The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

How do you make friends? Is it also by using books to ask outlandish hypothetical questions? So far, 7-year-olds have given the funniest responses..... but to be fair, we've not yet asked any questions to any 106-year-olds. ( Thanks, @herring1967.bsky.social )

Is there a better sound than someone else using the weed whacker? Yes, but probably only the ocean waves hitting the sandy shore. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

Camping is so much better with a beachwalk. Especially during the golden hour. #reflections

This needs to be the trend of the summer. I want to see 5000 horse gets cake photos by August first.

Some people say 'any port in a storm' while others say 'any shelter from the north winds' and that's how you can tell who lives on the northside of PEI. #OctopusGarden ....hopefully.

You are not alone! Your enough is not embarrassing, your enough is enough, you are enough (one you’ll believe it, hope exists) 💚✨

We are all using our vehicles as greenhouses in this Northside wind, right? #RedneckGarden #UseWhatYouHave

Female birds with confusing names.

Everybody knows you gotta guard your stash. #SharingIsCaring #ExceptFood

I hope you can feel comfortable I hope you can feel safe I hope you can feel understood I hope you can touch the glimmers I hope you can withstand the triggers I hope you can bare the confusion I hope the danger dies down I hope the struggle abates I hope you’ll stick around library friends ILY 🫶🏻

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

Pretty excited for Doors Open Down East today. www.doorsopendowneast.com

If you look closely and watch the Goldeneye's eye, you can see his nictitating membrane (or third eyelid) doing its work a couple of times before the duck dives into the water. Video is slowed down so that you can see things more clearly. #wildlife #birds

I tried to get them all in a row but this is the best I could do #whattheflock #birdoftheday #birds

My niece Maddie Arsenault is a comedian in #Halifax who is one of the comedians part of the Halifax Live Comedy Just for Laughs Showcase on April 24. She's pretty funny!

Loves a beachwalk. #BestSoundtrack

More people try to sell me face serums now than ever tried to sell me drugs when I was a teen.

Pretty sure we can smell the snow melting. 👀 ⛺

The camouflage of Great Horned Owls is pretty impressive. Also, can you see the second owl in this photo? #wildlife #birds #owl

Grateful to have been invited back on the "She is Your Neighbour" podcast to talk about stalking and bystander intervention. They also gave me the space to share my two hot takes : AI sucks and is anti-feminist AND we don't need more survivor stories. We need action.

Sometimes, you need to start your day listening to a Crash Test Dummies CD. #MusicSky P.S. Superman also never made any money, so we're in good company.

our mismanagement of the environment has crossed the point of no return, the dolphins are leaving

Is our website sarcastic? Like our family, yes, sometimes sarcastic. Is our website helpful? Like our family and extended team, it tries very hard to be helpful in a straightforward way. Is our website free of typos & errors? Ha! No, we have errors. (How many of something makes a collection?)

It is almost "pretend you're fast enough to get a photo of an eagle" season! 🦅 #birdwatching #skywatching #CampingLife

Signs of spring, ranked. An older comic. Feel free to argue with my ranking.

the Mamdani $30/hr snow shovel thing is so mindblowing. your tax dollars at work, to enrich your fellow citizens who need it most and immediately improve safety & living conditions for all. and THAT'S what the billionaire class wants you to fear?

At 10am on February 25, 1931, members of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) walked off the job. Highlighting poor working conditions, long hours, and low wages, hundreds of women continued their strike for two and a half months.

Forward.

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

Hailbound (adjective) Mysteriously compelled to wave to passing strangers on a country road, a mountain path, or a remote stretch of water. From hail, to greet + bound, being obliged -The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig #IslandLife

Be as passionate about something in life as a child is over the toys they haven't looked at in 5 years that you're about to donate.

My new fave shirt.

Please don't be fooled by this freshly-wiped keyboard. It is a vessel to The Land of Links, where old hits like "Haven't I been here already?" and "This isn't what I asked for" are seamlessly blended with the new but increasingly-popular, "What in the fresh dung is this AI disaster?"

"There was nothing left."

Idea: have 2026 be a better year than 2025

SNAPPING TURTLES! This is absolutely gorgeous! What skill! 😍🤩🌊🌊

They didn't invent this TikTok trend but they didn't need to participate in it. Your ex blocked you? Leave them alone! Most victims of stalking in Canada are stalked by an ex and it's the most lethal form. Call us buzzkills but there's plenty of fun social media trends and this ain't it.

While we love the ferry and are so confident it is our favorite part of traveling while on it, bookstores hold a very close second place in our hearts. #thalassophile #hodophile #bibliophile #logophile #desiderosmia #EploreNS @kingsbookstore.bsky.social
