Hey Halisky. If anyone has an old monitor they want to get rid off, ours just died. It was third hand to begin with, as was the pc. Anyway, if you’ve got one that still works, we’ll take it off your hands. And we’re not picky!

Checking the NS Power outage map. Currently 34 customers without power. If you're one of them, you have my sympathy, but wow, I didn't expect such a low number.

Good morning @rastasack.bsky.social! How's the weather where you are?

Look at all those bikes in the snow. Bikes can be winter transportation.

If you're feeling unhappy, have you considered, maybe you don't have enough worcestershire sauce in your life?

What did you do with your precious free time that wasn’t doom scrolling or reading/watching the news today?

Fantastic community support for Preeti! Special shout out to Simply Asian, a family run restaurant in Highfield Park. They donated 50% of last Saturday's sales to Preeti. I've never eaten there, but I will try them out soon. #SupportLocal

Guess what #halisky / #booksky ! We’re having a party to celebrate Ellis on Guard at @woozlesbooks.bsky.social and you’re invited! Cc: @secondstory.bsky.social @picturebookseh.bsky.social @writersfedofns.bsky.social @canscaip.bsky.social

Who remembers "I'm Just a Bill"? How things have changed. I think we need a song about laws being made by Executive Orders. So much more efficient than the whole debate and vote method they used to have. Paging @accordionadam.bsky.social

My power is back on and my driveway is clear. No power in Eastern Passage so grandbabies are coming here to hang out. How's everyone else making out?

I've got my Bridge Run medals that were handed to everyone that crossed the finish line. Let's put a parcel together for him.

I walked to my sister's house today. After this very short walk I can confirm, many people were doing exactly this. Also, at least one generator was being dusted off and prepped. Full confidence in NS Power outage there. "CHARGE YOUR PHONES, CHARGE YOUR LAPTOPS. ORDER YOUR CHINESE FOOD."

This Canadian appreciates and supports the people of Minneapolis and their Somali community, and hopes their fighting spirit will be infectious and help topple the fascist regime threatening their own country, Greenland, Canada, and the biosphere.

@msvugraduate.bsky.social @unionmaidns.bsky.social @halifaxbloggers.bsky.social @moneyandmentalhealth.org @annaquon.bsky.social @tammyjfrcowbay.bsky.social This one is a very important read worthmatters.blogspot.com/2026/01/some... Please Draw attention to this.

Halisky you probably heard about the pedestrian being hit by a car in Eastern Passage this morning. Preeti is my grandbaby's daycare teacher, and GB loves her. Preeti's parents are in India and want to come to support her while she recovers. If you can, please consider giving.

Interesting. I wonder what we'll get on the waterfront?

lots of stock ready to go for this Sunday!

For me, the sound of scraping ice off the windshield, is what other people think about fingernails on a chalkboard. I may not get over this until lunchtime.

Teach your children how much laundry detergent to use, lest you end up on a Sunday evening with literal buckets of bubbles and a bathtub full of soapy items.

Is anyone else watching Mr. Mercedes? Can't beat a Stephen King thriller.

Is this true? "QR codes are often called barcodes these days." I have never called a QR code a bar code. They are completely different. Am I the odd one out?

It must have been windy. There's crap in my backyard that doesn't belong to me.

I always tuck mine under my pillow. Grandbaby napped in my bed on the weekend. While she was reorganizing the bed to get comfy she found them and was so confused about why they were there. I thought everybody tucked them under the pillow. Now I have to question everything I thought I knew.

I'm just reading a feel good story about the kind people in Gander, NFLD and this pops up on my screen as breaking news. You would hope ICE and USCBP would restrain themselves for at least a day or two, but nope. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Do you wear the same pyjamas for several nights or do you wear fresh ones each time? If you wear them again, where do you put them during the day?

2025: “What a year, huh?” 2026: “Hold the goddamn beer.”

Last month the Ubisoft studio in Halifax unionized. Now this, which the company claims has nothing to do with tbe recent unionization. Oh yes, we believe you.

Hiding under a blanket with Grandbaby #1 today: GB1: We should hide somewhere. Me: We are hiding. GB1: Oh, I forgot.

Do I follow any rock tumblers on here?

“Let’s not call it deregistration, let’s call it a death sentence  —  that is exactly what it would be for the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, MSF Executive Director, as Israel moves to bar nearly 40 aid groups under new registration rules. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...

Denying medical assistance is unacceptable in any circumstances. Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organizations from providing services in #Gaza and the #WestBank, #Palestine. https://ow.ly/XQwE50XR5OE

Hey @glutenhatesally.bsky.social and @cptfuzzy.bsky.social is everything ok? We haven't heard from either of you in a while. I hope you're just busy with the new house and enjoying the season with family and friends.

Well that's a wrap. Happy New Year to all my bluesky friends. We may have never met in person but I feel a connection and I appreciate every one of you.

Since I didn't plan anything, I popped out, grabbed a few supplies and put together a charcuterie. Not a bad looking display if I do say so myself.

@dickyfield.bsky.social welcome back.

Stopped for a quick visit and the signature cocktail was served.

Happy Festivus everyone! Time to get out the pole and air your grievances.

The Disability Rights Coalition in NS took the provincial government to court over this exact issue and won. It took a long time to wind through the courts, but now, Nova Scotians with disabilities can't *legally* be forced into hospitals or institutions. 🧵

Got me right in the feels.

I'm hanging out at The Bonfire on Robie St for a bit if anyone wants to join me. I brought board games because I thought they were doing that tonight. I think it's technically only for Christmas Day. Ah well.

Explaining to a coworker why I was yelling no, no, no while I was alone in my office today. "Because I want my computer to do what I want it to do, not what I told it to do."

Times a'wastin. Get your tickets before it's too late. Great local prizes.

Two beautiful services for Christmas Eve. We look forward to sharing this special time with you. #halifaxchurch #christmaseve #communityjusticespirit #halifax

Yup

Happy Christmas story from my neighborhood: Someone posted in the community group asking for Christmas help. People recognized the name as the local crossing guard. The next morning there was a lineup of parents and children with gifts, and a traffic jam of people stopping with gifts. Santa is real🎅

The Brown University shooter rented a car in Boston, changed the plates, and abandoned it in New Hampshire. The police were able to locate it quickly. I have trouble finding my car in the Costco parking lot.

The power went out at work, which was actually a good thing since I had been there more than 12 hours and it forced me to leave. It's not showing up on the outage map, but it's definitely out. Anyway, I would have turned the lights out if I knew which ones were on.🤷‍♀️💡

Looks like power is out in Bayers Lake. If you had shopping planned, check with the stores before you head out.

Have you had these candied cranberries? So simple to make and so delicious. I think I have to make more.
