Especially if you’re on an older iPhone like me, you should absolutely give Quiche a try. Somehow it’s way, way faster than Safari for me and has ad-blocking built in!

This is a great mobile browser. I love it v v much and you should all consider giving it a try.

The best browser on iPhone keeps getting better. Seriously, if you haven’t tried it yet Quiche is sooo good. I’m happily paying for the premium version but the free version is amazing as-is (and ad free)!

One could argue that council is in this position because they collectively decided to have a fun time during FIFA instead of holding any meetings. but such are the choices we make

Did you know East and South Vancouver have less tree canopy than the rest of Vancouver? And why does it matter? Shade in urban areas is one of the most effective ways to reduce the impacts of dangerous heat.

So what can we do to better prepare these neighbourhoods for dangerous heat? Increase tree canopy cover in the long term, yes. But temporarily, we can support communities in installing temporary canopies for shade!

I’m moving a motion to do that this week. So that communities have options despite cuts to cooling kits.

worked five years on a book never saw a cent and was owed $15k royalties. They lied to my face until the very moment their email started bouncing back. and cruelest of all my book because it sold out its print run went out of print in the first six months it was available

hi my difficulties continue and i need to pass the hat around to ask for help, if anyone is able to chip in a few bucks, its greatly appreciated e-transfer: [email protected] here is a GIF

I think book clubs should sometimes be all of us getting together and reading books to each other out loud, because I imagine this is the experience everyone must be getting from me live-posting my first Austen. It’s fun to read together! We should do it as grownups!

#BirdSky! Help me identify these three giant birds who are fighting over my beef jerky!

I have confirmed! A lady walking her dog says they're young, from the park a block up, and that the parent she's seen is the biggest fucking bird she's ever seen in her life. That's a raven if i've ever heard of one. So! Five juvenile common ravens!

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

@strflr.bsky.social my stickers just arrived and I wanted to say what a nice surprise it was to receive a hand addressed and stamped envelope in my mailbox! Thanks for the personal touch 😊

I love that this is a real ad. Frank Watkinson is the best 💖

Javi knows. This is spot on. These dynamics, plus shorter seasons/shorter overall runs... it's all bad for television, just bad for the form all around. Anyway, thread:

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social always take a few minutes out of your day to listen to trees.

I hate seeing another bad local day in my industry every six months and feeling the need to write down my thoughts about it. I am so lucky that a lot of people really appreciate what I do. But I am continually sad about what's happened around me.

End of an era. CKWX— News 1130 as I’ll remember it — goes off air. At its peak, Western Canada’s largest radio newsroom. The place I spent bulk of my career before moving into TV. Lifelong friendships made. On our best days we punched well above our weight. A loss for local news.

oh wow a toronto company that was given total control made things worse for people not living in toronto to further centralize things in toronto who could have foreseen that

ARE YOU JOKING?! Dead air on CityNews Vancouver aka NEWS 1130 aka AM1130. Apparently a recorded message said today is the last day 1130 is on air. This is SO SO SO upsetting.

#Rogers, you greedy Dumb MFers. You closing news 1130 and 650? Idiots. Fucking greedy asshole company.

FUCK YOU ROGERS. News 1130 is (was) an excellent local station with plenty of BC flavour. This is incredibly shitty.

Unbelievable. A really tough day for so many of my colleagues and friends at NEWS 1130. Long live radio.

One employee was driving to work when the station went off air. He heard the recorded message saying it was over. That’s how he was informed he lost his job. Some found out when other media began reporting it. These employees deserved dignity and respect & Rogers chose not to provide that.

WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

The smudgy magical twinkles on the surface of water bring my joy. Always… like little water fairies bringing warmth and hope and happiness despite everything… #edendock #canarywharf #london #heatwave #artist #art #painter

Holy shit, News1130?? Fuck Rogers!

Almost done! This project really challenged me in many ways & in the end needed to accept that I can't quite replicate my digital art traditionally yet (acrylics are also the wrong kind of paint, I need to mix my own tempura for future attempts)

I love the Mickey from the same project as that Pete.

OK wtf how is this 16-year-old video real. I refuse to believe this is real it's too uncannily similar to the #Backrooms movie. 🤯

Not that there deserved to be any debate about Lupita Nyongo as Helen of Troy, but this should instantly end all debate on the topic now and forever. Good God. 🙀
