Frontline workers in BC had no role in this decision. Boycotts that cut hours/wages shift the harm onto workers who can't afford it. We’ve raised our concerns directly with Save-On-Foods leadership. UFCW 1518 stands with immigrant workers & will always defend working people.

Shameful behaviour from Hootsuite, highly recommend cancelling your account and going elsewhere.

At first I was like “oh in Fareinheit? okay, sure” And then he says Celsius and I snorted.

What an absolute beast of a substorm!! 🤯 Thx Mother Nature for your art in the sky & keeping the fog at bay! 😍 📍 Pitt Meadows, BC | 8:45p PST | 20 Jan 2026 #ShareYourWeather #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #GeomagneticStorm @tamithaskov.bsky.social @petervogel.bsky.social

I wish this guy has the day he deserves. For everyone’s auto filters, he’s wearing a Trump 2024 shirt.

Sometimes your dog steps in shit and you just decide “hey well if I need to give her a bath anyways, we may as well go play in the mud puddles before, so it’s REALLY worth it” We had a fun walk but I was not impressed with the steeping-in-poop part of it.

Get a puppy, they said. A dog will be your best friend, they said. They never tell you that a dog can express the most foul substance known to humankind from its anal glands. The most holy ability to love. The most unholy scented ass juice.

You could probably submit a paper about the formation of the Catahoula microplate during the mid-Akitian during rifting and opening of the Sheltie Sea to *certain* journals and it would be accepted...

ACNH UPDATE IS LIVE THIS IS NOT A DRILL HOLY SHIT BEST DAY IN 2026 EVER

A Maple Moment for you: we went for a long lunch walk, and she played in a big puddle for quite a while. She had developed her own game of ‘dig the rock out of the puddle and then roll it back in and dig it out again’ 😂

Update: a hearty go-fuck-yourself to the management at Ubisoft for shutting down their Halifax studio. Supremely uncool. Very anti-worker. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Emergency Pupper Pic Maple says “turn off video autoplay, go touch some grass or snow, be kind to a stranger, pat a dog at your local dog park”

“What did I do on NYE? Oh, I spent 1.5 hours decorating two cookies to make a niche joke that will horrify and delight a variety of strangers on the internet. How about you?”

A hearty congratulations to Ubisoft workers who have successfully unionized in Halifax. 👏👏👏 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Christmas Eve Eve

Eyyyyyy Siiiiix seeeeeveeeeen

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

A joyful Yule to everyone!

Water your tree! Turn the lights off and unplug when you go to bed or leave home! Get a reusable plastic tree! Check your smoke detectors! Sleep with your bedroom door shut! Train your dog to find you when the smoke alarm goes off (I call it the Cookie Noise 😂)!

Need to see more of this.

Day 12 #artAdventCalendar is my #linocut of brilliant trailblazing US #geologist & prof Florence Bascom (1862-1945) 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬⚒️ #histsci who championed women’s education, & used polarizing microscopes for detailed petrographic analysis to show that rocks previously identified as sedimentary were in fact 🧵

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

On this day 36 years ago, 14 people died at a Montreal university because some fragile fucking man couldn’t handle a woman “taking his place” in the engineering program. Male rage isn’t a new problem. Entitled men aren’t a new problem. And women are entitled to every ounce of anger we carry.

Sorry, servers of AI. We are a human-powered organization. #CdnMedia #GenerativeAI

Not too shabby y’all. Not. Too. Shabby.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

So sad this keeps getting shared with the attribution cropped out.

Don't forget all the Indigenous people that volunteered to go to war despite being occupied and treated as second class citizens denied the right to vote.

One on side, the Trump administration is arguing that hormones are "mutilating" when used by trans people. When used by cis people, they are removing all the warning labels and increasing access. Funny how that works. archive.ph/JhbUF

It’s time for James Challenges @desertbus.org Chat. But I’m gonna be honest with y’all and lay it all out. Obviously this year has been rough on everyone, myself included. It’s been a struggle to find the energy for this years run. I know I’ll muster the juice needed for the show, but I’m tired.

It is very important to be effervescent in joy, to ward-off the easy, recursive path of despair.

Last year, @michaelfwehner.bsky.social and Jim Kossin made the scientific case for a Cat6 cyclone. This week, Hurricane Melissa became the 6th storm in recorded history to smash through that threshold, with max winds of 216mph. And conditions leading to these storms are on the rise. Read more:

Every time I post a picture of a seismic signal, I am using #python software. Please read this thread from @python.org (I here have screenshotted the three posts that I think contain what you need to know.) I applaud the Python Software Foundation for taking this stand.

The more we know, the more we know that we don’t know.

When limes are 30 cents each, I feel okay about using half a lime for garnish in my Mai Tai Except it’ll go in the fridge and I’ll use it tomorrow.

I have a sno-cone ice shaver, and all my ridiculous brain wants to do is make chicken broth sno-cones from the bricks of chicken broth in my freezer. Tell me this is a) a great idea or b) a terrible idea.

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.

An interesting one - placer mineral vs mineral deposit.
