Since I had some errands to do in the Annex anyway, I helped @bikewaysto.bsky.social clear the Bloor bike lane from Markham to Euclid. Hope the City gets the rest of the bike lane in Koreatown cleared ASAP! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking

I could have sworn that there was supposed to be a path somewhere under all that snow ... #winterbike #vikingbiking #frostbike

Every cyclist experiences this. In every city. Good infrastructure gives way to scary, uncomfortable, dangerous. It's why people don't ride bikes everywhere. They don't line having the sh!t scared of of them. Also they don't want their 5 & 12 year olds to get killed, nor their grandparents.

Vous avez été plusieurs à nous demander si la scène de monteurs de lignes du spectacle de la mi-temps de Bad Bunny au Super Bowl était réaliste. On confirme que c’est exactement comme ça que ça se passe. Postulez ici pour vivre ça à tous les jours: emploi.hydroquebec.com/job/Plusieur...

When I heard Norman Finkelstein was in the Epstein files, I thought "Oh, fuck. Not another one." .... only to see it's him absolutely lambasting Epstein and his defenders.

#Autowa: I park here now, good luck everybody else.

Kent Street in #Autowa: well-known as a two way street if you're a contractor in a pick-up truck.

Look, I'm thirsting for #HeatedRivalry as much as the next hetero cis dude, but I just cannot stand this anachronism. Dominion City did not introduce the City Seltzer line of products until early 2020, but this scene purports to be from 2014! Anyway ... still thirsty.

And you're not even here...

Drivist in a Tesla fashcar starts to pull out to go the wrong way on a one way street, sees me motioning for him to go the correct way, acknowledges me and then proceeds to go the wrong way anyway. Licence plate looks like "R DAOUD" to me, but I didn't get a great frame of it. #SharedResponsibility

It looks like the Sunnyside branch of the Ottawa Public Library is ready for Squirrel Appreciation Day tomorrow. 📖🐿️ #SquirrelAppreciationDay #Ottawa #squirrel @en.ottawa.ca

WTF? Racist and misogynistic bullshit in a spa survey? This is nuts!

Fascists can go re-immgrate themselves back into the swamp from which they spawned. Ottawa #fashwatch

Obligatory first Canal skate of the year selfie and results post (also it's nowhere near 7.8 km with the creek section closed this season).

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Currently driving around Belize City in Google Streetview and I *really* need to know more about "Sexy Chicken."

I've got a new piece for @canadiandimension.bsky.social about residential school denialism, the Making a Killing documentary, and the politics of Canada's anti-Indigenous industry: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

As someone who lives downtown Ottawa and who was living dead centre of the "Red Zone" where I had to literally show ID at a police checkpoint in order to get to my apartment, a huge middle finger to this and what it's about to enable.

See you all in a year ...

Finally taking the plunge and getting myself into Linux, both for gaming (❤️ Hello Kitty, don't judge!) and productivity as much as possible to get out of the Microsoft ecosystem. There is definitely a learning curve, and a lot of re-learning, but it's also easier than I expected much of the time.

I just had this craaaazy idea: what if OttCity plowed the bike lanes instead of using them for snow storage? Or is that asking too much ...

The ice is soft and slushy under my tires today and the temperature is above freezing; it is *nowhere* near cold enough to be out ice fishing on the Ottawa river. (This why women live longer than men.)

Give him the stick! (Don't give him the stick!)

Masking up in the bowels of the Archives' processing space for @togetherwemask.bsky.social's #12DaysOfMasks (and beyond) -- there's even a really old poster promoting proper use of PPE!

Odds that it's the same school/car/instructor? I mean, I know there's more than one gray Corolla out there, but it could well be ... #autowa ottawacitizen.com/news/driving...

The highest rate on record. It staggers me that no-one in public health seems to be acknowledging that immune dysregulation caused by prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is likely a significant factor in this, and the implications of this concept going forward. abcnews.go.com/Health/flu-a...

Joining @togetherwemask.bsky.social's #12DaysOfMasks challenge from the snowy Rideau Canal skateway in Ottawa, Canada.

Boycott and sanction the United States.

An #autowa #DistractedDriving driver. None too impressed with me recording them doing “nothing wrong”. They missed the light to instead stay and say I was a jerk, that I was causing distracted driving now by talking to them, they were looking up something on GPS which is same if it’s in the holder.

Thanks to some hot tips we went down to Shaw St in Toronto yesterday after a @thebikebrigade delivery and saw repeat instances of bike lanes used as dumping grounds for snow 1/3

Whole wheat and soy "okara" (the leftover solids from making soy milk/tofu) loaf. #BreadPosting

Hey @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social ! Heading into the grocery store in my CAN99 because I’m science literate and listen to folks living with #LongCovid who warn us that we don’t want that shit. Pretty easy to protect myself and others by being #OneOfTheTwo

Hey Jon, Jag here. I'm #OneOfTheTwo people masking because I need my health to work and to do my hobbies. I also have a partner with existing health conditions that would be greatly worsened by COVID and other viral infections. Hope that helps!

Hear ye, hear ye - a section of the Rideau Canal Skateway opens tomorrow morning at 8:00! A great option for New Year’s Eve! Somerset Avenue to Bank Street bridge.

For no discernible reason whatsoever, this driver decided to pull off the road to drive on the sidewalk in front of the Centre Slush Puppie in Gatineau. She didn't stop to let someone out (not that doing so would make it okay) or anything. And we're supposed to Share The Road with these people?

Too much post, not enough flexi.

Me following everyone that posts #OneoftheTwo so that I feel less weird

the #oneofthetwo hashtag is making me genuinely emotional. it's so powerful to see our community when it so often feels we are standing on our own proud to be out here #saltingthevibes with so many powerful, brave, beautiful people 🥹 (also making me want to make more mask chains!)

#OneOfTheTwo and one of the many Jon Stewart mocked this week. COVID took my job, my voice (I was a classically trained mezzo soprano), for a long time my ability to read. I don’t want to invite it in again. Attitudes like Stewart’s stigmatize, make it hard to socialize or exist in public.

I’m proudly #OneOfTheTwo who Jon Stewart mocked this week. I can’t remember a single day in my life where my post-viral issues weren’t present. I’ve known what a lingering virus can do and I’ve been trying to warn folks for nearly 6 years that, “you don’t want this.” I’m protecting my baseline.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Not sure what your problem is, Jon Stewart. When smart people wear masks, there's more strangers' aspirated mucous and saliva for *you* to enjoy. Don't worry about us wearing respirators, chum. Just get in there, get yourself some of that sweet hot flying spit behind your necktie. "Mfffff... AHHH!"

#OneOfTheTwo *and* #TwoOfTheTwo that Jon Stewart was mocking. We mask in public because COVID is real and my partner cannot afford any risk to her health and because I protect my comrades (wildfire smoke is also increasingly a real part of everyday life). #SaltingTheVibes

also #oneofthetwo make 2026 the year of mind your own damn business
