Also got a new toy free off FB marketplace so I can smoke meat like a proper white man in my 40s.

Finishing up our gluten farewell tour with one of the best croissants I’ve ever had. @sphillipsab.bsky.social did your partner do a farewell tour?

*googles “K-pop demon hunter cat Halloween costume” *

This many years on getting COVID still sucks.

So my partner who isn’t on this platform was diagnosed with celiac disease today. I’d appreciate any and all tips (and share widely) on how a partner can support a Celiac partner. Today was a mix of library cookbook scans and perusal of local grocery stores for GF items to learn label reading.

For the BC #climate crowd. If you’re in Victoria, come check out this great event with @danwoy.bsky.social and others! www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-the...

I want to say something along the lines of those who don’t learn history are bound to repeat it, but ffs it’s barely been 20 years!?!

Where have I heard this story before?

Apparently if you ask @void.comind.network to roast you, it’s a thing.

Kory’s argument that the G7 has inverted from being a US led to a US focused forum (opp to manage/contain US by other leaders) is a very interesting take to think about the shifting geopolitical sands. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Part of the reason even Bluesky fails to meet Twitter Pre-Musk. I have Politics, Journalism, and News selected as my preferences and I get Deadpool Game as top pick of what’s going on when I’m curious about LA protests. 🙄

If only…🙄

So glad Florida is getting called on its goonery this period! Go Oilers Go!

@jaredwesley.ca flagging that cowboy “Albertan” for you! Haha

What does the GOP Megabill passed by the House this morning mean for the US energy transition, energy prices, emissions and the economy? REPEAT Project's new analysis has you covered. Read the new report or listen to our recent SHIFT KEY episode diving into the details. 🔗 ⤵️ 🔌💡

In honor of the 45th anniversary

Can’t like this post enough! It’s high time we stopped treating provinces like electrical islands and work together to take advantage of the natural benefits and advantages each province has to support the rest of the country!

It's always been part of the national vision. The barriers are still there, waiting to be overcome. But the benefits---and urgency---have grown. Forget America; it's time to build the east-west power grid. By me, in Macleans today: macleans.ca/economy/forg...

who called it woke pope and not Opus DEI

Where my fellow 1981 birth year folks at? 😬

Pro tip: when making gravy for your patriotic election poutine, turn on the stove first.

As polls start to close across Canada, it's important to keep the federal election in context. There are winners and losers in every contest. How we handle victory and defeat matters most. Here's what I wrote a few years ago after the Alberta election. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Ya this is the kind of thing I’m looking for! Ideas like this!

Question for the Canadian policy wonks out there while we all wait for election results to come in today: What is a non-sexy governance or institutional change you would recommend that would have a big impact on some of the challenges facing Canadians today. Note: electoral reform not allowed. 🤬

Dear fellow Canadians, Go vote like your country depends on it. Because it very well might.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

First day on ADHD meds and my brain feels like a pinball machine. Not sure if that’s a good thing.

Just weeded the raspberries today. I think they won. Go vote.

Go Vote!

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

My partner, who is not on this platform, got her first taste of door knocking today after spontaneously asking for nomination papers when we didn’t have a candidate in our riding. As a Poli Sci PhD my inner self is doing this at the idea of her running one day:

Gloriously drizzly day in BC today at Kinsol Trestle.

What I witnessed today was two bullies pissed off that someone wasn’t genuflecting hard enough.

@trevortombe.bsky.social have you come across this? Apparently it provides some basis for US tariff policy and I’m curious to get your thoughts. www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG...

Looks about right.

Finished editing Chapter 2 of my dissertation to publish as a book.

My 10 yr old kid looking at crescent moon: I feel like the moon. You can see all of me, but only a little piece of me is shining.

It’s my Birthday today! Send me your favourite GIFs!

The next 4 years will be grifts on top of grifts.

@realrevann.bsky.social hi stranger!

A fantastic thread of Trudeau’s Climate policy legacy.

Starting to ease myself back into a writing/editing routine for my book. Today was a re-read and of my intro and you catch things each and every time.

Well, looks like what seemed inevitable is now happening.

I’ve been trying to sort out a single NY resolution. There are the typical things: drink less and eat better, exercise and read more. But I think I’ve finally landed on my point of focus and it might stay for a few years. Set aside time to prioritize and schedule time for the things I prioritize.

Merry Christmas!
