"The South Korean naval visit also comes as a South Korean shipbuilder is competing for one of Canada’s largest-ever military procurement contracts." I see this as good news –– & proof that people & countries must re-evaluate loyalties on a regular basis. #trumpism is evil.

Accuracy+Art= Awesomeness

I'm turned off by the money involved. I question, is it really about the sport or the opportunity for billionaires to become trillionaires.💰

nice

Such a great Sunday read from @charlieangus104.bsky.social 🤩 It conjured memories of my my three decades in Timmins (known for way more than Shania, bless her heart)🥰 The Mystery of Bill Barilko open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

I enjoy being taught, thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social "Johnson proposed rebuilding the cities, protecting the countryside, and investing in education to set “every young mind…free to scan the farthest reaches of thought and imagination.”" May 22, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

jeesh –– "Every nation is healthier and safer when all nations are healthier and safer," Anyone listening?

I wonder if tears are like poetry. "Society has a strange list of rules about what is acceptable to show. In many places, even tenderness has to be justified. A person worries about being judged as weak, dramatic, or inconvenient." Crying can be a bridge open.substack.com/pub/gurdeepp...

Father's Day, Mother's Day, Birthday, or any day. I've purchased Jason's art. Beautiful quality, made with heart.

#TGIFlevidrome time. It's the game where you find a short form #levidrome pair based on my (hopefully not complicated) clue. All answers work! Good Luck! "The head golfer bought his clubs at a premium."

Once in a while I love a cold Kombucha. I always try for a local brew. I came across this one today & read this on the can: "Lifting with golden brightness, landing in a soft vanilla cloud - light as a whisper, dreamy as the soaring heart. A sip that feels like the start of something beautiful."😲🎉

The Three Stooges taught me tropes, before I even knew how to use the word. Here @anthonyted.bsky.social examines this aspect of writing in a fun way. I keep hoping he'll come to Victoria BC to give a workshop. thanks Mr.A.🤩 Spit It Out open.substack.com/pub/anthonyt...

Bee Day! Thanks to @petchary.bsky.social for pointing this out.🐝 "For centuries bees and people have shared a close and evolving connection, shaped by the ways communities across the world have relied on bees for food and livelihoods, with bees often becoming part of their cultural identity."

yikes

Living in a condo arrangement can be frustrating at times. Hard to get agreement on upgrades etc. Compromise sometimes feel like a toss of the dice. But a garden project was finally approved & completed today. (see picture below)

I love coming home to find stuff in my mailbox. Today I found an anniversary card from @utoronto.ca. 🤗 They remembered. The big 5 OH!! It can't have been a half century since my graduation with a B.Ed.??? I'm feeling OHHH-ld😉

What does it take for #eldercare? A lot!😲 Just like childcare, vehicles are often involved. My 97 year old special mom has two walkers and a wheelchair. Plus a car that can get her to day-care. (The driver likes it when the day is nice allowing him time to hang out comfortably in the hatchback). 🫡

Ms.G. is here & on substack. I get email updates from @cjpme.org & @codepink.bsky.social –– all voices against the inhumanity shown by #Netanyahu & his band of U.N. sanctioned gangsters. PM @mark-carney.bsky.social has a duty to keep Canadians in mercy-flotillas safe. substack.com/@rachelgilmo...

Hey @kiminthewest.bsky.social – a public request for a private request: any chance you could follow me on 🦋, so that I can DM you?🙏🤓 (nothing solicitous, I promise).

I don't think it's an overreaction to call #trumpism a defiant herald to WWIII. I was newly born when POTUS 34 became Commander-in-Chief to all amurcans. He knew of the destructive power of WWII & warned about his country's growing reliance on military solutions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg-j...

Go Griffs! And now: Go get 'em Habs!

Humility in action impresses me.🫡 "In my own life, I try to treat joy like a lamp I tend, not a spotlight I chase." Walk on Mr P.🤩 @gurdeep.ca substack.com/@gurdeeppand...

Just look who is leading these resistance movements in the time of WWIII. It's you and me. It's global citizens disgusted with their elected people.

I took a few moments free from eldercare with my bride this afternoon. Sat on a bench at Clover Point. Solved every worldly dilemma. Didn't see any orca though. Hope for another day.

Awesome recommendation and essay. Mr.W. is now on my follow list thru Substack.

Read it. Increased my perspective. A great people's history.

I played this for my 97 year old special mom. She went hmmm, "I'm glad I left Ontario."

Awesome. Way to show the way! All of Canada next if @avilewis.ca has his way. vote @ndp.ca
