Absolute insanity Dickens Nebraska tornado a bit ago at close range! Right off the iPhone lens spots and all!

Bluesky storm friends - I really don’t want to have to use the bad place for Canadian weather photos/updates. What are your favourite starter lists of Canadian chasers who actively chase/post current photos/footage (rather than reposting forecasts/warnings/etc).

This is VERY very exciting. Very with all capital letters kind of exciting.

humanity is so cooked

The Pope died on Easter weekend and so you know the Conclave tea is gonna be piping hot.

If anyone is looking to get the F out of this dumpster fire and has climate model experience, here's a great (and rare) Canadian insurance company opportunity. Don't have to be Canadian! aviva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

That YYC to YVR view is one I never get tired of. See you soon Salt Spring! @davemason.bsky.social

And then there's Dora. Had some fun this weekend retouching all my prints with my new Lightroom know-how. Don't ask me why it's been 6 years and I still don't have this on my wall

It’s snowing in Calgary. It’s landspouting two hours away. Alberta.

My doctor: I want you to try taking this drug to see if we can help you feel better. Me: researches said drug, sees that side effects include nausea and other GI side effects. My body, before even filling the prescription: HERE, HAVE SOME NAUSEA AND OTHER GI SIDE EFFECTS. We’re starting early!

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ~The Great Gatsby

So what I’m gathering from checking in on BlueSky today is that I should definitely not look at my investments for at least the next year, right?

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

No way to prevent burnout, lament workplaces with minimal staffing and constant illness during an ongoing pandemic.

I just heard thunder for the first time in 2025 and my mood increased at least by ten. Bring on the booms, nature. #yyc #Calgary

Someone decided to show us what we were late on preparing this morning. When you’re 20, breakfast (and the three other meals of the day) are serious business. @davemason.bsky.social saved the day and our lives from what could have been an angry hungry cat.

The whole “millennials are killing xyz” genre was just a cover for the ravages of private equity.

Update:

Danielle Smith's govt in Alberta is "cost-saving" by eliminating food and drink for patients in hospital settings. Her latest cost saving measure is to take away popsicles, crackers, and ginger ale from children receiving cancer treatments. The effort they put into their cruelty is truly stunning.

I want to watch whatever occult detective series this is.

I haven’t been keeping a thread of my read books anywhere this year, but popping by to say that if you’re in need of a book that will make you fall in love with its characters and then rip your heart out over and over again, you should definitely read “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 💙📚

Look, I'm not saying the Canadian polls are wrong at all. I'm extremely relieved at what looks to be a probable defeat for Poilievre. But polls are not the election, candidates still need to earn votes, and voters still need to use their leverage to push for good policy.

SPC is just trolling us now, right? 😂😂

I sent you the war plans that were in the group chat and which you were probably saving for select eyes Forgive me they were juicy and and I was shitfaced

… New Zealand, are you ok? That 7.0 earthquake might have been less than ideal.

When weather nerds and hail dislikers find each other. 😍😍😍 @davemason.bsky.social

the American consumer is interested in absorbing zero pain. the Canadian consumer has already smeared themselves with the fat of a freshly killed bear and made an offering of blood for luck in the coming battle

Sometimes it feels silly to post on BSky about things like shattered bus windows because all I seem to follow here are people posting about the (realistic) end of the world. Chaos, lies, corruption, war, cute broken windows, persecution, Russian agents, lies… it feels weirdly dissonant. 😬

What a Monday. Out for a professional learning tour of Tsuut’ina and our bus fully shattered THREE big exterior windows (outer and inner windows) while it was full of people. That’s a lot of pieces of glass that goes flying when you break that many windows. It was a tree branch/tree. 😬😬😬 #yyc

Listening to radio ads right now is like "Canadians are strong. Canadians are tough. Canadians never back down. Canadians deserve the best. That's why at Bob's Lube Garage, we know your tire lube should smell like poutine and Lake Erie fish,"

The very first decoupling from America we should do is not allow Canadian media to be majority owned by Americans anymore, it would change a lot.

"Sir, the whales are banging on camera." "Please tell me it's not--" "It's humpbacks, sir. I didn't name them that."

We've been receiving a lot of requests for us to answer this crucial question, and we are delighted to attempt to provide you with the information you need as to whether you can read braille with your clit.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Your day has been missing something and it’s these daytime tv screens

Highly recommend a read of this book if you haven’t read it and are interested in the drivers of homelessness.

To celebrate my little piece of good news, I bought some cookies from my favourite bakery (they’re literally beside the specialist’s office) and then promptly dropped them in a puddle outside the bakery. One of the bakers ran outside and gave me a new box. Shoutout to the small kindnesses.
