Why are you allowed to legal turn left in so many places downtown still? Why does anyone think driving is enjoyable? Get me back on transit. (I have an immensely heavy box to bring in or I would never be in this Evo)

I live in ground-oriented housing now and please, put the scooters in front of my house. Put a Mobi station. Put a Modo. Put anything but absolutely free parking and unmonitored parking. There aren’t even permits yet in my new neighbourhood - please add micro-mobility or car sharing, please!

Again I am dying not to drive. I don’t want to drive. If you make spaces for all it gets people like me off the roads and less traffic for the people that want to drive.

We mock the iPhone sock but I still have 4 of the 5 socks from my old iPod and I use them all the time. Square reader? Sock. Portable phone charger? Sock. MacBook remote? Sock.

Now that I own a deep freeze, I need someone to overnight me from Edmonton a cooler of frozen Remedy Cafe dahl immediately please. It’s the only one I want, nothing else hits quite right.

This public hearing does not make me think any differently about public hearings - they are still a horrible format where people can hijack them and council isn’t even paying attention, even when I agree with the speakers for once.

As a person who owns property, please absolutely raise the property taxes and please push back against astronomical and unnecessary in every way police budget increases. Thank you.

I’ve got so many whelms that I can’t even begin to manage them, so I’m just tucked in bed rewatching Ted Lasso, once again.

The project timelines are already abysmal, may as well make them worse. I’ve waited almost 12 months now for comments on a pre-application in Coquitlam. A pre-application. Can you tell I am tired of the red tape of my job on all ends?

Ya no wonder our stock price is plummeting, you fired everyone that allows us to do our jobs locally, moved them to useless overseas labour that doesn’t even work a single overlapping hour with me, and expect me to do 20x the project administration. Kick rocks.

I hate this fucking place.

I know I choose to take this Hastings bound bus, but I could do without the man yelling misogynistic things violently to start my day.

"why is everything a trunk or treat now. nobody trick or treats anymore" maybe it's the giant useless trucks that seem to intentionally limit the vision of the drivers allowing them to mow over pedestrians.

The turn signal in my Uber is in sync with “Paint It Black” currently playing in said Uber.

The Halloween Evo voice was deeply jarring and unexpected this morning. Fun, but one of those routine things you tune out until it’s suddenly a vampire.

Nothing is more indicative of why I don’t have any faith in society, nor that people are generally in any way aware of the impact of their actions on others, than people listening to things on their phone on public transit WITHOUT HEADPHONES.

The number of empty store fronts and on pause tower developments is sure screaming end of the bubble to me. May we pivot to cool artist spaces like Seattle is doing soon.

I cannot wait until the 99 is a train, 15 years too late. The amount of sitting stuck in traffic these buses do while stuffed like sardine cans is wild.

Who is it town with a huge motorcade?

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

The Traders Joe cashier gave me the cute purple Halloween tote for free, best day ever. Had to promise my boyfriend I would go donate the excessive pile of tote bags we accumulated from all the corners of our homes when we were moving in together. Fair trade.

Now this is how you title a fundraising email, @movementyvr.bsky.social Go donate to Movement to spite Bob Mackin’s insufferable claims that young caring people who can barely afford to live in this region are really just developer shills rolling in pools of gold coins.

Did you know Waterfront just keeps the keychains in stock now without giant lineups? This is the best day.

ready to crime

It’s an exceptionally weird Vancouver thing that when you are on a structured walking tour event, random people walking by will inevitably just join in. I have never had this happen anywhere else. This almost always happens here. Today two random people have joined our conference (with big badges).

Not be forever questioning who would ever take the 7 from Nanaimo Station to Dunbar now taking it down Nanaimo to Kits…

Skytrains: so good. North-south trolley buses: the bane of my existence.

Rewatching Ted Lasso and it is absolutely as perfect as every other time I’ve watched it. What a perfect show in this terrible world.

Is this forest fire smoke or is there some kind of fire in East Van? And also how do we find anything out in real time anymore without Twitter because this site just doesn’t have the density.

It’s one think for a strike when the corporation is making massive amounts of money and not sharing equitable wages with the workers, but what are you supposed to do when a company is constantly almost bankrupt. What is the resolution here?

For the first time in my entire life I have mail delivery to my front door and it is immediately taken from me. I am cursed. (This is fine, community mailboxes are great because they safely hold packages. Also I was clever and placed my girl guide enrollment order a month ago.)

I cannot wait to watch Jon Stewart’s out of retirement Daily Show Kimmel segment tonight. Let’s go.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Bobcaygeon in the Kawartha’s hits different, especially on a boat, despite the last time I was on a boat in Bobcaygeon I fell off and broke my arm. 🙃

What do I do this evening in Toronto? (After visiting the Spacing store which I am currently racing to before it closes) Please provide your best urbanist ideas.

Infuriating that no matter where you live in this city, you cannot get on a bus that isn’t an absolute sardine can, if you get on at all (which many people did not this morning). Arch-enemy-ship ended with 19. New arch enemy is the R5.

Buying an e-Bike for my new commute - give me your recommendations! I wear a lot of skirts so a step through is ideal.

SkyTrains when actually in the Sky are the optimal way to travel. Underground SkyTrains are still very good but Sky SkyTrains are elite.

The year is 2025 and the Canada Line absolutely reeks of Axe Body Spray.

Aggressively grumpy because of the heat. I was told it was breaking today, what is this 26 bullshit.

2025: watching a tsunami roll in on a Hawaiian resort beach camera.

What a cool and great day to be a woman, yet again. Raise your fucking boys better.

The new Justin Beiber song Daisies sounds like Harry Styles in all the best ways and I’m obsessed.

Please get this man out of office, immediately. This is not who should ever be running a municipality.

Getting deeply frustrated by individuals bringing giant carts of things on the bus or passing out across 3 seats blocking two more when the buses are at massive overcapacity to begin with.

THERE ARE 6 19s IN A ROW AT BURRARD. TROLLEY BUSES ARE SO RIDICULOUS, I HATE THIS CITY.

YOU'RE THE GOVERNMENT

Kelowna’s Cultural District in the summer is what Vancouver could be if any one on City council cared at all about creating actual places for people.

Three bikes at my station - not a single one works. No bikes available at the next nearest station, probably because it takes 8 tries to ever return one. Mobi Bikes has become an entirely useless unmaintained system and I want my money back. What absolute shame and disappointment.

It’s is 3pm, the 9 was 5 minutes late when it is supposed to have 8 minute headways, and it’s so full you can barely move. Have I mentioned how I absolutely hate the underfunding of transit in this city? But sure, let’s spend the little money we have on fare checks that catch 1 person per bus.
