At this point in Halifax’s years-long crane-fest, I gotta feel grateful for the open space that allows me to see this.

Just finished the Intro to Deep Listening class from the Centre for Deep Listening at Rensselaer. Delish. Hope to continue. Anyone done Intensive 1 or 2? 🎧

This was so very delightful to stumble across at Fort Needham today. #halisky

Commitment to weekly ocean dips going swimmingly (sorry).

Halifax harbour, September sunset from tall ship Silva is highly recommended.

Does anyone else see the superhero in this moth, or am I tripping?

Still thinking about the gorgeous Gale Force Theatre experience at York Redoubt. open.substack.com/pub/rainerfl...

Halifax’s Novalea Market: such summer Saturday sweetness.

34,000 on this petition so far. As I said in the intro I added to mine, “If you can't do even this - let a state know that you can't pretend everything is okay right now by not playing a game with them - what hope is there?” Please join us and send one of these. actionnetwork.org/letters/no-s...

Dahlias in the Halifax Public Gardens.

Manifested a patio table at Ramblers on a beautiful Saturday morning around 10:30am. MY POWER. #halisky

Halisky, that sun tho.

Sappyfest turned 20 in 2025 and it is still sweetening and sparklying. I posted a highlights reel and photo album in substack. #sappyfest #sackville #newbrunswick #music #festival #art open.substack.com/pub/rainerfl...

This place still slaps. #halisky #vacation

Halifax, drop by Smokey Garden on Agricola! Such a great addition to the North End, bringing a Mi’kmaw owned dispensary and healing center, plus the terrific energy of Robin and Brandy.

The sky driving north on Upper Water was so hair raising we drove straight to Fort Needham instead of home. Literally #halisky lol.

And my co-jumpers 😍

About last night’s Grind. #halifaxpride

Halifax Pride Parade 2025 was my fave in a lot of years. Something good is happening with that thing. And so here are a pile of photos. open.substack.com/pub/rainerfl...

Walked downtown through Unity Fest to Kite Fest on the weekend. Halifax is such a funbomb all summer.

Happy solstice! First fire of the year!

Hearing Sook Yin Lee talk about her movie based on a book about her from Much Music era soundtracked (and videotracked) by the music of the time was so very rad for this GenXer. Thank you Flea Pit and Halifax treasure Carbon Arc theatre.

Halifax Tides FC were magnificent on this cold and drizzly night, defeating Ottawa 2-1 with some real stunner moves. Place was packed despite weather, and rocking.

TUES 10th at 8am. Cyclists organize rally as Halifax councillors come out against Fillmore's bike lane motion www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/c...

the prominent zionist “international human rights” lawyer is openly advocating for Israel to bomb an unarmed civilian aid ship in international waters (again)

Spending quality time with this spread today, including setting a supporting crystal grid. #tarot #divination #crystals The She Wolfe deck is still my go to.

Wow had to iron a garment for the first time in so long and it was a trip how familiar it still felt. The thing about riding a bike I guess. Also hey I rarely need to be Presentable anymore, and I’m good with that.

Tronna beers so purdy.

A sangha I love is reading adrienne maree brown’s Loving Corrections. From its teaching on ableism, that disability justice is for all bodies, they linked to this terrific resource from d.justice group Sins Invalid. Enjoy, and spread the word. Hashtag covid btw. sinsinvalid.org/resources/

Games came in woooot

Biggest win from this conclave’s choice for pope, so far, is that we get to keep the name Cardinal Pizzaballa intact.

Northend Halifax today. High vibes.

Reminding me a lot of our Canadian election just days ago. The Donald is possibly useful for something after all.

Enjoying the coffee I always do, in the spot I always do, finishing the day-starting scan of all my onlinery that I always do, in which, today, this enjoyable invitation appeared.

Appreciate these views about the left, particularly the idea of rebuilding with “the working class” not just those who study it.

For any #halisky who wonder about the white cat of Stanley (and nearabouts), goin strong

Searched how to store rope, followed instructions, this is the result. And I am wondering if I’m getting into macrame here kind of?

Baby’s first Luddite Dispatch, from the coolest kids of Brooklyn. 🔥

Here on the day after the 2nd day of nation-wide US protests which appear to be unifying, I’m thinking about the “what if”. What if those who call the US home continue this resistance until they are liberated? That would be realizing the G in maga, ironically. More: substack.com/@rainerfloo/...
