So tonight I took my 77-year-old motherto her second drag show, called Make America Gay Again featuring Miss Conception, in Puerto Vallarta. It was a blast.

Ban us from the Olympics. For real. Fucking ban us. Put your foot down. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I think the couple next to us at dinner is gonna be divorced by the end of the year. Or sooner.

I’m in Puerto Vallarta for the week and I think this resort is at least 80% Canadian guests. And one dude in a Harris-Walz hat.

Just hit a really rough patch of turbulence and regretting that I just re-read *that* scene in The Long Game last night.

Heh love the smirk on the dude to the left. But yes, go read (and watch) Heated Rivalry!!! @erinbraincandy.bsky.social @loxy.bsky.social

this is not a bit: Mayor Mamdami live on tv just said the public library is making Heated Rivalry available on ebook and audiobook for the snowstorm

Kiara worked at the credit union in Dawson Creek. She helped us with my father's estate just a couple of months before she was murdered. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

thank you crave canada for this important data update slash reassurance that i’m normal

Welcome to another edition of “questions my mom asks me during a visit…” First up: “What is catfishing?”

re: Hootsuite, don't forget what happened last time they tried to work with ICE back in 2020. Those fuckers fired the person who spoke up against it. vancouversun.com/business/loc...

Hootsuite is working with ICE to support their "social listening", but it's Hootsuite that isn't reading the room. Despite the reaction to learning they are working with ICE, Hootsuite doubled down during an internal all-hands call on Thursday. Gift link: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0bde79a...

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.

They made a movie version of The Love Hypothesis?!?!?

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show. Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

At the Canucks game and one of the actors from Heated Rivalry is here and let me tell you I have never heard my wife squeal like that

STOP IT. And he took off the Canucks jersey to show off his Scott jersey 😭😭😭 (not complaining about him removing the Canucks one 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️)

The Canucks showed the Skip kiss on the arena center screen, then flashed to Robbie sitting in the crowd. Robbie rose and ripped off his special pride jersey to reveal 🥁🥁 a Scott Hunter #21 Admirals jersey underneath. (I actually love this more than LIFE, hear me!) 😍😍 #HeatedRivalry

This boggles my mind. The city doesn't think it has to pay its own employees enough to live in the city.

Tumbler Ridge hasn't had an ER in the evenings and weekends since September. The town was supposed to get 2 ambulance to drive people 100 km to the next ER. But those ambulance aren't always staffed. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A loving reminder to everyone but especially journalists to please use Alt Text on images.

Hootsuite has been pursuing business with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the United States, more than five years after employee backlash forced the Vancouver tech company to cancel a contract to provide social-media management services to the agency. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

There are others like us @loxy.bsky.social @erinbraincandy.bsky.social. What do we do? 😏

Somewhat related: Kim Meylemans will be racing wife Nicole Silveira in Olympic skeleton in about three weeks. They’re both lovely people, it’ll be great watch!

Especially because Rainbow Rowell was mentioned in the "special thanks" credits for Heated Rivalry and apparently is a friend of Jacob Tierney, someone really needs to pitch the Simon Snow books to a streamer.

Oh My God

Hi, bisexual romance writer here to tell you harrassing real-life bisexual actors is a shit thing to do and people need to learn some goddamn boundaries. (This post is about Canadian treasure François Arnaud who’s been really doing some emotional work as an out queer dude on the PR circuit.)

Oh I LAUGHED

Update! They've now postposed it all until Jan 29. Let's see if it goes a little smoother then 🤷‍♀️

Guest dies at Cypress Mountain ski resort in West Vancouver

And now if you try to open a new Parks Canada reservation window it says the website is "down for maintenance" but meanwhile the window you opened an hour ago is still just sitting there, trying to load.

Parks Canada just posted this rather useless response on facebook:

Trying to book a Parks Canada reservation this morning

Another year, another camping reservations debacle. One year there's a queuing system, the next there isn't. This year the Parks Canada reservations page won't even load. Surely they are prepared for tons of traffic at 8am on the day bookings open?

I love* how trying to book a camping spot at Pacific Rim National Park through the Parks Canada website is harder than getting Taylor Swift tickets. *by "love" I mean I absolutely hate this

Is the Parks Canada reservation system borked for everyone on opening day or is it just me?

Friendly reminder that if there is text in your image, your alt text ought to be a word for word transcription of it. If that text was important enpugh for you to screengrab, it's important enough to make it available to everyone. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A JOURNALIST.

I love this so much.

My mom has these barely-used dishes from the 1960s or 1970s probably. Anyone know if they’d be microwave safe?

People think I’m exaggerating when I say this, but I have absolutely no idea how to access ChatGPT. I don’t know if it’s an app, a website, or software that I have to download. I don’t care because I’ll never use it. But the people that think it’s universal have no idea how many people are like me.
