museum in Port Coquitlam and meet our duck family! A new addition to the Creatures of Blakeburn Lagoons exhibit 🦆

Does anyone have a good article that explains why not to use AI? Specifically if it addresses the “trends” that suddenly fill FB and IG, like “Ask ChatGPT to create a caricature based on everything you know about me” 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried personally telling people, but I feel like I need backup.

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!

The City of PoCo and PoCo Heritage would really appreciate your vote! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Heritage Week's theme this time is 'Stir the Pot' which looks at how food brings us together. @pocoheritage.bsky.social have invited Cassandra from Cassandra Cake Co to share her story! 6.30-7.30pm on Tuesday Feb 17 at the museum www.facebook.com/events/76371...

Holy shit. I’ve never seen a Kickstarter pledge counter melt before

It’s Groundhog Day! Vancouver Island Violet has made her prediction! Six more weeks of winter! This was confirmed by her mate Phillip who also got in the weather prediction action. Watch here:

Someone said "It's like Canada's Mom just died." And it's true. I'm still crying.

Another Vancouver plaque project is celebrating a big birthday!

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945. City Hall will be lit up 🟡 tonight to remember the victims and in support of all who have been affected by the Holocaust.

Spent the evening with other plaque enthusiasts, celebrating 15 years of Places That Matter (the blue ovals dotted around Vancouver, commemorating the people, places and events that are often overlooked) And got a sticker 😎

VOTE for Inspiring Local Champions! Our exhibit at Port Coquitlam Community Centre is nominated for Heritage BC Canada Awards 2026. Inspiring Local Champions celebrates hometown hero Terry Fox and Port Coquitlam’s history of local champions and community builders. Vote ➡️ https://ow.ly/67GZ50Y0ph8

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Going multiple days, but only cosplaying on Saturday 💎 #FanExpoVancouver

Cosgrove Hall Films Archive exhibition at Sale Library is open to the public! Here's a story we posted earlier: downthetubes.net/forever-home...

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Vote for PoCo's awesome 'Terry Fox: Inspiring Local Champions' exhibit in the Heritage BC awards! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If you're aged 55+ and have found a previously unknown close relative by using DNA testing, SFU would love you to take part in their study! #genealogy

People of Vancouver, BC - have you seen any of these yellow plaques around? I'm trying to find the 100 plaques that were installed for Vancouver's centennial in 1986. I've found 27 still up and 12 that *were* up but have since been removed...

Oh god, I really don't need another clock, but that is sooooo good. Makes me feel like the TV unit has just been rolled into class and/or I'm home sick and tucked up in my parents bed. Either way 👍

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2026 ❤️ My #ArtVsArtist for 2025

Are you kidding me? 🤦‍♀️

The scariest Christmas story: Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, Except for A DRACULA

Thanks for following along with the Box of Delights advent calendar! Wishing you all a very merry Christmas ❤️

The old Punch and Judy man, Cole Hawlings (aka Ramon Lully). Master of old magic, maker of the elixir of life, and 500… 700 years old (Day 24 of the Box of Delights advent calendar)

Delighted to have one of the pilots from my Canadian Aviatrix Project featured on Wikitree’s 12 Days of Elf-mas. Thank you so much to @wikitree.bsky.social’s wonderful elves for finding Lillian! www.youtube.com/live/trnSexU...

Last night BBCFour repeated Mark Gatiss's adaptation of the M.R. James Ghost Story for Christmas 'The Mezzotint', so that'll be back on the iPlayer. Here's that thread I threatened recounting the bits n' bobs I made for it...

I'm often quite Shakespearean with my hand gestures

Is it the Reverend Doctor Boddledale? No, it’s Abner Brown, jewel thief, glee club member, and seeker of POWER OVER ALL (Day 22 of the Box of Delights advent calendar)

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

For all your scrobbling needs, try a caroplane-aeroplane (Day 21 of the Box of Delights advent calendar)

Well, I didn’t have “a front row spot for the Barenaked Ladies” on my Santa list, but I got one anyway! Brilliant night at the CPKC Holiday Train in our very own Port Coquitlam station

Chubby Joe. Maybe mutinous, perhaps cretinous, but I hope his Grand National tip worked out (Day 20 of the Box of Delights advent calendar)
