Any thoughts on where I can take conversational Spanish lessons? I have a good grasp of the grammar and structure, but vocab recall is low because I have no one to practice with!

Today! Soon! Some wonderful indie makers are having a backyard sale! There will be baked goods, custom clothing, handmade jewelry, recycled and upcycled outerwear and other soft goods, and more! Bikes can park right in the backyard and the 7, 8, 14, 15, and 11 buses go right by! #yyj

I’m very grateful for the joy my family brings me. I would have a harder time finding hope if I didn’t see it in the faces of my family every single day.

nah you gotta take it one further. liberation isn't about making comfy spaces for the oppressed to still be oppressed, and it isn't about making you comfy in the context of witnessing oppression. it's "over my dead body" time.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, UVic Legacy Galleries will be shutting down Broad Street between Johnson and Yates for an indigenous artisan market. There will be music by indigenous artists and craft and beading available for purchase. Come see what your local indigenous artists are creating!

The only way to solve Boston’s traffic is to get cars off the road. Encouraging mode shift by getting some people out of their cars and onto public transit or walk/bike as able is the best way to do that. Anything else is just hollow political rhetoric.

1. Starve the people 2. Allow a trickle of food to the hungriest place on earth, and when starving people arrive to get the desperately needed food… 3. Fire on them with tanks! Bravo Netanyahu this will calm fears that Israel is committing endless war crimes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

"People who oppose new housing constitute a pro-landlord lobby. Landlords love a housing shortage because they can charge higher rent" "We're stopping displacement by making room for everyone!" Great video on how NY's tackling their housing crisis @chiosse.bsky.social+ @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social

Congestion pricing in NYC has been a policy miracle. It has dramatically reduced air and noise pollution, saved drivers time money and New Yorker *lives.* There has been a ~50% reduction in injury crashes in the congestion relief zone. Pricing driving delivers better transportation for *everyone.*

Cyclists - I need your input. I’ve had a request to change or add signage along the CRD’s three cycling trails. The max of 32 k/h is on the signage, but it’s quite small and often ignored. I’m considering proposing to the CRD Board, via Transpo Committee, larger signage and better enforcement.

As much as I LOVE a beach fire,,, doing this in this day and age, where a single spark can destroy an entire biome, is very very irresponsible. Please do not have fires on the beach!

Has the Times Colonist gone full tabloid? Incredible to see such low-effort writing today. I know the paper has a certain carbrained bias that they’ll never shake, but it always surprises me to see the slop they publish. #yyj
