My chive hedge on the #allotment is coming into flower! The bees absolutely love it. 🐝🌱

it's crazy how we've actually gotten worse since covid. we lived through the biggest pandemic in a century and were immediately like "let's leave or defund every organization which might be able to help"

Just tried GIMP for the first time to scale a PNG image. It worked really well. It's open-source with a GUI similar to Photoshop: www.gimp.org

978 days left of Trump. 1116 days left of Doug Ford. 518 days left of Danielle Smith. As of May 17, 2026.

Well turns out Dandelion jelly is delicious 😋

Iceberg at my town (Logy Bay), today…along a section of East Coast Trail. #iceberg #trail #hike #Newfoundland Canada.

Sound up for some duetting loons on a glassy marsh. Such a beautiful evening for a walk despite the chill. #birds

This gave me chills. Watch.

You can stand by and do nothing, or you can demand sanctions on Israel. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

My friend made a logo for our website and I just added it today. heritageadvocacy.ca

🧵 I just read Eira Tansey's short article, "Environmental Impact and Digital Preservation and here are some key points: #archives #library 📚 www.dpconline.org/docs/dpc-tec...

I thought i missed the bloom time for orange honeysuckle (Lonicera viliosa), but there it was in the hazelnut bush, blooming away #Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSpring #BloomScrolling #SeattleParks #RavennaPark #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW

Everything he touches he destroys. Wth this renovation of the National Mall pool, he hired non union workers who are doing shoddy work, releasing toxic chemicals into the air, and the budget has over run by $12 million. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“Donald Trump has moved to leave the World Health Organization (WHO), which Psaki calls “an absolutely essential institution.” The US contribution to WHO is $130m – roughly equivalent to the Pentagon’s recent spending on lobster and steak, she noted.“ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately chatting with WordPress “happiness engineers.” Maybe they need to be unleashed on this whole unhappy world.

Here's the United States Ambassador to Greece, doing her best to show the world that in 2026 satire is redundant:

Doug Ford is seizing control of Billy Bishop Airport and Mark Carney won’t stop him. He wants to privatize Canadian airports. The NDP will always work to keep public infrastructure serving people, not private investors. youtu.be/nuXNHd1Cue8 Join us. ndp.ca/stop-billy-b... ndp.ca/stop-reprend...

Are we ready for another pandemic? I don’t think we acted on lessons learned from the last one, and defunding the WHO and USAID has not helped. www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

Like @mychal3ts.bsky.social writes, “The library is always here for you." That's why we're committed to being here for our libraries. This year, we're adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding to our city's three library systems so they can better serve New Yorkers.

A much better protest was also held today in London. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

What if this headline read: Canadians forced to demolish own homes to make way for US theme park? It is absolutely outrageous and unforgivable even without changing the wording. SANCTION ISRAEL NOW. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

The Liberal government’s plan to cut door-to-door delivery at Canada Post is absolutely unacceptable. It’s an attack on the rights of all those who rely on this service—especially seniors and people with disabilities—as well as the postal workers who provide it. (🧵1/3)

Chief Allan Adam on Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'undemocratic': "It's a good win for Canada, it's a good win for Albertans. It is a democratic process because that's what the Constitution is there for."

The dangerous separatist agenda just hit a wall in court because First Nations fought back. Thank you to Indigenous leaders & communities for defending Treaty rights and the Constitution. You cannot threaten to break up Canada while ignoring Treaty. The UCP need to adhere to the court decision.

Spain’s public broadcaster RTVE boycotted Eurovision 2026 for the first time since 1961 over Israel’s participation. RTVE said: “Eurovision is a contest, but human rights are not. There is no room for indifference. Peace and justice for Palestine.”

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

When I was a kid, I remember waking up in the morning, hurriedly getting dressed, and running outside as fast as I could, sometimes barefoot. I wish I could get that feeling that propelled me out of bed every morning back again.

Remember that earlier Bonnie Henry said the 4 Canadians had no known direct contact with the people who fell ill on the ship, and they were considered "lower risk because of the location of their cabins on the ship and the activities they were engaged in."

Not a metaphor. Canada literally built a bridge over a divide to enable trade with the USA. And the USA is saying "No" to that bridge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

8/ None of these giant changes make our country more secure, independent, or stable. None of them directly address the cost of living crisis. All of them promise corporate welfare for the billionaire class, and more hardship for the 99%.

3/ Meanwhile, renewables met 100% of global demand growth for electricity last year. The rest of the world is racing ahead on clean energy, building the economy of the future.

4/ The Liberal government is taking us backwards, locking us into more pipelines, more fossil fuel dependence, and more handouts for some of the richest corporations on earth.  An industry expected to make $90 billion in profits this year alone does not need more gifts from the public.

For anyone who still thinks Carney is playing 3D chess: Who gets to talk to Carney? Natural resource lobbyists, not environmentalists Analysis of Carney’s first 100 days show oil & gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

Journalist told NPR yesterday that people in hospital are dying, and medicine is going bad because it can't be refrigerated. And people are losing weight because they're not eating. THIS DOES NOT NEED TO HAPPEN.

Meanwhile in Israel... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Doug Ford is killing ON healthcare, nurses laid off. ottawacitizen.com/news/ontario...

Saw a rather disgusting example of Doug Ford using our money for propaganda. He touts banning safe injection sites from being near playgrounds. Since he closed them all, the playgrounds *are* the injection sites now and they are not safe. #ONPoli

1/ There’s nothing more Canadian than public health care, and nurses keep it running.

No worker should be forced back to work when they’re standing up for their rights on a picket line.

"Almost 200 former senior Canadian diplomats are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose “robust” sanctions on Israel over deteriorating conditions in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon." www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art... #cdnpoli

"Bill C-22 also has run into fierce opposition from civil liberties groups and law professors who say it would open the door to serious privacy infringements" Signal and other companies to leave Canada if this ill-conceived bill is passed. This government just runs on pure hubris.

Doug Ford is trying to kill us.

Just don’t go to the US for any reason. Spend your money here in Canada and lift us all up. 🍁

Every day there are vehicles blocking bike lanes. Every day. And they're only going to be a "minute". Drivers get to put cyclists in danger every day with no consequences.
