Local woman looking forward to 23 days between harsh winter and uncontrollable wildfires

I have never seen chaos quite like this downtown before. I guess this is what happens when you close one of our very bridge dependent cities bridges but… wild.

Petition for short people to put the fucking seat back in the Evo so I can actually get in the car.

Not thrilled with the lack of diversity coming from the OneCity candidate results, if I’m being quite frank.

Can’t believe @denisagar.bsky.social called me out directly by name to give him more money and then sold the printer he named after me. @movementyvr.bsky.social has the best fundraising emails though - learn from them.

Everyday is racing by and I feel like I’m screaming into a void trying to get things done. I cannot wait until June 13 when this first match is done and I can rest.

The only thing getting me through right now, much like during the last year of grad school (when I crammed a 4-year dual Masters program into 3 and finished 2 thesis in the same year…) is Paramore’s “After Laughter”.

Rooster is an absolute delight of a show. Delight. I love it so much. The best of Steve Carrell.

I have a yard now for the first time since I moved out and I just did two hours of outdoor chores trying to get this place back in order (the last owner did nothing the last couple years) and it looks like I made exactly zero dent. It’s such a small space. I’m so scratched and dirty.

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

My kingdom for a gulf island home next to a farm stand. It’s all I want in life.

Yeah I’m into NFTs: Networks of Frequent Transit s

The current world of AI feels like the self driving car and hyperloops fascination of 2015, where we mostly learned these projects are dogshit and don’t work. And yet, here we are, where shoe companies are pivoting to AI. Have fun with that.

It is 7:00 in the morning and I still can’t get a seat on the bus it’s so full.

A thing I worked on! Go team! dailyhive.com/vancouver/ne...

The Chess soundtrack is out and it’s fucking incredible. Important alert for musical theatre nerds. Also an important note for straight-ish 30-something women musical theatre nerds that Aaron Tveit looks like this now, so. It’s game over for any other men I think, good try.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ THE ALTERNATIVE IS THE BUNGALOW IS TORN DOWN AND REPLACED WITH A 2-3 MILLION SINGLE FAMILY HOME (ALSO HOUSING IS THE ONE THING THAT DOES ACTUALLY TRICKLE DOWN)

I think they made the tent too big.

Iran gets: the strait the hereditary leader the dead guy wanted withdrawal of enemies to tell the story of how they fought off all of west asia plus USA at the same time and won for the next 100 years to give no nuclear assurances USA gets:

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

It is deeply terrifying that America just seems to do nothing about this extremely steep water slide into facism.

BC Ferries ran an Easter egg hunt for the children aboard our Galiano - Vancouver run this weekend and they have this new merchandise that was tailored made for me specifically so, I had a great BC Ferries based weekend at least. The only person who did.

Every year February absolutely drags and the suddenly it’s April. How does this happen, it’s not even like I have kids and Spring Break flies by, etc.

Avi Lewis is not my favourite person but I think he’s the best option this party has right now and I applaud the effort he put into this leadership campaign, so congrats and good luck to him on the battle ahead. May we swing the centre of the political spectrum back to the left.

It is miserable to walk around Vancouver right now - why have we allowed the mid-block closure of so many sidewalks? I have never had to backtrack so much in my life — this is such low hanging fruit to get right!!!

Cities (Paris, New York) continue to be the best of humanity. Living close with others and sharing spaces shows how caring for each other is the only way forward.

Turns out Parisiens really really like their bike paradise?

I would really appreciate if it could get just warm enough that my hands don’t freeze on the 15 minute walk to the bus, that’s all I ask from you, Vancouver.

This city needs to ban WAY more left turns.

I cannot describe how much I love this musical and am dying for the rest of this cast recording. youtu.be/knQ7vyfSxJc?...

American Idol really set out and did what they meant to do back in Season 1. Kelly Clarkson is America’s best singer, no additional seasons were needed, they knocked that out of the park.

There is no musical score better than Chess.

"Open the Strait of Hormuz. You may not receive the help of any other sovereign nation. Fastest wins."

Get rid of the Strait of Hormuz bike lane.

How many times does Harry Styles have to come out before the mainstream media remembers, my god. Let cool bi people live!

Kindly GTFO of my bus with your OneBC hat, that is essentially a walking hate symbol.

Sometimes airplanes have 58295 movie options but you just need to watch Challengers for a 3rd time. Challengers + Heated Rivalry are how I want all my sports media.

Two years notice is more than any other landlord ever. I understand the fears, there are no trailer parks left to go to, a dying land use, but come on now.

if we’re fomenting rage against First Nations because people are being given two years notice to vacate their expiring leaseholds on reserve land then we’ve kind of lost the plot

I have been in two separate commercial establishments today playing 2005 Hilary Duff and I am here for it. Neither is a bar for millennials. One was a Lego store, one a loud bar filled with 20 somethings.

These are all said like they are bad things…

@georgeprbenson.bsky.social Urbanist brunch club in April? Katelyn says she’ll come over and everyone can give her a 30 second elevator pitch about why she should come back to us.

Hair salon doggo.

May I never ever be a senior planner who hates their contemporaries for advocating for a city that houses people in a way they failed to.

Omg good Pokémon is coming to the Switch. Finally. All I want is to play Fire Red Leaf Green and pretend all other Pokémon after that don’t exist.

I am a caricature of a human, currently on my way to binge watch Heated Rivalry with a friend to achieve exactly this.

Fleabag at her mother's funeral

The Hughes brothers owe all their hockey upbringing to Canada and are also Canadians, so in a way, we still won. Hope that Quinn guy manages to fight the Victorian ghost child that stalks him.

The hockey player that hurt my guy Sydney better put some salt around his house because I am sending him so many curses.

I love women’s hockey.
