The last time Nova Scotia, southern NB & PEI saw a substantial widespread rainfall was 2 months ago, June 7-8th, with 25-40+ mm. This departure from average map *includes* that rain & yet the deficit estimate over the past 60 days is still nearing or exceeding 100 mm for many. #nswx #nbwx #halisky

Today I’m replacing twitter with Bluesky. Twitter isn’t what it was, but crucially the owner is part of a government that is waging economic war against Canada. I think Halifax should ditch twitter too (thanks @lecwhite.bsky.social for starting that process). O’Canada.

Such nice people to talk to :) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I’m new to BlueSky and wanted to introduce myself. I’m an artist living in Nova Scotia who loves to paint landscapes in an impressionistic style. I work mostly in acrylic and gouache. Below is a sampling of some of my recent works. #originalart #acrylicpainting #impressionism #landscapepainting #art

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports: www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

I've been hearing about a lot of crime lately in Digby. I don't remember it being this bad when growing up in town...in fact neighbours used to keep their doors unlocked. I was speaking to my colleague from the South Shore and she said she noticed the same thing happening in her hometown.

I voted yesterday at my returning office. A worker told me there are a lot of people who are confused as to where their polling station is to vote on election day...Something I didn't know is that you can always vote at your returning office in your electoral district on election day too!
