I can take for granted elements that make a city wonderfully habitable. Worse yet I can forget that an area might not suit me but be excellent for others. I've never used the Harrison Yacht Pond for example, but yesterday I saw sea gulls taking a refreshing bath. Victoria –– something for everyone!

This is the first book about cats that I have ever read. It's a good place to start. Thanks Mr.R.🐈

Re: Door I had a dream about an elevator last night. It was one of those freight elevators with a large sliding outer door, plus an expandable screen door. When I approached, the two doors were open and the elevator space was jammed with people as in a sardine can. There was no room for me, and…

Homo sapiens are proving we don't have all the answers; maybe time to talk to other species.

super duper cartoon🤩

I'll weigh in here Ms.B.. To me the issue is less about age and more about the misuse of power. Communities must develop better systems of oversight so that powerful people can be kept in check.

Thanks for this Ms.B. –– When we think of war, pollution, or inequity as something 'over there' we divide our communities into us and them. LNG is single headed thinking; the objective must not be more capital💰 but more compassion.

Wealth and Power corrupt. It's as plain as a fake tan on a white man's face.

I want the end of my week to be happier so I send out #TGIFlevidrome early to get some chuckles. Use the *clue to solve for a short form #levidrome pair. It just might make you laugh too!🤣 *Clue– The texter's 'please advise' acronym had me turning backwards with hysterics.

awesome work 🧐 –– Truth must be respected.

"But the administration’s attempt to convince Americans to believe them, rather than their lyin’ eyes, doesn’t appear to be succeeding very well." I give thanks to the many who are working to end #trumpism. November 13, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

A @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social notice came into my email box this morning, stressing the need for government oversight of the energy sector. I had to wonder to myself: When will we be able to address environmental concerns again? #trumpism is global.

Here @charlieangus104.bsky.social writes his best essay to date. His comparisons are apt, his research is accurate, his conclusions are chilling. Thanks Mr.A. for being woke to our crisis.🫡 Herman Göring Would Have Loved Mar-a-Lago open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

Awesome cartoon –– there's no escape, nowhere to hide, no use going towards the light –– in a #capitalist world everything has a $ sign.

“It’s not a coincidence that wage hikes have ended during the UCP’s time in government,” said the NDP’s Gray. “This is not a government that believes in paying workers fairly.” There is no excuse. Alberta Defends Having the Country's Lowest Minimum Wage via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

I can't count how many times in this age of #trumpism that I have thought about the prescience of Lewis Carroll. "Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." We're all mad here open.substack.com/pub/deadder/...

Come on folks! History tells us that the world knew about the death camps in Europe & the menace of Hitler. Likewise #trumpism has a known history. Lest we forget. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsS...

They are beautiful AND functional. I got mine before the Christmas rush!!🤗🎅

Parades glorify war. The real deal is found with conversing with a soldier, who can reveal the truth of what facing death is like. Thanks Mr.M. for being willing to work for a better world by preventing the seeds of discord from flourishing.

Part of my observance of #remembranceday was to watch the new documentary about the life of photojournalist Brent Renaud. I thought of the hundreds of reporters who work within the field of discord to bring us hard truth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcee...

Ms.G. is making connections where few are brave enough to dare. This 73 year old is celebrating any advancement youth can make into politics. Fresh ideas are desperately needed! Like proportional representation to name one. @fairvote.ca

I've pulled back on all my travel to amurca, but, with Mr.P. & the election of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social maybe Chicago & New York can still be on my menu.

This is so great! Folks need to be taught that two things can be true at once. Few truths (even gravity) are singular.

Anyone who saw this unfold in realtime will know the truth: #trumpism is all about provocation. It's got nothing to do with fabrication. Reality can't be bent unless we let it.

It's so beautiful living next to the sea.

What it feels like to be a granduncle.

Happy to read of federal funds coming to Victoria. "The playing fields haven’t been refreshed since 2008, and the washrooms are so old, city staff are no longer able to source replacement parts when toilets break, he said." thanks Mr.G. @wgreaves.bsky.social www.timescolonist.com/local-news/f...

Today, those who gathered in peaceful solidarity displaying the white poppy were shouted at as being unpatriotic. Ironic said I, since nationalism and patriotism often lead to war. War only benefits the rich, while killing the innocent. #lestweforget

This is so apt for #remembranceday. War = Death. There is no other equation that matters. #trumpism kills

"...any leader worried about snakes is bound to get rattled." Taking snakes on a plane to the next level is Mr.B. –– let the Jackson-esque swearing begin.
