Yo @mcuban.bsky.social could single handedly keep many children from dying or financial ruin simply by buying and dispersing insulin-there's many orgs to help, but he'd rather argue about why it's so hard to treat poors like humans (and still be dodging taxes and filthy rich).

May your day be like this

This time of year is about connection, kindness and community. Wishing you a safe and joyful holiday season from all of us at the Halifax Regional Municipality. And remember – we’re here to help today and all year long. ✨

Yall it's really cold. I know winter people are happy, and I'm happy for you but like.....fuck winter and cold

Having a kid in elementary school is another full time job. So at this point I am: a public servant, a mother, and also some sort of School Manager. Homework, theme days, parent teacher, craft reminders, class donations it's just way too much but there's no choice :)

This elf has no idea how pricey these cans are since Tarrifs and EPR recycling have been introduced. He better have loved every last drop 😂

DT Halifax deep cut: does everyone who goes to Mama Grattis love being abused and scowled at by the owners? I can't even walk in there because I feel like they're going to yell at me for looking

Hi: the elves are coming out tomorrow. Now is your time to remind yourself just because it's not for you, doesn't make you better than those of us that love it. It's part of our whimsy and magic in my family and I won't hear the judgemental jerks about it 🩷

First day in my new office and I saw more people in office than I have combined since I went on maternity leave in 2019

The Halifax Regional Municipality is launching Phase 2 of the North End Complete Streets project, aimed to make streets in Halifax’s north end safer, more comfortable and more accessible for residents. Your feedback will help shape the future of these streets. Learn more: buff.ly/s5nHmDN

Is there anything more grounding than wearing goggles while using a public swimming pool?

I just realized I have 67 followers. I really hate that my brain IMMEDIATELY did EXACTLY what you think it did if you're a parent of a school aged child.

It's finally public that I am switching jobs and it's been a secret I have been dying to share. Specifics aren't important on BlueSky just be happy for me because professionally I have had a real rough few years.

I lost a dear friend over night. Someone I grew up with and met through our shared childhood type one diabetes diagnosis. He was a pillar in our community, a ray of light, and made everything incredibly fun. I feel a lot of anger towards this stupid disease, it seems like every year we lose another

LinkedIn is 9 parts absolutely unhinged and 1 part useful. This is the AI trash that's flooding it now. Imagine a business owner posting this. And no, I didn't click through. There are zero lessons to learn.

If I am ever abducted I will become a content creator on Instagram trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist by having a moody song playing over a random video and saying "comment bliss for me to DM you my course!" You heard it here first. That will be my call for help

Note to self: not a medical emergency, beets were just on sale

I can't believe that person got away with lacing the chowder during the Titanic filming.

I do not understand any of my timeline. It feels like reading a fever dream 🤣 clearly I know nothing about baseball

I would pay good money to have a house visit, or my actual doctor deal with trying to get my kid vaccinated. Random Pharmacies/pharmacists with lines 40 people deep are not helpful for fearful children.

Standing in the kitchen making supper and absolutely slaying some sick moves to the Law and Order theme song on my headphones. Nobody is as badass as me right now.

I want to go fall camping real bad. I wish we had a few campgrounds open all year. I love nature, roughing it, sleeping outside etc etc. but the one thing I need as a 41 y/o perimenopausal woman is a flushing toilet. My fear of outhouses is unmatched.

Every day I age, the closer I get to being Martha Stewart's number one fan girl.

If you think Tylenol is bad, wait til you hear what an automatic rifle does to children's brains.

Do any of the American leaders actually believe their hot nonsense or do they just want to watch people die?

I don't think Darwin knew just how apt his prediction would be in 2025

I'd rather be camping with no service. Woods, quiet, and peace.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

You're welcome for the rain. I booked my vacation for this week so it's gonna be rain.

What are your must do things between Halifax and Cavendish? We are going on vacay soon and want to hit up the best spots!

Monthly statement that CanadaLife has real incompetent processes, doesn't allow their employees to do anything, they have non medical professionals trying to give medical advice and currently have over $1900 of my money tied up trying to decide if they cover the thing they've covered for 16 years

I am on vacation and nothing can stop me from becoming one with my kobo for awhile

I am very sick of chiropractors and "nutritionists" and naturopaths spouting off about GLP-1 use. If you're not an endocrinologist talking to their patient: shut the fuck up, you know nothing. They probably didn't learn what a hormone agonist is in their Google "medical" degree.

Every. Single. Massive. Camper. Is on the 102 going 80 and passing each other today. Long weekend joys.

The roundabouts in sackville at the top of Glendale are like taking your life in your hands every time.

Bring on the rainnnnnnnn. Every drop feels like heaven right now

The babies coming out in force on this fire and woods ban has reminded me that my judgement of the human race losing its social contract of caring for community since masking in 2020, is in fact not unfounded. Humanity is gross

@jxmac.bsky.social I am almost positive I parked next to you this morning which means most of my office days we are parking lot pals! I saw you walk in to the office building. White car Internet fren

What a real luxury to have in our community 👌

So weird that my family of avid hikers (3-4x a week minimum) have been able to find alternative methods of outdoor enjoyment, however there's a lot of real whiney babies saying the government is ruining their lives and they can't go outside...so weird for them. I went fishing yesterday 💁‍♀️

Cheers to a long weekend for both of us 🥰

I wish there was a service where people would bring their chickens to your yard to eat all the Japanese Beatles. My cherry tree is destroyed. Look at the lacy leaves and all those black spots 😭

Question for parents: is there anywhere any of you are letting your young children out to play (obviously with restrictions) Do kids still just show up at homes anywhere to knock and ask to play with friends? Are we supposed to manage their entire social lives now or is this my neighbourhood?

Genuine question: how are you all affording to travel, buy groceries, childcare/camp, eating out, buying clothes etc? I have like $40 to my name after my bills are paid, and I got a parking ticket the other day so none. I don't make bad money...I'm genuinely wondering what I do wrong.

My 5.5 year old just now, out of the blue: "I think after summer I won't do school, I'll just do Beavers. I'm smart enough, you even said so!" I...did say he was smart 🤔

I used to be super career driven and impactful. And then I got rejected for two advancement opportunities for external hires. And COUNTLESS applications/interviews later I have given up on myself in my career. Has anyone been here and what did you do? I have zero desire to do anything.

Working from home during vacation season is wild. You have a question or need a colleague....better off sending a message pigeon

I think Bras should have a cup size but also a weight promise. Like: hey we know you got those dense DDs, the regular DD bras got nothing on this one! Each cup holds up to 30lbs!

My Insurance has decided to not cover dispensing fees for me specifically because they are expensive and they don't think I should be getting my prescriptions monthly. They are not my doctors???? We pay $300 a month for this plan??! Insurance is a fucking SCAM. Fuck.
